Web Service Virtualization: Creating Business Value from W2 APIs

Scott Regan's RIA Session at AJAXWorld, March 18-20, in New York City

As Web 2.0 drives ‘atomization’ of the Web, APIs become critical to distribution and revenue. But looking beyond free API distribution - how do you turn your APIs (features) for new channels, products, and revenue? How do you ink “for pay” API, priority partner, and OEM syndication deals without killing your development team with repeated ‘one off’ coding of business and operational terms for each new non-tail API use? Web service virtualization provides a separate layer that isolates business and operational rules, enabling you to quickly configure virtual Web services that proxy your API to enforce business and operational policies.

Speaker Bio: Scott Regan is director of product management at Sonoa Systems. Scott comes to Sonoa from Yahoo! where he was responsible for Maps and Local Search. He was previously responsible for developer relations and product marketing at BEA, and is a former product manager with Microsoft's Visual Studio team.
