A key technical underpinning of the cloud and the Internet of Things are Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). APIs provide consistent methods for outside entities such as web services, clients and desktop applications to interface with services in the cloud.

Accelerated digital transformation places new demands on business. To stay competitive, organizations must quickly adapt their business models and processes. Business process management (BPM), business rules management (BRM), and mobile applications are increasingly important to many business transactions—from customer-facing to business-to-employee (B2E) and business-to-business (B2B) interactions.

Organizations are at a strategic crossroads. According to IDC analysts,1 two-thirds of CEOs will center their corporate strategies around digital transformation initiatives. The goal of digital transformation is only partly to make existing functions more effective. The greater goal is to be able to do new things and use existing data in new, better ways. Yet, 72% of current IT spending2—and the focus of IT resources—is on maintaining existing systems. This creates tension between what needs to be done today and what should be done for the future. Middle-tier applications, according to IDC,3 are the core of a digital transformation strategy because they provide data integration, messaging, and application programming interface (API) management. Middle-tier applications also provide a platform for application development and management that can handle traditional enterprise applications and cloud-native, distributed applications. Specifically, a Java™ EE-based application platform can

A business survives when it extends its core competencies in new ways. Increasingly, one of the paths to innovation lies with application programming interfaces (APIs). APIs allow a business to take traditional revenue (and traditional customer and partner interactions) and carry them into a different technological foundation. This enables new customer and ecosystem relationships that can monetize the organization’s core assets and lead to sustained growth and new value and revenue streams.

Today's business buyers are cautiously working to make smarter, more informed decisions.
