Digital transformation is not only a buzz word but it’s the commitment to move your business forward with modern technologies. If you don’t keep up, your business will, in essence, become extinct. A key component to modernizing your enterprise is with integration and in particular, APIs. APIs are what connects people and systems to share in something greater.
What could be a better representation of transformation than the fruits of an integrated colony of bees working together to produce honey.
If the Queen bee is digital transformation, the worker bees are all the internal and external people and partners contributing to the goals of the organization. All that work that goes into creating the honeycomb interface that holds their revenue stream, the honey.
I once went to a TedX talk where a birder discusses how nature is a perfect sytem and that many laws of nature can be applied to business. I think we look to the community of bees for integration inspiration.
I hardly think that the hive looking like a database and the word, “apis” ( Latin for “bees”) is a coincidence.
