Interconnect API Management Session Recommendations

Brian Silverman, iSOA Group Sales and Marketing Leader

Interconnect 2017 is just around the corner and with so many great session topics, it may be difficult to decide which to attend. With our recent focus on API management, we wanted to share a few API themed recommendations to include in your schedule.

Of course, our CTO, Bryon Kataoka, and Dmitry Dikavitski of CUNA, will conduct a presentation on the migration of DataPower to API Connect (don’t worry, DataPower is inside of the API Connect Enterprise).
