Organizations Recognize Revenue More Quickly
from API-Dependent Initiatives by Cutting App Deployment Time from
90 Days to Three Days with CA API Management
A recent study shows CA API Management helps drive business
growth by improving the time-to-market for revenue-generating
applications that depend on APIs. Results show a 97 percent time
improvement to deploy apps that require integration with multiple
data sets—going from 90 days to three days using CA’s API
solutions. The study, “The Total Economic Impact™ of CA
Technologies CA API Management,”1 conducted by Forrester Consulting
and commissioned by CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA), provides analysis
from Forrester based on in-depth interviews with CA API Management
customers.
Consumer and employee appetite for more applications is growing
and 94 percent of business executives said they faced increased
pressure to release apps more quickly2. APIs are being used to help
speed app development and delivery.
“In the application economy, companies are facing increasing
pressure to move toward an API-first architecture as they digitally
transform their businesses,” said Phil Walston, API Management vice
president, CA Technologies. “Businesses are looking for new ways of
engaging with customers, partners and employees to generate revenue
opportunities using connected devices, big data and analytics.
Underpinning these new models is a fundamental shift in the way
software is developed and deployed, and APIs are the building
blocks enabling that shift.”
CA API Management delivers cross-functional benefit across a
variety of users including the developer building the apps, the
business executive who owns the new business service, and
enterprise architect responsible for managing and securing the API.
It helps companies meet the surge in demand to deploy apps quickly
while also reducing the time and effort required to manage APIs and
deliver tangible return on investment (ROI) for customers.
Further value can be found in CA API Management’s speed in
transforming data to help ensure smooth application integration.
Analysis showed “a reduction in time to perform data
transformations from six weeks to two days due to easier back-end
integration with legacy systems. For example, XML transformations
used to be more difficult and time-consuming prior to CA API
Management. Because the platform has lightweight ESB capabilities,
these transformations are performed 94% more quickly,” the
Forrester Consulting study stated.
The study also found key additional benefits around CA API
Management:
- Financial value: The three-year,
risk-adjusted analysis showed a 275 percent ROI and a payback
period of 12 months.
- Improved productivity: The
average time required to create API policies decreased from 8 hours
to 20 minutes (96%), improving the productivity of the API
architect.
- Easier maintenance: With CA API
Management, customers received easier ongoing policy maintenance
and support, requiring only 50% of the time as before because of
better tools.
- New revenue streams: Some
customers could increase ROI an additional 70 percent if they are
using CA API Management to open up data and monetize APIs.
