9. Enterprise software and IT services will drive
more than a $1 Trillion of spend in 2019.
We all use APIs every day. The demands of digital transformation, and the related need for
platforms and ecosystems, make it essential to manage APIs throughout their life cycle.

10. APIs are the building blocks
of all modern software.

11. APIs form networks of technical, people,
and business relationships.
