DZone Research: API Concerns

#ICYDK: To gather insights on the current and future state of API management, we talked to 17 executives who are using APIs in their own organization, as well as helping clients use APIs to accelerate their digital transformation and the development of quality applications. We asked them “Do you have any concerns regarding the current state of API management?”

Here’s what they told us: https://goo.gl/w2dhvE #DataIntegration #ML

SMS With WSO2 ESB

#ICYMI: 1) Introduction to SMPP and SMSC

SMPP — Short Message Peer to Peer protocol is an open, industry standard protocol designed to provide a flexible data communications interface for transfer of short message data between a Message Center, such as a Short Message Service Centre (SMSC), GSM Unstructured Supplementary Services Data (USSD) Server, or other types of message center and SMS application systems, such as a WAP Proxy Server, Email Gateway, or other messaging gateway. The advantage of supporting SMPP protocol with the Axis2 SMS Transport is that it can be used to send and receive a high volume of short messages very fast. SMPP protocol is an application layer protocol that can be used over TCP. There are many SMPP gateways available in the world, and now almost all the message centers support SMPP.

Use Case 01

There is HTTP SMS API and the user can invoke it with HTTP call with JSON. The API is able to send an SMS for the request number in the JSON request with a message in JSON. https://goo.gl/smBfHV #DataIntegration #ML

Choosing the Right Path to Digital Transformation

As their companies pursue digital transformation, the IT professionals in charge of spearheading these initiatives must assess the barriers legacy technologies place in their path. They know modern data integration and management capabilities are imperative. It isn’t possible to reimagine the way enterprises use technology to deliver value to customers without the ability to securely share data and apply the information streaming in from an expanding array of devices and applications.

But many IT leaders wonder when — and how — to make the shift from technology designed 10, 20, or even 30 years ago to a data integration and management infrastructure built for the modern era. As they contend with technologies like ESB/EDI, MFT, and middleware solutions, they find it increasingly difficult to integrate cloud-based data sources, and eventually, that difficulty impedes the company’s ability to conduct business efficiently and effectively, much less deploy new digital business models and approaches. https://goo.gl/m2ybEF #DataIntegration #ML
