What is API?

API (Application Programming Interface) is a procedure and protocol that has the function of integrating software applications. It enables an increased flexibility in the design phase of new tools as well as a fast and simplified management of those already in use.

For companies, API represents a big opportunity for innovation and streamlining of procedures thanks to its nature of connecting new software to enrich an already composite structure bringing together, for example, an app with a business management software.

It is a great catalyst for development, above all in the creation of apps that give support to pre-existing architectures. Companies can find within an API, an excellent expedient to keep up with the pace of the digital evolution and services and break away more quickly from competitors by taking advantage of native clouds.
