In 2013,  SaaS, Mobile and Big Data (the ‘Big 3’) have moved on from visionary ideas well into disruptive realities impacting IT.  IT is no longer in denial, as they were for much of the last decade, and in fact are “leaning in” on all fronts.  According to CIO Magazine’s 2013 CIO survey, more IT organizations are focusing on building better relationships with the lines of business, and are raising their game and engagement into LOB projects, particularly around SaaS selection, implementation, and integration.

As you probably know, Box.com released a new API last december. And as you also probably know, we’re old fans of everything Box (you might remember prior posts about how to move Salesforce files into Box and how to move your Facebook pics to Box). That’s why when we heard about this new API we couldn’t wait to start playing with it, so that now we proudly announce the new Box Connector v2.0!

This is the most exciting time to be in the enterprise.  When I started my career, I was usually asked to integrate to two types of applications: large legacy mainframe systems that had a team of ‘experts’ acting as gatekeepers and horribly customised enterprise applications that frankly nobody wanted to touch without a team of ‘experts’ to blame if things broke. There was nothing glamorous about my chosen vocation, yet I loved it.  I wanted to figure out how to make these applications to better work together.

Hello There! If you remember a couple of months back we started a series regarding the Google Cloud Connectors Suite. In the first post we introduced the suite, took a look at how to install the connectors in Studio and built a very simple yet cool iApp that takes contacts from a Google Spreadsheet and turns them into Salesforce contacts, Google Contacts, Google Calendar Events and Tasks.  Then on the second post we gave some quick code examples of common usage on the connectors.

Recently ESPN opened up their treasure trove of data to the developer community by releasing an API.

It looks great, well documented, REST based, intuitive.  There’s also some useful tools around the API like a few helper methods that return the data required for making use of their advertised capabilities and a useful ‘health status‘ site.

So utilizing the Mule Devkit the possibility of combining our favorite integration engine (i.e. Mule) with a little sporting statistics was very enticing.

Now before we get started let’s look at what do we have here:

Refusing to rest on our laurels, we’re making the 2013 Summits even better.

We are seeing a lot of traction in enterprises as they adapt towards new business models, enabled through APIs. I am at the API Strategy conference in New York City today, and will speaking in the “Enterprise API” session about how enterprises are adopting APIs to create value. To this point, I came across an announcement today of how Visa, the company we all know through our credit cards, is embarking on the journey of transforming itself into a new enterprise as evident by their latest announcement around their Partner Program. This program paves the way for mobile device manufacturers, technology partners, mobile network operators, and others, to easily navigate the complexities of the payments ecosystem, and to gain access to Visa IP, licenses and best practices, all through their API.   This is a pretty clear indicator that even the most established businesses are feeling the pressure of newer innovative companies eating into their businesses.  For the enterprise, APIs are rapidly becoming the way to survive and compete in a rapidly changing landscape.
