With MuleSoft, CIOs are able to decentralize IT and empower the business to deliver new revenue channels, increase operational efficiency and create differentiated customer experiences. The Forrester study reveals that MuleSoft helps shift its customers’ approach to API creation and integration, enabling organizations to accelerate their speed of delivery and internal agility through API-led connectivity and reuse. Every time an API is reused, it increases productivity and saves time and resources that can be put to work elsewhere. By aligning development teams on an API-led connectivity approach, a strong bank of reusable, externalizable technical components, capabilities and services will grow into a powerful application network that the rest of the business can consume.” data-reactid=”25″>API-led connectivity drives millions of dollars in benefits for the business

With Anypoint Platform, customers found a significant improvement in their reuse rate of APIs, quadrupling the number of projects worked on over three years. Examples of other benefits for a composite organization over three years include:

$4.2 million increase in API reuse value through Anypoint Platform, which includes increased reuse rate and time savings from project efficiencies;
More than $1 million in time savings toward building new APIs;
At least $740,000 incremental revenue from the platform’s contributions to various projects; and
90% less time spent on maintaining APIs and integrations, allowing time to be reinvested in innovation

A director of enterprise application integration services at a healthcare company, a customer interviewed for the Forrester TEI study, commented on Anypoint Platform’s single view of all APIs and integrations: “Our ability to proactively monitor APIs reused across projects with Anypoint Platform’s alerting capabilities has led to a 30% reduction in issues related to integrations and API usage. That’s significant for us as we have a relatively small-sized team and we need to stay efficient.”

Prior to implementing Anypoint Platform, the interviewed organizations considered several solutions for API development and management as well as integration. Instead of needing multiple solutions, they chose Anypoint Platform to deliver both full lifecycle API management and integration platform as a service (iPaaS) on a single runtime, allowing customers to consolidate the number of integration technologies and applications used. The result is more than $1.6 million in savings from reduced maintenance of APIs, integrations and retired technologies.” data-reactid=”33″>MuleSoft brings the power of APIs and integrations into one unified platform

According to the vice president and director of architecture and strategy at a financial services business, another customer interviewed for the Forrester TEI study: “What puts Anypoint Platform at the top is that it has API development features built on an integration platform, so it’s not just pure API management. We build a lot of applications to meet client needs and it helps that we can build APIs and conduct integrations in a scalable way, but we don’t have to rewrite customized code or take more development hours because of its ease of integration.”
