100 Million Reasons to Fast Track Your Move to Drupal maintenance support plans 8
We are in the midst of a data revolution. Every website, marketplace, phone and sensor on a machine and every wearable on your person is collecting data every minute of every day. Last year Google used 100 million gigabytes of disk space just to index an estimated 30 trillion surface web pages. The trend toward code as a commodity and data becoming the real currency of the digital economy started years ago. Today’s winners are organizations that can master the ability to effectively access, parse, target and distribute data. Doing so is both the great challenge and promise of the digital economy.
The most significant factor in the distribution and commercialization of data has been the reimagining of the API (Application Programming Interface) and their rapid proliferation. Modern APIs enable organizations to collect, compute and monetize data, pivot and build cost effective customer centered product and service iterations.
“2020 is the year APIs help complete the transformation of organizations into truly digital enterprises.” Tom Smith, Dec. 20, 2020, Integration Zone
As Smith writes in API Trends for 2020, APIs are no longer considered to be separate products and instead will form the core of a platform upon which new development will occur.
Enter Drupal maintenance support plans 8
