APIs: The Backbone of Retail's Digital Transformation
summary
Claim: APIs are the operational engine that convert retail platforms into revenue-generating embedded business models, demonstrated with a Lightning Automations case where a core and headless enterprise built product catalog APIs, dynamic pricing, e-commerce flows, marketing workflows and AI chatbots, migrated workloads from IBM to Azure and speeds new channel launches. The talk maps six EBM variants plus five APIM steps: align API strategy to business, pick a management platform, publish and monitor APIs, grow developer communities and iterate.
