CIO Guide to Universal API Management

The next evolution of full lifecycle API management

The rise of new solutions and technologies like generative AI open up new market opportunities and use cases. At the same time data has quickly become the new currency. To take full advantage of this opportunity, and not fall behind the competition, an organization’s digital building blocks must be easily accessible across the organization.

And the reality is that things are only getting more complicated, and API proliferation only continues to grow. The traditional enterprise landscape uses nearly 1000 applications and between ten to thirty APIs per application. Now, AI had exploded in adoption and only exacerbates this proliferation — as these APIs often interface with large language models (LLMs).

In an ideal world, an API strategy would be a one-size-fits-all solution, but the reality is vastly different. APIs are in various programming languages and serve distinct functions across the business, which means a universal API management vision and strategy are vital.

An universal API management approach allows organizations to manage, govern, and secure across the digital ecosystem — no matter where your APIs are created.
