Apply best practice
Partner Strategy
If you’re planning your first API development platform, or wishing your current one achieved its goals (more partners, more revenue, easier operations), consider the Scale Your Partner Strategy Workshop.
This workshop shows you how to create your partner roadmap, ideal partner profile and implementation approach. You’ll learn what partners want in your API / platform. How to recover the investment in your current platform with the minimum of effort and time. And how to avoid mistakes.
So that you’ll have an implementation roadmap that includes market attractiveness, proof points, key capabilities, stakeholder engagement, and risk/compliance requirements.
API Maturity assessment
Benchmark your platform capability to understand where to focus improvements to achieve best practice.
We assess your partner strategy, processes, technology stack and team skills across five dimensions:
- Business alignment
- Business value measurement
- Partner enablement
- Communications
- API lifecycle management
We provide actionable recommendations to guide your capability roadmap.
Process excellence
We help you implement best practice standards, policies and processes for:
- Partner and developer onboarding
- Measuring business value
- Managing the API lifecycle, from defining, creating, publishing, maintaining and retiring
- Platform engineering
- Partner and developer community outreach
Risk Management
Embracing new opportunities requires balancing agility with robustness, implementing guardrails to ensure continuity of operations, safeguarding your company’s and customers’ assets, and complying with regulations.
Businesses have rapidly digitised their customer engagement, operations, and linkages with partners and suppliers. While this has created opportunities, they have also exposed vulnerabilities, increasing the "cyber attack surface” for bad actors to exploit.
We show you how to balance agility and robustness, so that Risk is an accelerator for your business and not a handbrake.
Extend your reach
Partner ecosystem
The Scale Your Partner Strategy Workshop gives you a roadmap. We don't stop there. We help you make your partner strategy a reality.
We work with you to take your Ideal Partner Profile, engage potential partners to craft win-win value propositions for you, your partners, and your shared customers.
We apply a step-by-step framework to establishing your partnering capability. We also foster your team's ability to grow and nurture your partner ecosystem.
Developer community
In this highly digitised business environment, developers are increasingly making decisions that can determine whether your services are used. Getting them to use your products and services takes more than simply publishing an API and "throwing it over the wall".
We help you engage your developer community so they understand what your services are, how they help developers achieve their goals, and how to effectively use them.
Events
Events are a great way to find and engage your target customers and partners.
We help you communicate with your audience through in-person and online conferences, workshops, roundtables and meetups.
Our community comprises technology professionals at all levels:
- CIO/CTO/CDO/COO
- VP Engineering & Application Development
- Enterprise Architects, Program Managers
- Solution Architects, Developers, Engineers
