6. Boomi Proprietary and Confidential - Not for External Distribution 5 Dynamic Discovery Problem/Opportunity Dynamic Discovery These organizations need a way of dynamically discovering and tracking their APIs, as well as automatically assessing their purpose and quality. AI can help provide this efficiently, effectively and non-intrusively. API Sprawl Mature enterprises have a proliferation of APIs spread across their own on prem environments, in their public cloud spaces, and across third party SaaS offerings. Often, they don’t even know about all the APIs. Needed Capability
7. Boomi Proprietary and Confidential - Not for External Distribution 6 Digital Asset Governance Digital Asset Governance Bring the goodness of API management to other digital assets. Use AI to find the common ground between assets (semantics, context), apply universal policies, plug into all platforms, protocols, patterns. Ecosystem Heterogeneity RESTful APIs have been used extensively to package business capabilities for composable business, but other “packaging” requires similar treatment: new API protocols, events, data products, functions, processes. Problem/Opportunity Needed Capability
8. Boomi Proprietary and Confidential - Not for External Distribution 7 API Consumer Management API Consumer Management API management has been historically biased toward provider functions. AI-infused capabilities can help API consumers find APIs, manage risk and cost in consuming them, and controlling access and usage. API Consumption Boom Consumption of third party APIs was already growing, but the AI boom will lead to an explosion of new API consumption. New API issues will be amplified from data privacy to AI ethics to consumption cost overruns. Problem/Opportunity Needed Capability
9. Boomi Proprietary and Confidential - Not for External Distribution 8 Multi-User Experience Multi-User Experience API management solutions need to cater to multiple personas and structures for both providers and consumers. AI can be used to lower the barrier to entry for non-tech roles and federate administration. Organizational Complexity Enterprises are shifting their org structures from one centralized IT group to product orgs and fusion teams. At the same time, the roles involved in consuming APIs are broadening beyond just developers. Problem/Opportunity Needed Capability
