The pandemic saw the world rapidly pivot to mass remote working, forcing many companies to accelerate their digital transformation efforts. The result has been businesses facing an increasingly prevalent pain point in their operations — integrating and automating workflows, which calls for API led connectivity. The 2010s saw the rise of an API-led approach as a central pillar of digital infrastructure, along with the industry’s embrace of SaaS.
