When building software, the API first approach is the only way to go. Enterprises that are seeking Software Development must definitely consider leveraging the unlimited potential of building APIs.
3. The Mobile Onslaught…(or why building
for the Web isn’t enough anymore)
90% of all Black Friday 2014 Traffic from Mobile Devices
50% of online shopping traffic was Mobile
93% of smartphone owners use their smartphones at
home
Apple iPhone App downloads have exceeded 15 Billion
(yes Billion) in the App Store
and this is just the beginning…wait…what?!
4. IoT is coming…err…has arrived
2014 was a lot of IoT hype.
2015 is when it gets real.
Platforms will evolve.
Wearables (Google Glass,
Fitbit, Microsoft Band, Apple
Watch)
Home Automation (Nest,
Dropcam, Philips Hue)
Smart Devices (Ninja Blocks)
$3 Trillion Market. 3 Billion Connected Devices by 2020

5. Are Enterprises Ready?
The short answer…NO
Nearly 60% of Enterprises have less than 1 Mobile
Application for Employees and/or Customers.
Employees and Customers are using products from
Mobile devices fully expecting first class Mobile
experiences - Enterprises are failing to keep up.
Enterprises are unaware of the benefits of the “API
Economy”
