Also, I describe best practices for crafting usable APIs, and strategies top evangelists deploy to build effective developer communities. Given at Seattle APIs and IPAs July 20 2017.
Focus of Application-Developers creating business applications are on app-development and NOT how to manage APIs in the corporate API-Management platform. Hence plan your API-Management solution as a Self-Service platform with the goal to keep it simple for API-Providers as well. For instance by providing an integrated DevOps pipeline for their APIs in same way as for their software projects. This pipeline helps application developers to push changes of their APIs into the API-Platform frequently without any effort. And it must start at the design-phase until an API gets retired.

Keynote at APIDays Melbourne 2016, Steven Willmott - 3scale.
Organizations have recognized that making available IT systems as APIs for both internal and external developers can create huge new opportunities for agility, products and ultimately revenue. However, while this "platform thinking" holds great potential, it can be extremely challenging to determine how to deliver on these opportunities. In this talk we'll look at how focusing on the value APIs can deliver helps underpin genuine success for an API program and an organization's platform initiatives as a whole.
APIs are changing the way we build applications and changing the way we expose data, both inside and outside our organizations. But what is the most efficient and effective way to deliver these APIs? That’s the job of the API gateway. In this session, we will look at different deployment patterns for API gateways.
"How to create an efficient API.. with a business model?" by Nicolas GreniéTheFamily
A common mistake when discussing API business models is to think of the API first. But everyone should consider how an API will interact with a business model.
We will answer to the following questions:
What is an API? Which business model can you include in an API? How to use the canvas model to build a badass API?
Nicolas Grenié is a Hacker in Residence at 3scale living between Barcelona and San Francisco. He built his first website in 2000 using Microsoft Word, and since them did not stop learning about programming. Nicolas likes to try new languages all the time, so he has experience in PHP, Ruby and Node. When not working you have a good chance to find him hacking on side projects or enjoying a good craft beer. And of course, as he is French, frog and snails are part of his daily diet!

What business revenue models are most successful for API providers seeking to build active third-party developer communities? How much can an API act to leverage revenue growth and market share, and what timeline for success is realistic? This presentation goes beyond the theory to share some initial data on what businesses are experiencing when implementing an API strategy.
This presentation summarizes the critical success factors from 15 API business case studies including:
- Type of business model used and revenue-share data against cost estimations
- What developer engagement strategies grew API usage the fastest
- What factors reduced churn rate amongst third-party developers
- Developer onboarding timeframe
- What factors influenced internal support for an API strategy
Sachin Agarwal, SOA Software VP of Product Marketing, explains the frenzy around the mass development and adoption of APIs. In this presentation, he describes the business and technology implications of developing an API stratgy.
Traditional retailers are under assault from the demands of the digital economy. The power is shifting from the enterprise to consumers, who are demanding interactive, personalized experiences, wherever they are, whenever they need it. For these consumers, a different retailer is just a click away.
In this webcast, Norman Woodard from Accenture and Apigee’s Brian Pagano describe the latest technologies retail companies use to analyze and understand their customers: where they are, on what channels and devices, and how they interact with the retailer. We will explore how building deep insights about customers' context helps retailers provide the relevant, individualized experiences that increase customer engagement.

Improving the Demand Side of the AI Economy (API World 2018)Konstantin Savenkov
Training AI in-house is often infeasible as it requires a critical mass of talent and data, and has high R&D risks. For Cognitive AI, like machine translation and speech recognition, hundreds of pre-trained and adaptive models are already available on the market via APIs from many vendors. Their performance varies case by case and change often. Their prices are 100x-200x times different, hence a wrong choice may be a complete miss.
In this talk, we argue that the only way to go is to evaluate and continuously optimize AI vendor portfolio and introduce our vendor-agnostic demand-side API platform for AI.

Lean Method for Building Good APIs for Business – APIOps CyclesNordic APIs
APIs are a piece of technology, but they do have a business purpose and a user, or rather a developer experience which makes them either good or horrible to use and develop. Without great business-oriented APIs, there can be no API economy. In general lean architecture methods exist but are not used enough. They are useful for DevOps and Agile development, but APIs need special attention. There is a need for a “double loop” of DevOps with APIs, that’s one thing. The more important thing is to use methods which help you to treat your API as a product while covering all important business model and architecture areas. Discussions and collaboration is the key to any successful architecture. Still, many of us design our APIs and software in endless meetings or alone, using no methods at all or methods and language known only by IT professionals. The world could do with a lot of better API designs which translate into better business. These were all reasons to develop the creative-commons licensed open and lean APIOps Cycles method (www.apiopscycles.com). This talk tells the basics of the method, plus some examples of how companies have used it.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields

But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
