This post is a reference to one of the articles I curated for the API Magazine. Below is a short intro.
New white paper from Manfred Bortenschlager and Sangeet Paul Choudary: The Unseen Enablers Of Platforms. Check it out!
Manfred Bortenschlager’s insight:
I wrote this article together with Sangeet Paul Choudary (CEO of Platform Thinking Labs) to present the argument that building businesses on platforms with an interaction-first approach can be very effective.
We discuss APIs as the enablers for platforms. APIs open up access to assets that are delivered through platforms.
In the article we discuss how APIs can be leveraged from an internal as well as external perspective and how that can leads to the desired platform economics.
