Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have become the digital connective tissue of modern organisations, adding new capabilities to everything from their operations and products to their partnership strategies. It’s no longer a stretch to say that most organisations don’t ask whether to engage in API programs, but rather how to do so. However, as API projects more complex, managing them can become increasingly difficult.
