APIs are a key means to secure controlled connections within and across enterprise boundaries. Given APIs can help you drive operational efficiencies, contain costs and build a foundation for platform business models, it is important to ensure that:
- Your APIs align to your overall business strategy
- Your APIs measure up to benchmarked quality standards
- They are built within specific timelines to feed into key, time-bound initiatives
- There is predictability and transparency in how they are built, by when and how much they cost
The Torry Harris API Factory model of implementation is built to address the above. The efficiency of this model has evolved over two decades, based on intimate experiences in crafting enterprise API Strategies.
An API Factory consists of
![]() |
Products and processes that act as the glue between the business and backend assets |
![]() |
A "transformation and governing agent" that addresses business needs in an orderly, prioritized manner |
![]() |
Integration based on the SOA paradigm |
