Programme

Opening by Kay Lummitsch with some interaction.

Janssen has evolved from a supplier of classic medicines to a supplier of precision medicine. Precision medicine has the potential to turn science fiction into reality, transforming lives, one person at a time. This new paradigm forced Janssen to link previously ‘stand-alone’ systems and provide completely new services to health care practitioners.   Achieving this required an API First strategy. In this keynote, Werner Lauwers takes you through the steps and choices that have been made. We couldn’t have come this far without an API First mindset.

When it comes to Digital Transformation and APIs, many times we intent to talk about technology and standards only. With many Digital Transformations implemented, at small national enterprises and very large international enterprises, Yenlo experienced the key for success is not the technology.

In this presentation, we unveil the three key success factors, in a smart and pragmatical way, behind the most successful Digital Transformation projects executed by Yenlo. With real-life customer cases like, Ministry of Healthcare Netherlands (GGD, iPaaS), Universitätsklinikum Tübingen Germany (UKT, all about FHIR and Open Healthcare 2.0)), Hanseatic Bank Germany (HB, Open Banking), Mobility Switzerland (MB), Trumpf Germany (TRMP), Boeing United-States (BNG), we illustrate how they became successful with their Digital Transformation including their API-strategy.

Special customer case explained: Ministry of Healthcare Netherlands (GGD), how we build, deliver and operate a complete API & Integration eco-system for the COVID-19 pandemic break-out, including the CoronoCheckApp with QR-code generation, in less than 14 days.

# API Development        

API data delivery models based on REST, OData, and GraphQL hold great promise, but the effort of developing them can be huge and require skill sets which are specific to underlying technologies. Let’s take a look at the challenges, including maintenance, security, and performance, and see how best to address them. Learn how a modern, on-demand data delivery platform, with tag-based security, an advanced query optimizer and a low-code/no-code development environment can accelate and secure your data-centric API initiatives.

#API Management / Gateway

Studies show that 91% of enterprises are using or have plans to use microservices. However, microservices can’t function alone, and many organizations face three major challenges: governance, security, and discoverability. Service mesh, combined with API management, can increase microservices agility by allowing you to centrally manage, scale, secure, and discover any service in any architecture.

# API Management / Gateway

The API economy is becoming more and more ubiquitous as a means of exposing your business’s digital services and assets to your customers. By building a business model around APIs, businesses can rapidly scale up by accessing third-party services and data, or use APIs to transform their own data and services into a platform that encourages others to build upon and use it. This transformation has changed our thinking on how applications should interact with the rest of the IT ecosystem, how we design our services that expose data with each other and how new SaaS applications impact the existing (legacy) IT domain.

So what should an API look like, how should it be designed in order to be a perfect fit for your customers? We’ll talk about it together and discover answers in this session.

# API Designing&Documentation 

API Management used to be focused on production: How to design APIs, how to implement them, how to secure them, and how to manage their consumption on a technical level. However, increasingly the focus is shifting to consumption, because APIs can only create value when they are being used. For this to work best, decoupling production and consumption is an important starting point. After that, marketplaces help to make APIs easy to discover, understand, and consume, thereby increasing the value that those APIs will create. We’ll look at this evolution of API marketplaces and what to look out for in a good marketplace.

In this roundtable, led by Vincent Boucheron, founder of DIAMS, we discuss how to successfully manage Data Sharing initiative(s). Turning your Data into API’s and your neighbors API’s into Data seems to be part of a strong vision. Or is this simply utopic? How can you make your Data Landscape more accessible and interoperable, and, in the end: more actionable? In a world with Business/Data Meshes on one end, and the Regulator on the other, who is accountable?

How to go beyond APIs in your Managed (Open)Data Initiatives? These questions will be debated during the session.

Please join the discussion.

The future is conversational. How businesses communicate with their customers will become increasingly interactive and personal. Standard letters or emails will be replaced with messages delivered to you via myriad digital channels when you want and in the way you want to be spoken to. Symeta-Hybrid is the market leader in transactional communication & direct marketing. To ensure its future it is building a flexible, scalable and secure platform using APIs, EDA and much more. Archers has been part of this journey from the very first day of its inception.

Dive with us into the world of APIs, event-driven architecture and more to get a glimpse of the future at Symeta-Hybrid.

# Event Architecture

The use and abuse of APIs continues to increase. Security professionals have a slew of tools to address this, but as API hacks continue to happen, we need to rethink our approach. Using the OWASP API Security Top 10, we look at different approaches to securing your API-domain through web application firewalls, API-gateways, and dedicated API security platforms. Join this session to learn what to focus on in terms of API-security, ensuring your data is secure and you’re complying with regulation, following API governance best practice by implementing rules and guardrails relating to API standards and security policies for your APIs.

You probably heard that to leverage APIs successfully, you need API governance. But it has a terrible reputation. People don’t like it. It’s complicated. It limits. It slows down. It’s expensive. And in the end, it doesn’t work. And it’s unfortunately true in some places. But what if the problem was not governance but misunderstanding? What exactly is API governance? Why do we need it? What is its real purpose? That’s what we’ll find out in this session. We’ll discover the true nature of API governance, how to make it work, and even maybe make people like it.
