Customers are redefining the shopping experience
• More customer touch points
• Expectations of a brand experience continue to
grow
• Customers start/stop and switch channels at will
Expanding scope of integration projects
• Need broad, universal integration technology
• Integrating the channels– eCommerce, physical
stores, enterprise, mobile
• Integrating across more diverse retail
environments
Innovation enables more flexibility
• Retailers are adopting APIs in order to foster a
culture of third party innovation and ultimately
drive revenue

Example of digital disruptor: Ride-sharing service Uber
• The entire user experience is unified on a mobile
device
• Everything about the service is literally at the
customer’s fingertips
• The service operates with remarkable transparency
• Up front, you know when your car will arrive, what
type of car it is, the driver’s name, how many
miles you have to travel, and the total cost
• The company has eliminated considerable friction
from the process
• For instance, the service is billed automatically to
your credit card—no need to fumble for cash or
even figure out a tip
• The company had a global strategy from day one
• More and more travel is global, and consumers
want to use services they’re familiar with and trust
anywhere in the world they go

 “Everything” is now an API
• APIs make integration easily accessible, easy to consume
 Digital Transformation creates new integration needs
• Shift of focus from provider to consumer
• “Self service” rather than predefined connections
 APIs is a subject for Business, IT and Developers
• Business is concerned with business transformation (API Economy)
• IT is concerned with building a composable enterprise; securely and at
scale
• Developers are interested in innovation and experimentation

“How can I increase the agility
and effectiveness of
delivery?”
• Mostly external

IT Budgets Shifting From CIO to CMO
IDC Predicts CMOs Will Drive $32.3B In
Marketing Technology Spending By 2018
Reaching a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. From 2014 to 2018.
Gartner forecast for worldwide dollar-valued IT spending growth in 2015 - 2.4%,
down from 3.9%
The New Normal
Customer experience was the top
marketing technology investment,
averaged 18% of total marketing
budget in 2014, and is ranked the #1
innovation project for 2015
Gartner – Eye of the Buyer

Public API’s and Hackathons
 Sourcing innovation outside
the company walls
 Crowd sourcing ideas and
talent
 Private or public hackathons
 In many cases extension to
the provision of public APIs
 Rapidly becoming more
mainstream

“This was an exciting opportunity for us and a
first step in engaging the development
community and it had a great turn out.
... In total twelve ideas were presented back to
us, many of which we could take forward to
support our digital marketing efforts on the
George brand.”
– Chris Chalmers, Digital Advertising,
Performance Media Manager, Asda.

Understanding perspectives
“ I’ve spent years getting buy in for the
ESB are you telling me I’ve got to start
again .. ? ”
“Whenever I try to have the
conversation about SLA’s or
governance no one is
listening...”
“I’ve got 3 weeks to get this
prototype in front of the board - I
don’t have time for the pain of
getting IT involved
“ We can build this using open source
technologies and public API’s there’s
no need to comply with any of the
corporate IT mandates
“ On my last project we just
connected to the backend
underlying database – we
can do that again I’m sure..”
“I’m aware of at least 100 different scrum
teams across the company working on
digital apps projects …”

API Management
• Prereqs DataPower
• Exposes API’s (small services
that can be called with a web
request)
• Monitoring (how are my API’s
performing?)
• Permissions (who can access?)
• Monetization / Billing
• Version management
DataPower
• Allows network
endpoints outside the
firewall to securely
connect to network
endpoints inside the
firewall.
• Available in physical
appliance & virtual
forms
Integration Bus
• Acts as a translator:
Enables multiple systems
which speak different
protocols to communicate
• Useful for communicating
w/ existing systems to
easily expose them as
API’s
CastIron
• Syncs data with SaaS apps
• Provides connectors for SaaS
and other services to on-
premises integration

IIB & REST APIs
 Introducing IIB’s new REST API first class construct
– Provides a simple way to receive JSON / HTTP and expose a REST API
– Create a new REST API in the IIB Toolkit
– Drag and drop the REST API to deploy
– Administer REST APIs as a first class IIB construct in the Web UI
 REST API project
– Swagger spec provides a framework
implementation for describing, producing,
consuming, and visualizing RESTful APIs
– It defines a metadata format based on JSON-
schema to describe the REST APIs, their
parameters and the messages which are
exchanged.
– Import Swagger (v2.0) to create the REST API
project
– Original .json files are included (unchanged) in the
project
– REST APIs can utilise Path, Header, and Query
parameters
– As a client of an IIB REST API, use existing
Swagger tools and projects to retrieve Swagger
definitions from IIB

Key Take Aways
 Companies have to transform to become Digital Enterprises
–Digitisation is the future of business and the race starts now
–Digitisation not limited to Systems of Engagement only, SOR needs to
be reengineered to make IT agile and flexible (plug and play)
 IBM Middleware Integration will help you with your transformation journey
–We are investing in the future- expect continuous innovation/delivery
 Technology is only part of the solution
–As important is big picture and understanding of multiple roles
