Using an API strategy as a foundation for BPM

Business Process Management is an important part of continuous improvement and business transformation, but many organizations struggle with implementing it effectively. Learn how a holistic API strategy, API-led connectivity, can help your organization implement BPM with ease.

This whitepaper will cover:

• An overview of Business Process Management
• A new way of thinking about implementing BPM with APIs
• A walkthrough of a use case on how an organization uses API-led connectivity to successfully implement BPM
• Best practices to adopt BPM with Anypoint Platform

Evolving citizen and constituent expectations have created the imperative for government to digitally transform. Delivering on these expectations grows more challenging by the year, as the proliferation of modern technologies (e.g. SaaS, mobile, IoT) forces IT teams to rethink how to best deliver projects to their constituents and deliver on their mission.

Microservices have emerged as a means through which government IT teams can increase project delivery speed without compromising on security. This whitepaper discusses the role microservices can play in government, and how API-led connectivity helps agencies to more effectively and securely implement a microservices architecture.

Readers will learn:

• How agencies have increased IT agility with reusable microservices
• Why government IT teams must move beyond point-to-point integration
• How microservices enable secure data sharing within and across agencies
• How API-led connectivity supports microservices adoption in government

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. We propose that successful execution of these initiatives within the confines of a strictly managed budget requires a new approach to integration, one centered around APIs.

Our recommended approach, API-led connectivity, builds on the principles of re-use first outlined by SOA, while avoiding many of the pitfalls that limited the success of heavyweight SOA implementations.

In this whitepaper, you will learn:

• What forces drive digital transformation in federal government, and what role integration plays in supporting digital transformation
• How a civilian federal agency leveraged APIs to modernize legacy systems and accelerate the speed of integration
• How to build out an API-led architecture within a government agency to accelerate project delivery through promotion of re-use

The future of financial services is under pressure from profound digital disruption. Across the globe, there are forces, both regulatory and customer-led, that open up the market to new entrants and disrupt what customers are buying — and how. The advent of Open Banking is one major influence, with Open APIs paving the way for third-party developers to build applications and services independently.

This whitepaper outlines the challenges facing financial services firms and how a new approach to enterprise integration — API-led connectivity — can help banks and financial services firms not only survive, but thrive in an increasingly competitive future.

83% of insurance CEOs say they are “concerned” about the speed of technological change in the marketplace. This need for speed within the insurance market is creating a need for an "insurance as a platform" model in order to integrate systems and partners. An integration platform will be the key to delighting customers, launching new and richer products, partnering with third parties such as InsurTech, and ultimately growing revenue.

Read this whitepaper to understand:

• How packaging your insurance organization as a series of discrete capabilities will achieve revenue growth
• Why adopting an API-led approach to connectivity will quickly achieve this ‘insurance as a platform’ model
• How you can get started on an insurance integration platform today
