"SOA Software is a leader in the API industry, so we’re very pleased to welcome them as a partner as Elastic Path innovates around the API Economy and ecommerce API solutions," said Harry Chemko, CEO of Elastic Path. "The explosion of mobile and connected devices is driving unprecedented demand for API strategies and enabling technologies," Chemko said. "This partnership uniquely positions us to deliver rapid commerce solutions to monetize goods and content across every
touchpoint."

APIs are emerging as a strategic business and technology capability, empowering business to package and license their products and services for easy mobile consumption, while enabling IT to securely externalize existing applications and services. APIs provide an easy way for businesses to combine and share application functionality. To users, this interaction among applications and APIs is seamless and invisible, but enables them to perform commerce, content and communication transactions.

This combination of a commerce engine with an API development and management platform means that organizations can quickly build new channels and create business opportunities for the products and services they sell online. Both SOA Software and Elastic Path have been named by leading analyst firms for their respective areas, and the combination of their innovative products provides the most comprehensive online commerce solution for the API Economy.

The SOA Software solution provides a unique platform for driving developer engagement, and encourages adoption of APIs to enable richer application functionality. The solution provides social capabilities, and rich Gateway services including broad support for API security standards, service integration for constructing APIs from existing services and assets, lifecycle management, and analytics. SOA Software’s API Management solution includes Community Manager, API Gateway and Lifecycle Manager. These components are deeply integrated and available both in the cloud and on-premise.
