Traditional insurers are no longer safe with insurtechs challenging incumbents to rethink their business and operating models. This mass disruption creates increased pressure on IT to deliver intrinsic business value, including new services, customer touchpoints, and experiences. Successful insurance transformation requires rethinking the traditional IT operating model to allow IT to focus on creating reusable assets that empower lines of business. Doing so increases IT’s delivery capacity, making businesses more agile.

Every company today is a software company and, as a result, business and technology strategies ought to be very intertwined. But often, those strategies aren’t in alignment, leading to challenges in information technology. And in today’s hyper-competitive business environment, that can be disastrous. Companies have to ask themselves: How can we tackle challenges of information technology? Are we doing IT wrong?

Today’s CIOs are the key players who enable organizations to respond to the disruptive forces and information technology challenges impacting all industries — mobile, IoT and SaaS among others. In order to increase speed and agility there must be a strong partnership between IT and the rest of the business.

Read this eBook to learn:

• Why we have been doing IT wrong and how putting culture first and technology second, valuing reuse and leveraging KPIs can push CIOs to the right direction.
• How IT teams can address their delivery gap and increase project delivery speed by adopting a new IT operating model: API-led connectivity.
• How APIs can close the IT delivery gap and become the de facto way of packaging up and exposing applications, devices and data.

Access to data – particularly customer data – is critical for companies looking to transform customer experience. This is why organizations start initiatives to create a single customer view. Building this single customer view without APIs, however, is becoming more difficult due to the large number of fragmented systems.

Read this whitepaper to learn:

• A new approach to modularizing your single customer view, to accommodate changes, trends, market shifts, and other factors in order to deliver the right experience to your customers at the right time.
• How an API-led approach to integrating systems provides a well-constructed single customer view using APIs, and we’ll also suggest tools to make this job easier.
• The stories of customers like SES who used MuleSoft’s solution and approach to successfully set up a single customer views using APIs.

The healthcare industry has been affected by disruption and the need for healthcare innovation. Legislative, market, and technology pressures make it imperative for healthcare organizations — including hospitals and health systems, payers, and life sciences companies — to become more agile.

IT teams in the industry are considering a microservices-based architecture as a means of accelerating healthcare innovation and increasing project delivery speed. MuleSoft research suggests that application development productivity increases of up to 10x are possible. Healthcare specifically stands to benefit from this architectural paradigm.

This whitepaper will address:

• Why microservices matter for healthcare IT teams and for healthcare innovation.
• Design principles for a microservices architecture.
• How Anypoint Platform can help you implement microservices best practices.

Healthcare organizations across the care continuum, from hospitals and health systems, to health insurers, to life sciences companies, must digitally transform in order to address legislative and market disruption.

Driving digital transformation in healthcare requires connectivity across an ever-increasing number of applications, data and devices. Because of this, connectivity has emerged as a bottleneck that slows the development of new applications and the adoption of new technologies.

In response, leading healthcare organizations have adopted API-led connectivity, which eliminates this connectivity bottleneck and enables 2-5X IT project delivery.

In the wake of recent legislative pressures and the formation of the Digital Transformation Agency, Australian state and federal government agencies face an imperative to deliver superior digital services to employees and citizens without a corresponding increase in budget. As a result, many agencies have turned to IT modernisation as a means of driving more cost-effective digital transformation.

The key to successful execution of digital transformation initiatives depends on a new approach to integration and API strategy called API-led connectivity.

In this whitepaper, you will learn:

• Why Australian government agencies must change how they deliver IT projects, and the role integration and an API strategy play in supporting the modernisation of government IT.
• How to build out an API-led architecture within a government agency to realise 2-5x increases in IT productivity.
• How best practice from initiatives like Service NSW provide a model for government agencies to pursue digital transformation and government IT modernisation.

Today, government IT teams are expected to deliver more services with fewer resources. Consequently, many agencies have prioritized legacy modernization, interoperability and shared service models as a means towards increasing IT delivery capacity.

But those approaches are easier talked about than executed. As agencies embark on legacy modernization, it becomes imperative to open up the existing technology so that new innovations can be delivered as needed in a secure way.

In this guide, produced in partnership with Govloop, we will discuss

• A five-play roadmap to help those in government get a better sense of where to start on modernization projects.
• An overview of the Information Technology Modernization Fund (ITMF).
• Featured government success stories highlighting their modernization projects.
• The IT Modernization Lifecycle, based on the recent report by the American Council for Technology-Industry Advisory Council.
