API Trends – Building a path to smoother digital transformation

By Sudhir Verma, Director, Emerging Technologies

APIs have become key for enabling an agency’s journey to digital transformation and enhancing citizen experience. Agencies are turning to integration not only to rapidly access critical data, but also to build scalable, resilient applications that can meet the security and regulatory compliance requirements for the public sector.

Understanding emerging API trends and their impact is critical to building better, more efficient digital transformation. Here are some of the trends to look for in 2023.

(1) Composable enterprise

Analysts such as Gartner predict that by the end of 2023, 60% of organizations will identify becoming a composable enterprise as a strategic objective. The need to create packaged business capabilities to achieve such strategies will only increase the importance of APIs. A composable architecture enables organizations the ability to discover all their API capabilities, promote their reuse in a modular way, choreograph or orchestrate them into new applications (or API products), and execute toward measurable business outcomes.
