Cenit IO - API Economy

Cenit IO Open Platform for Data and Business Integration

The API EconomyA general term that describes the way APIs can positively affect an organization's profitability.

Cenit IO aims to make easy for developers to consume and compose new APIs from existing ones.

Developer-driven adoptionThe absence of a formal specification

devalues an API from the developer’s

perspective

Despite their exponential growth,

APIs' potential is not exploited at its

best.
