Key Attributes: API and SOA

API and SOA Convergence
API technology focuses on consumption of
enterprise resources
• API Marketing
• Analytics
• Performance
Management
• Developer Engagement
• Cloud Presence
• Monetization
• Traffic Management
SOA technology focuses on production of
enterprise resources
• Enterprise
Integration
• Enterprise Security
• Enterprise
Standardization
• Enterprise Service
Lifecycle
• Enterprise IT Reuse
• Infrastructure
Reliability

Models of Convergence: “A” and “B”
Convergence Model “A”
lets consumption and
production grow
independently of each of
other. Any interaction is ad-
hoc.
Convergence Model “B”
favors consumption over
production. Service
production capabilities
diminish over time.

Convergence “A” and “B” Risks
High cost, overlap, and confusion trying to run
multiple management solutions and multiple
runtime gateways
Loss of critical service consumption and
service production capabilities, hampering
new mobile and digital business strategies
Slow, ongoing and expensive ad-hoc
integrations that offer low quality solutions to
critical consumption and production challenges
Lack of access to critical backend enterprise data
crucial to mobile and cloud enablement
Model A
Model B

Recommended Model of Convergence: “C”
Convergence Model “C” unifies
service consumption and production.
Each area coevolves over time to bring
the strengths of each to the enterprise.
