Why you should be an API-first company?

[kinlane]

These are the current bullets used to articulate why you should be an API-first company:

• You are now moving forward with a well-planned and evolving strategy for your operations.
• There is always reuse and optimization of APIs across many different applications.
• You know where all of your digital resources and capabilities are across your teams.
• There is a proven process for making APIs available externally to partners and the public.
• There are a few errors and support tickets from team members and consumers across APIs.
• There are fewer vulnerabilities and security breaches present across your operations.
• Teams are able to accomplish more as part of their regular work in collaborative workspaces.
• Teams are able to deliver newer high-quality products and features in a much shorter time.
• Dashboards exist to understand the health and activity across all APIs that are in production.
• You are able to consistently move APIs forward at scale, no matter which team is behind.
• APIs are always consistent with organizational and industry standards that are already in use.
• Because regulation will become less of a challenge, and much easier to respond to.
• There is more time for teams to innovate in the development of products and processes.
