Open Application Programming Interfaces represent the leading edge of a new business model. TIBCO Software’s new TIBCO API Exchange is a single integrated solution to implement an Open API business strategy to meet the needs of this rapidly evolving market space.
TIBCO API Exchange incorporates a self-service portal that makes it easy for developers and business partners to get started, significantly accelerating the on-boarding process and providing business transparency related to the use of Open APIs in their applications.
The developer portal also provides a fully integrated environment to create, test, document, and publish Open APIs, with support for REST-based API styles, and seamless transformation of data and message formats, such as XML and JSON.
"APIs are foundational technologies for digital businesses in the 21st century," said Matt Quinn, CTO, TIBCO. "TIBCO API Exchange is going to make it simple for enterprise customers to expand their businesses into new revenue and marketing channels."
As companies open up new levels of access to internal data and business functionality through the use of Open APIs, they require solutions that provide advanced security enforcement and threat protection, managing and securing access to their data across broad range of platforms and web-based mobile devices.
TIBCO API Exchange will address this challenge by providing superior security and access-control capabilities, leveraging proven strengths in the area of enterprise-scale, event-based policy management. Examples of policy domains managed by the product include authentication, throttling, content-based message routing, mediation, and message transformation.
