That Digital Show

To drive modernization and innovation, enterprises are increasingly adopting API-first approaches to connecting services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. APIs and Clouds are everywhere today and hybrid API management gives you the flexibility to deploy your API runtimes anywhere that meets your business needs. In this episode, we are joined by Parna Bhattacharya, Head of Customer Success in APAC and Bala Kasiviswanathan, Director of Product Management, to discuss how enterprises are increasingly adopting an API-First strategy that connects services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments to help develop consumer experiences faster.

APIs are meant to enable transactional business activity without prior restraint, and they are major tools for innovation and experimentation. APIs save businesses money and provide new levels of business agility through reusability and consistency. These very characteristics ultimately make the task of governance easier. This should come as welcome news to those in charge of governance and compliance who are concerned with the proliferation of partners, apps, and devices common in today's enterprise. In this episode, the show welcomes Rob Parker-Cole and Andy Withers, Digital Transformation Leads from Google London, to discuss how enterprises can reach market faster through API governance.

In our digital-first world, companies require immediate access to cost-effective, customizable apps. Throwing vast amounts of resources into custom software production doesn't always yield positive results. As an alternative option, many companies are embracing no-code development, a methodology that enables software creation that does not require coding. No-code development fuels lean projects with faster times to market, improved productivity, and tremendous cost savings. In this episode, Praveen Seshadri from AppSheet and Vikas Anand, Head of Product Management for No-Code at Google Cloud share how a no-code platform can help organizations enable innovation everywhere.

Healthcare providers' access to real-time, unified healthcare data is critical—and every second matters.

In the last few months, the industry has laid the foundation for progress with final rules issued by CMS and ONC, implementing key provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act. Today, healthcare organizations are in dire need of easy-to-use technology that supports health information exchange. In this episode we are joined by Google Cloud's Carol Crowe - Healthcare lead for API Programs, Dharmesh Patel - Healthcare Solutions Manager, and Andy Crowne - Product Lead for Health Plan Data Interoperability, to discuss how the healthcare industry is navigating these changes, and how patients will soon benefit from new digital services.

API consumption metrics help enterprises align their workforces around digital best practices, understand changing user behavior, derive actionable intelligence, and drive business results. Because APIs are at the heart of digital business interactions, enterprises should embrace metrics rooted in API consumption patterns. Traditional enterprise ROI metrics assume certain conditions—e.g., long payback periods and predictable patterns around transaction volume and pricing strength. Digital business operates under different conditions, such as shorter opportunity windows and more fragmented customer segments, that require different metrics. In this episode, Google Cloud's Chris Vogel sits down with value advisors Warren Chuei and Alicia Paterson to discuss how to start tracking key performance indicators for APIs and the strategies businesses need to be aware of to grow business value.
