API TOOLS
8. API MARKETING & CULTURE CHANGE
ENTERPRISES ARE MOVING ON FROM THE “WHY” API’S TO THE
“HOW” – BUT THERE IS CULTURE CHANGE JOURNEY NEEDED
ACROSS THE LOB AREAS TO ENSURE THE VALUE AND BENEFITS
OF API’S ARE ALIGNED WITH THE ORGANISATIONAL PRIORITIES
9. API (Application Programming Interface)
FACILITATES INTERACTION
An API powers 3rd party
apps, widgets, gadgets,
badges, social sharing
mobile apps.
An API is an open distribution
channel that enables you to Expand
your Business and/or make it More
Productive
WHAT IS AN API?
TIP: Focus on the
broad theme – use
a video or you tube
clip to connect with
your audience.
Start Simple!
10. API API API
TIP: Click down a
level…..Break Up
your messaging into
“generic” + Line of
Business Context
A material master API
to expose SoR
information in an easy
way (e.g. ERP
reference code,
quantities)
Information on
product marketing
specifications (e.g. size
of product, variant)
Composite API for
Images and Data, with
filters for geography

publicly expose information and
functionalities to 3rd parties that do
not necessarily have a business
relationship with them.

API TYPES
TIP: Get straight
into context of why
APIs are NOT your
traditional or typical
interfaces
12. • Optimised for Modern Developers and Developer Practices
• Focus on app potential consumers, not just back office
integration
• Supports many deployment patterns from Enterprise ESB
to container/microservice patterns.
• Enable Innovation as capabilities are unlocked to allow
rapid experimentation- Fail Fast concepts.
• Pace layer the enterprise by decoupling more complex
System of Record integration from the faster innovative
requirements.
TIP: Recap the why
and “engage” the
audience around
current
understanding
WHY APIs
13. CULTURE CHANGE
• “The Five Monkeys”…
• People “like” doing what they know
• APIs are new
• Perception = complex & costly?!
• Reluctance of adoption
TIP: Don’t tell your
audience to
change….
