API LED Connectivity Approach

In today's fast-growing world, we all are bounded by time and need our things as fast as possible on our tables. So, is the case of tech-domain. The world is viewing a shift in the digital world. It is highly visible that various fields are extending their business from physical to virtual world. An instance for that is that fruits are now not only available in a physical market but can be bought through online platforms. And this shift of the digital world is making the business environment more competitive. Therefore, to be more rapid, effective the older technologies of integration need modification. Hence, the rapid change in older integration technologies are seen nowadays. SOA (service-oriented architecture) does provide theoretical instructions but it rarely meets the expectations when used practically. Therefore, today's companies have to be up to date to provide a smooth and hurdle-less experience to their users. Also, it's a known fact that this digital transformation is not a product of only one technology or applications. It requires multiple technologies and applications to go hand in hand to meet all the requirements of the user. In order to do so, they must bring data from disparate sources to multiple audiences, such as customers, suppliers, and employees, securely, and at scale. That is why now connectivity is seen as an executive concern. But still there are organizations who don't consider connectivity as an important part to lead their whole firm onto the path of success. Earlier approaches were made for fewer endpoints and slower delivery expectations. That's why we need new point to point integrations. IT leaders then must meet two seemingly contradictory goals: they must ensure stability and control over core systems of record, while enabling innovation and rapid iteration of the applications that access those systems of record. This is the challenge now variously referred to as bi - modal or two-speed IT. Existing connectivity approaches are not fit for these new challenges. And using SOAP-based web services technology to implement SOA proved to be a heavyweight approach that was ill-suited then and even more ill-suited now for today's mobile use cases. This research paper highly focuses on the new approaches towards connectivity of multiple technologies and their integration. API - led connectivity approach meets all today's connectivity needs. This research paper would be providing an outline of the core of this approach, implementation's challenges and discuss how IT leaders can realize this vision in their own organizations.
