July 10

Government organizations at all levels are focusing on modernization and digital transformation efforts. Many agencies have chosen what is seen as a safe modernization route and an approach with a faster return on investment: using an Application Programming Interface (API). APIs allow data sharing across multiple agencies and organizations—think of them as a way to exchange information without granting access to the entire dataset.

To deliver the highest-quality APIs, Business and IT teams first need to consider an effective API lifecycle management strategy.

Join Government Technology, Red Hat, and TD SYNNEX Public Sector for a live webinar where you’ll learn how to master every step of the API lifecycle management.
