Telefónica Partners with Apigee on API Management Platform

   The companies said the partnership builds on work Apigee already completed with the BlueVia console. The Apigee API platform aims to serve as the technology foundation for a variety of Telefónica Digital initiatives designed to expand the ecosystem of third-party applications built on its network-based services and assets.

   “We are helping innovative businesses like Telefónica Digital execute on an API-based development model that has already been proven by the Internet titans,” Apigee CEO Chet Kapoor said in a statement. “Telefónica Digital is reaching out to new markets through developer ecosystems. The Apigee Enterprise API management platform reduces the complexity of delivering APIs, drives developer adoption, provides comprehensive analysis and control of API usage, and helps businesses scale as API channels grow.”
