APIs in the Experience Economy + How to Get Ahead feat. Charles Araujo, Industry Analyst & Author

This week on the API Intersection podcast, we chatted with Charles Araujo, Publisher of The Digital Experience Report, industry analyst, and keynote speaker. Charlie has seen it all, from running large-scale transformation programs to authoring "The Quantum Age of IT: Why Everything You Know About IT is About to Change" to founding the Institute for Digital Transformation. This all makes him the perfect guest to dive into the bigger picture of how API technology is truly changing the world on a large scale. His recent piece for CIO Online explores the experience economy, the ecosystem mandate, and how API design may be the key to competitive advantage. He explains how "to leverage the power of APIs to connect your ecosystem and deliver compelling experiences, and how you need to begin by taking a strategic and proactive view of APIs" to do it right.
