How to Sell the Kong API Platform to Your CIO

What makes an API platform initiative successful? One key ingredient is top-down, business-level, and executive buy-in — specifically from the CIO — to go from 50 to 100. Without this buy-in, the API platform can't drive maximum value for both technical and business teams.

In short, you need to be able to get buy in on Kong — and the concept of an API platform itself — from your CIO.

In this eBook, we address:

  • What strategic initiatives CIOs we talk to typically care about most
  • How APIs factor into these — and the API platform puts your APIs in the best position to drive these strategic initiatives 
  • Why Kong is the best API platform for the forward-looking CIO
Powering the API world
