API Hour: A fresh look at taking control of legacy
Description changed:
Join us in Digital Leaders Week (12-16 October) for APIs Revisited, a series of non-technical online events encouraging you to look again at APIs and the transformative role they could play at your organisation.
Every day, 3pm–4pm will be ‘API Hour’!
//About this talk//
Legacy systems present problems. Their ageing technology can struggle to support the latest business, user and regulatory demands. The risk and cost of changing them eventually overwhelms decision making, with viable options to extend them seemingly reducing. While APIs have become a trusted approach to tackling the legacy problem, all too often the true value and benefit of APIs becomes lost as other factors are prioritised.
Richard Edwin, Principal Consultant at Scott Logic, will consider in this session how legacy dictates our view of APIs and explore how, with a fresh perspective, we can maintain focus on recognising the full value of APIs in achieving control of legacy.
