How API Enablement Drives Legacy Modernization
- 1. Narayanan Chathanur Director, API and Microservices, Infosys Limited Be More. Do More. Unlock Value. Deliver Innovation
- 2. Market forces are transforming large enterprises… 2 …and technology is at the core of this shift. Disintermediation of value chain New business models Digital vs. physical Entry barriers Nontraditional competitors
- 3. Renewing the core is equally important API-led legacy modernization Enterprise process centers Policy externalization ? BPO digitization Fast apps platform 3
- 4. Legacy modernization in the digital age. Why it matters? Growth of APIs since 200713x 43% Of IT executives believe a failure to integrate with legacy systems is the biggest barrier to implement future initiatives. 70% IT maintenance cost of the total IT budget increased because information was available in silos 39% Of overall software reuse within organizations after enabling service APIs api2cart 5 Bn Number of calls received by Google daily – served by API Enablement Number of calls served by Facebook daily 4
- 5. Industry challenges demanding API enablement of legacy systems Banking platforms • Rising customer expectations • Omnichannel and personalized engagements • Increase in mobile app transactions • Platforms need to cater to increasing services, channels, and products • Innovation from nonbank services and fintechs adding new source of competition Retail supply chain • Deep integration of customer experience across channels and systems for greater impact • Streamline access to internal systems for a personalized and engaging customer experience • Manage growth for dynamic and high-traffic events such as Black Friday holiday shopping Quantified healthcare • Requirements for health data interoperability • Regulation change, technology advancement, and consumer expectations • Focus on payment for outcomes instead of for services requires new business models Media • Media content must be delivered seamlessly from disparate sources and formats • Digital native non-industry upstarts seek to disintermediate established companies • Supporting the never-ending stream of new devices slows innovation 5
- 6. So what is holding organizations back? How to handle the monolithic code? How to bring agility? How to expose Z assets to mobile world? Is it possible to reuse existing SOA modules? Will it handle load in peak hours? Digital enablement of mainframe. Will it be a success? How to ensure security and governance? Typical Patterns: • Spaghetti application • SOA-based applications • Storedprocs for direct data access: 6
