This chapter focuses on the value that Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) bring to the business. It begins by describing how digital disruption is forcing organizations to change in order to innovate and therefore avoid being disrupted. To this end, I explain how APIs enable digital strategies and digital transformation by unlocking key enterprise information assets and functionality, which are typically locked in systems of record, many of which are legacy. The chapter continues by elaborating on the value chain of APIs and how each level of maturity delivers new capabilities to the business.
