Agenda

Netflix did not kill Blockbuster. Ridiculous late fees did.
Uber is not killing the taxi business nor is Airbnb killing the hotel industry. Limited
access and ridiculous fares is.
Spotify did not kill the music industry. Being forced to buy full-length albums did.
AWS/Cloud is not killing the on-premise infrastructure & software business.
Ridiculous provisioning timeframes, inflexibility and high costs is.
APIs and Microservices are not killing traditional SOA. Unnecessary
complexity, inflexibility to scale, complicated services and lengthily (costly)
delivery timeframes are.
Disruptive Innovation or lack of adaptability?

It is the one that is the most adaptable to change”

Disruptive Innovation or lack of adaptability?
Technology by itself is not the real
disruptor. Lack of customer centricity
and business adaptability is the biggest
threat to any business.
….However without the right technology to enable the business,
achieving such ambitions won’t be possible.

Application Programming
Interfaces (APIs) are doors to
information and functionality
They are an organisation’s main
entrance to digital services and
offerings

But even doors can be poorly designed and implemented…

Ops, but also management of API Communities

Expedia’s APIs allow
people using third-party
websites to tap its
functionality in order to
book flights, cars, and
hotels.
60%
eBay to list its auctions
on other websites, get
bidder information about
sold items, collect

transactions, and list
new items for sale — all
of which give additional
exposure to eBay items
and increase revenue.
