Red Hat Consulting solution: API-centric integration datasheet

Herunterladen

INTRODUCTION

As organizations shift from a centralized integration approach to a distributed approach, self-service becomes a priority. Agile teams need the authority and autonomy to seek out, learn about, test, and exploit services developed inside and outside their company, and a strong application programming interface (API) capability delivers this authority and autonomy to those teams. However, APIs alone do not lead to strong business performance. Strong performance relies on a comprehensive integration strategy—one that also incorporates a broader microservices-based integration and messaging strategy and marries these initiatives to a secure, authorized, and action-oriented API management platform.

RED HAT CONSULTING CAN HELP

Though integration technology delivers clear benefits to an organization, successful adoption requires effective strategy and planning. Red Hat^® Consulting helps organizations efficiently and effectively manage, connect, and scale their business initiatives using Red Hat 3scale API Management, Red Hat^® Fuse, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. Red Hat Consulting uses a clear methodology that gets you off to a good start—quickly.

Agile: Whether you are pursuing a public, private, or hybrid cloud strategy, we work with you to adopt and introduce microservices and automation into your business processes.
