Business of APIs

I recently discussed what data/content enterprises can open up to the public through APIs.  This week, I want to discuss the customer and/or partner API tier.  This tier covers data that is too important to the enterprise to be made public, but is very useful to its customers and/or partners. 

As we get ready for the Business of APIs conference (BAPI) in London, Nov. 6, here is a look at some of the amazing photos from BAPI New York.

After listening to the DreamForce 2012 Keynote address earlier this week it dawned on me that what the world has been experiencing in the last few years is nothing compared to what’s about to come.

Most people think of Facebooking or Tweeting is merely just a fun hobby or activity. For others it’s a business that is really still in its infancy.

We’re less than two weeks from BAPI SF. While you still have a few days left for San Francisco early bird pricing, we want everyone to be up to speed on new speakers and talks that have confirmed. We’ve just announced the addition of the following new speakers and talks to its BAPI conference lineup in each city:

San Francisco:
• GetSatisfaction CEO Wendy Lea will join moderator Victoria Barret of Forbes Magazine for a fireside chat about her journey from traditional partner ecoystems to APIs.

What does The New York Times have to do with Best Buy? Or Intuit and ESPN? Maybe USA Today and Twilio?

The easy answer is that they are among the companies you’ll find represented at the annual Business of APIs (BAPI) conference, the premier global forum for API experts and professionals. The conference will be in the Julia Morgan Ballroom at Merchants Exchange in San Francisco on Oct., 360 Degrees in New York on Oct. 17 and Altitude 360 - 29th Floor at Millibank Tower in London on Nov. 6.
