APIs are not a new name for SOA Services
There are many similarities – but one very important difference:
The objective they are intended to achieve
APIs SOA
“How can I increase
the pace of
innovation?”
“How can I increase the
agility and effectiveness of
delivery?”
Reuse → Speed to deliver
Sharing → Expediency
Encapsulate → Less to learn
Reuse → Effort to deliver
Sharing → Effectiveness
Encapsulate → Less to change

What is a Business API?
A Business API is a public persona for an enterprise; exposing defined
assets, data or services for public consumption
A Business API is simple for app developers to use, access and
understand
A Business API can be easily invoked
What Value Does a Business API Provide?
Extends an enterprise and opens new markets by allowing external app
developers to easily leverage, publicize and/or aggregate a company’s
assets for broad-based consumption
What “assets, data or services”
are exposed via a Business API?:
Product catalogs
Store listings
Order status
Inventory
Social interaction
…….
…….
Business API = Web API = Product

How can the API Economy help you?
•Mobile (internal dev) –
•What data/transactions would your own mobile apps need?
•Is there data that is generic (e.g. business locations, rates, etc.)?
•Is there data that is specific to existing customers that should be accessible via your app?
•Partnering –
•Is partner on boarding a long difficult process? Would self registration of partners be of value (e.g. more partners,
wider geographic coverage)?
•What data/transactions do you share between yourself and your partners?
•Public Composite Apps –
•What apps might others write that could use your data/transactions?
•If there were a comparison app for you vs. your competitors would you want to be listed as an option?
•What other industry sales might also use your products (e.g. car purchase needs bank loan)?
•Think Mash-ups – what other APIs might make sense with yours? Mapping? Social?
•Social / Big Data –
•How do your systems interact with social media? Can you spot trends in social media and raise alerts or take action?
•Can you gain insight on your brand and your competition via social media?
•Can you do real time analytics combining current customer status/behavior and history?
•Device integration/wearables –
•How are you positioned to integrate the next UI technology (after Mobile/Tablets)?
•Does your company deal with devices (e.g. cars, appliances, sensors/meters)? What scenarios can apply to the
device (e.g. needs repair/supplies, needs to send status info, interaction between device and xxx)?
•Valuable Data –
•What data do you collect on your clients?
•Can your data identify market segments that would be of interest to a non-related industry? (e.g. expensive cars are
purchased in this neighborhood, lots of child related purchases occurring in this neighborhood).
