API management and SOA governance have converged into the consolidated space of application services governance. The practice provides tools to deliver APIs and SOA together to achieve business success of an enterprise. Application services governance brings the best of lifecycle management, runtime management and community management together to help leverage services, APIs and applications deployed through these. The focus on runtime capabilities and operations helps to maximize the value of business. Enforcing policies, managing corporate governance, and following best practices is essential to ensure the implementation of automated processes for performance, security and error handling. In this session, we will discuss what application services governance is, and why and how it is used.
