[WSO2 API Day Chicago 2019] Sustainable Competitive Advantage WSO2
Sustainable competitive advantage, while once a necessary part of any strategy, is now increasingly obsolete for most firms. The new path to winning means capturing opportunities quickly and exploiting them decisively. It's all about learning to thrive in a transient advantage economy. Transient advantage is the central thesis of Rita McGrath's recent book on competitive advantage. These principles are especially relevant for agile companies that pursue digital-first business models. Quinnox has adopted this philosophy for its clients and its own business where we believe enterprise integration driven by API's is the bridge to digital transformation, speed to market, and frequency to market.

Creating a Successful API Program to Drive Digital TransformationPerficient, Inc.
API management is a driving discipline in the digital transformation movement that can unlock tremendous business value. Because APIs intersect at IT and the business, it’s important to understand how they can be used. APIs can connect inventory management with resource planning for better operational efficiency, integrate with partner organizations for increased sales, and push data to and from a mobile device for the connected enterprise and consumer. The core concepts of APIs are technical in nature, but their business applications are almost limitless.
Creating a successful API program goes way beyond choosing the right tool. The supporting components and disciplines (some tried and true and some emerging) around API management are a critical component of the comprehensive picture.
In this webinar, we discussed:
-The building blocks of a strong API program
-How to get executive buy-in
-Supporting components and disciplines of API management
-How APIs help to build a world-class digital business
Creating hypermedia APIs in a few minutes using the API Platform frameworkLes-Tilleuls.coop
**Download the PPT to see screencasts**
API Platform is new open source PHP framework dedicated to the creation of modern web APIs.
It allows to bootstrap a fully featured API (pagination, validation, filtering, sorting, automatically generated documentation, HTTP cache, OAuth and JWT auth...) in just a few minutes.
It exposes out of the box popular API formats including Swagger, JSON-LD, Hydra, HAL, JSONAPI and Schema.org.
It is extensible and can be specialized with ease. Because it is built on top of the industry-leading Symfony framework, it already counts hundreds of available extensions (bundles).
In this talk, I'll show how to create a hypermedia API in just a few lines of codes, then take a look to the main features of the framework.
APIs and data have not only become a competitive advantage for enterprises but also an innovation tool and source of revenue. Finding the right monetization program is crucial to help you deliver the right business model for your digital assets.

Digital API Ecosystems, Marketplaces and Platforms
Alan Glickenhouse, Digital Transformation Business Strategist at IBM
APIs used to be a technical implementation detail reserved for developers and architects. In the Web age, APIs make more business sense than ever before. This presentation gives a ring side view of How to Craft Business Strategy around APIs.
APIs may have no intrinsic value, but they do bring enormous value to the business.
They do so through their backend data and the application functionality the interface enables.
The API allows systems with great organizational value to be reused.
Growth Hacking APIs: What role do APIs play in your growth strategy.
There’s been lots of buzz in the tech startup space about “growth hacking” – what is it? how is it related to development? how is it related to marketing?
At it’s core, growth hacking is about finding a strategy for growth within the parameters of scalability and replicability, driven by product and inspired by data. Growth hacking’s core is based in marketing but driven by product.
Once the definition is clear, the question then becomes: without a UI to lean on, how does one “growth hack” an API?
At last year’s Nordic API conference, Guillaume Balas from 3Scale presented several typologies of an API, namely API is the product, API projects the product, API promotes the product, and API powers the product.
This presentation will elaborate on and reframe those typologies in the context of marketing and growth hacking of an API. We will examine the circumstances where an API is actually a growth hack in of itself, and where it is in need of growth hacking in order to make the business model behind it succeed.
The presentation will use core concepts of strategic marketing – such as positioning, pricing, targeting, promotion, product and distribution – to create a framework for either growth hacking an API or developing an API as a key tactic in a growth strategy.
Whenever you're into the practice of choosing technology for your destined payment ecosystem, ensure to check these parameters like the payment type, whether the system you follow is regional or not, security infrastructure, and finally overview the performance of the system to ensure the right fit. Sometimes it is good to seek experts' With the help of the latest tools and innovative techniques, Opus has so far helped many businesses to free from their discomfort zone to create remarkable business standards in the market.
Are your APIs becoming too complicated and ad hoc? Feeling the need to set up policies for your API? This presentation will give you strategy options for designing and developing your APIs.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

• How do you create new partnership fast which our outside
of your normal interactions?
Brand loyalty is always under attack
• How do you get and maintain brand loyalty?
10. Business API = Web API = Productized Service
What is a Business API?
A Business API is a public persona for an enterprise; exposing defined
assets, data or services for public consumption
A Business API is simple for app developers to use, access and understand
A Business API can be easily invoked
What Value Does a Business API Provide?
Extends an enterprise and opens new markets by allowing external app
developers to easily leverage, publicize and/or aggregate a company’s
assets for broad-based consumption
What “assets, data or services”
are exposed via a Business API?:
Product catalogs
Store listings
Order status
Inventory
Social interaction
App Developer
24. Are APIs just a new name for SOA?
There are many similarities – but one very important difference:
The objective most have been focusing on achieving with them
“How can I increase the
pace of innovation?”
“How can I increase the agility
and effectiveness of delivery?”
APIs SOA
Reuse → Speed to deliver
Sharing → Expediency
Encapsulate → Less to learn
Reuse → Effort to deliver
Sharing → Effectiveness
Encapsulate → Less to change
25. Each style sprung from the systems they were most
focused on…
APIs SOA
To control the creation and
operational behavior of
Systems of Record services,
use WSRR
To foster innovation through
the consumption of API’s
across Systems of
Engagement, use API Mgmt

26. Two similar worlds converging
SOA Governance API Management
Service
Management
API Management
Mainly about Services Mainly about APIs
Govern services through the
lifecycle
Expose APIs to the Web, manage
them to prevent chaos in usage
Began with Web Services Began with REST
100’s of services Smaller number of APIs
Typically internal, behind firewall External and Internal
Driven by Enterprise Architects Driven by Business, Marketing,
Mobile teams, Innovation teams
Governs with a Stick Governs with a Carrot
Established market presence Newer in market
Contracts enforced with ESBs and
Gateways
Security and Entitlements
controlled by Gateway
“The overlap between
SOA governance
technology and API
management is
significant.”
“It is about tracking and
monitoring the artifacts
in an SOA or an API
project, enforcing and
ensuring compliance
with the policies
associated with the
artifacts and measuring
the outcomes related to
their use.”

28. API Management Introduction and General
Concepts
- Terminologies
- Roles & Responsibilities
- Architectural Use Cases
- Types of APIs
- API Styles
29. Terminologies: Web APIs, Mashups, Apps
Web API
• A defined set of HTTP request messages along with a definition of the
structure of response messages, typically expressed in JSON or XML
Web App
• A web application or web app is any application software that runs in a
web browser or is created in a browser-supported programming
language (such as the combination of JavaScript, HTML and CSS) and
relies on a common web browser to render the application
Mashup
• A web page, or web application, that uses Web APIs to combine data,
presentation or functionality from two or more sources to create new
services.
30. Terminologies: Web APIs, Mashups, Apps
API Key
• A code passed in by computer programs calling an API
• Identifies the calling program, its developer, or its user to
the Web site.
• Used to track and control how the API is being used, for
example to prevent malicious use or abuse of the API (as
defined perhaps by terms of service).
OAuth
• OAuth is an open standard for authorization
• OAuth provides client applications a 'secure delegated
access' to server resources on behalf of a resource owner
31. Roles & Relationships in the API economy
App Developer Business User IT Person
• Develops cool new
applications against new
public or private APIs
• Understands one or more
web programming languages
• Spends his free time
developing Apps too
• Wants to reach new markets
through new channels
• Understands the business
and value of assets being
exposed
• Needs to experiment with
different programs and
campaigns to drive adoption
• Product Manages the
initiative
• Exposing public APIs might
be new to the IT Person
• Worried about security and
scalability of infrastructure
• Short on time to do new
projects
32. Companies Need to Become an Engaging
Enterprise
Apps
Customer
Business User
Enterprise
IT
App Developer
• Business Users want to
engage Customers in new
markets
• They need to Externalize the
Enterprise
• They need to get Apps in front
of these Customers
• Apps need APIs that
Externalize the Enterprise
• App Developers use APIs
• App Developers are now
External to the Enterprise
• IT Guys need to secure, scale
and support the externalized
Enterprise
• Business Users and IT Guys
needs Insights so they can
respond to business needs
The Platform
Enterprises wants to tap into
innovation from a large
community of developers, not
just developers they employ
33. Customers will require a combination of three API types
Public, Open-To-
All APIs
Protected, Open-
To-Partner APIs
Private, Internal
APIs
• APIs are open to any
developer who wants to
sign up
• Apps are more targeted
towards end consumers
• The business driver is to
engage customers through
external developers
• APIs are open to select
business partners
• Apps could be targeted at
end consumers or business
users
• The business driver is
usually different, based on
the data and type of
business of the enterprise
• APIs are exposed only to
existing developers within
the enterprise
• Apps are usually targeted
at employees of the
enterprise
• The business driver is more
around productivity of
employees
34. For Free
Drives Adoptions of APIs
Typically low valued
assets
Drive brand loyalty
Enter new channels
Example:
Facebook Login API
provides free
authentication for any
Web / mobile app
Developer Pays
Business Asset must be of
high value to the Developer
For example, marketing
analytics, news,
Capabilities such as credit
checks
Example:
Amazon EC2 Web
Services – APIs charge
per usage to launch and
manage virtual servers.
Developer Gets Paid
Provides incentive for
developer to leverage web
API
Ad placements
Percentage of revenue
sold product or services
Example:
Google AdSense APIs
pay developers who
include advertising
content into apps
Indirect
Use of API achieves some
goal that drives business
model.
E.g. Increase awareness
of specific content, or
offerings
Example:
eBay Trading APIs offer
developers access to
trading services
extending the reach of
listings and transactions
API Monetization Models
35. Typical App Developer Requirements
Ease of Use
• Simple Easy Sign up process
• Provide clear documentation, Samples, SDK
Simple Documentation
• Clear pricing & entitlement information
Provide Usage Metrics
• App performance
• Usage Data & Metrics
Free Trial
• “Let me try it first”
• Allow free usage to get customer base
36. API Exposure Considerations
No One Size Fits all Recommendation
• More of a business decision for an organization
• Based on business model
Should we go public?
• You don’t want to expose all assets
• Information Security plays a role
Combination of exposure? Public and
Private
• Consider overheads
• Manage versions, Synchronize changes
37. Explore, Experiment, Expand & Embrace
• APIs can change scope over
time if needed from private to
protected or public and from
protected to public.
• Once an API is made public
though, it is considered a
contract with the consumer
and would need to follow a
formal deprecation process to
be removed.

38. Essentials for successful API
• Self-Registration
• Easy Sign up
• Comprehensive
Entitlements
• Clear Pricing
• Encourage
participation
• Managed forum
• Feedback mechanism
• Good and Meaningful
• To-the-point
• Simple Code Samples
• Learning from the
popular APIs
• Facebook, Twitter,
Google etc
