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.

Read this whitepaper to learn:

• An overview of the challenges insurers are facing in the industry.
• How a new IT operating model – API-led connectivity – allows IT teams to unlock data from legacy systems and drive reuse across the enterprise.
• Strategies for using APIs to create a single view of the customer and build connected customer experiences.

IT teams across industries face growing pressure to deliver projects faster while reducing costs. All too often, dated legacy systems hinder IT’s ability to accomplish either of these objectives. Legacy systems can also slow the speed at which IT can deliver new projects to support the business. For these reasons, legacy modernization has emerged as a key strategic imperative. But where should organizations start? One large global bank provides a detailed blueprint for how large enterprises can do so.

Read this legacy modernization blueprint to learn:

• The bank’s legacy modernization strategy, and how they used Anypoint Platform.
• Best practices for modernizing legacy SOA web services.
• How to think about re-architecting monolithic applications into microservices.
• The role that APIs play in driving an effective legacy modernization strategy.

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.

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.

Organizations are increasingly looking for ways to better compete in the market by releasing products and/or services more quickly. This has left us with a variety of technology buzzwords, from APIs and microservices to DevOps, all promising great gain.

It’s worth asking: which are worth the cost and time to implement? And what are the advantages of APIs, microservices and DevOps?

Read this e-book to learn about the advantages of APIs, microservices and DevOps, all of which can help organizations increase their capacity for change. Topics covered include:

• The API economy and how it is igniting a cultural shift in businesses.
• How APIs and microservices are not only becoming the norm in enterprises, but are also changing the role of IT.
