Cloud & API Integration

Connecting the systems your business already relies on, so they work together instead of in isolation.

What APIs do

Letting different systems talk to each other.

An API is a defined way for one piece of software to interact with another. The web runs on this idea — it's how one site can pull in information from another so the end result feels like a single, seamless experience.

A real estate company that wants an interactive map of its listings doesn't need to build a mapping engine from scratch. It connects to a service like Google Maps through an API and has a working map in a fraction of the time. The same idea is behind how a travel booking site can pull together flights, hotels, and rental cars from several different companies in one place.

Why it's worth it

Build once, work everywhere.

Good APIs are cross-platform by nature. Build the connection once, and an iPhone, an Android phone, and a desktop browser can all use it the same way — no separate version needed for each. That means less code to maintain and a consistent experience no matter how someone reaches your business.

It also opens the door for other businesses to connect with you. Instead of building a custom integration for every partner, you build one API that any of them can plug into.

Common reasons to integrate

When this usually comes up.

  • Connect to cloud-based applications and services
  • Build a custom solution that doesn't already exist on the market
  • Access data or systems from older, existing platforms
  • Unify connectivity between separate applications
  • Expand your services into new markets
  • Bring your application to mobile
  • Grow sales through partners and platforms
  • Develop new business solutions on top of existing data
