Our convictions
API management platforms and event buses have become standard components of information systems. Their presence guarantees nothing: when it comes to API architecture, many widely held beliefs turn out to be wrong. A poorly designed architecture leads to poor usage — or worse, to no usage at all by its target audience, application developers.
API design is where it is won or lost. A badly designed API will see little use from your customers, whatever the quality of the platform hosting it.
What we offer
- Enablement and training — building awareness of key API concepts across your teams through workshops, serious games and card-based exercises.
- API economy strategy — identifying where APIs create value (innovation, shorter time to market, better reuse of IT assets) and prioritising the highest-value use cases.
- API architecture — defining your architecture and design guidelines, industrialising the delivery platform, and supporting your choice of API manager, message broker or event broker.
- API monetisation — identifying monetisation opportunities, defining pricing models, and integrating APIs into your commercial strategy.
- Governance and organisation — management policies, security standards, and the organisation of your API ecosystem to ensure consistency, quality and compliance.
- Developer experience and community — developer experience, clear documentation, and community building among internal users and partners.
Example projects
- Defining API design guidelines and the associated review process for a banking group.
- Selecting and rolling out an API management platform across a multi-entity IT estate.
- Building a developer portal and its documentation for a partner ecosystem.
