	SOA Software Enables Enterprise APIs for Business Partner and Employee Applications SOA Software has added extensive enterprise API capabilities to its SOA Software Atmosphere™ product family to enable business to employee and business to business applications. Enterprises are increasingly making business applications available as APIs in order to drive business growth and expose new revenue and partnership opportunities, and ultimately to improve business efficiency.

Enterprise APIs are offered to a more limited group to enable more sensitive B2B or B2E (employee) applications. Both enterprise and open APIs are typically built on a foundation of enterprise SOA services, taking these services and productizing them with documentation, support, access provisioning, quality-of-service (QoS) management and other API-centric capabilities. Enterprise APIs introduce additional requirements to ensure the security and privacy of the API and the capabilities and data they expose. Read More

Still, so far we have not experienced a "game changer," a Hindenberg-like moment where nothing will ever be the same. That said, we need to stay starkly aware that the… Continue reading --> RESTing Easy - Securing the Most Popular API Delivery Platform By Roberto Medrano September 13, 2012 More often than not, with simplicity comes greater risk. Making platforms more user-friendly tends to make them more easily compromised by system breaches, by virtue of the fact that there are more elements instituted - precisely to make an interface more readily embraced by a wider network - through which attacks can occur or software/hardware…Continue reading --> Future Trends of Popularizing API Use By Roberto Medrano September 10, 2012 Things are always obvious in retrospect.
