SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - June 24, 2010) - Sonoa Systems, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise API management solutions, and Apigee, a free API tools and management platform, today announced its Apigee Rapid API workshops, a set of best practices delivered as an on-site workshop to enable enterprises to design and accelerate their API strategy. Workshops are half or full day sessions for enterprise API teams covering case studies, lessons learned, and business and product strategy frameworks from dozens of API programs across different vertical industries.
Trends in mobile, social and cloud computing represent a massive opportunity for enterprises to evolve their business models with APIs -- extending reach, increasing engagement, and driving revenue and value to customers. Sonoa has collected API strategy, technology, and marketing best practices from hundreds of enterprises with experience in driving API adoption, including customers such as MTV, Blockbuster, and TransUnion Interactive. Apigee workshops combine learnings from these and other enterprise API case studies to provide an in-depth look at strategic and business model examples, product and technology considerations, and adoption strategies.
"Enterprises today are realizing the opportunity an API provides, and many are looking for guidance on best practices and pitfalls. We hear questions from everything from how to approach overall strategy, to product development and monetization, to insight into what web and app developers are building and -- most importantly for the bottom line -- revenue, cost models and resources required," said Sam Ramji, VP of strategy for Sonoa Systems. "Our approach is to answer these questions with what we've learned along the way from the customers we've had the privilege to work with."
Workshops are customized for a customer's needs and industry, taking either a full- or half-day deep dive into topics such as:
- API market trends: how to communicate the importance of APIs
- Patterns in successful API design and developer programs
- Quantitatively modeling out the impact of your API strategy
- Create an API dashboard: example API metrics
- API technical and product roadmap considerations
- Driving developer community and planning an API launch strategy
