PDN Myth vs Reality

Internal and ExternalNo difference between and Internal only program and an Internal, partner, client, and open program

Agenda

API as a Product refers to the need of product like packaging and supportAPI ProductPDN is a program built on processes, workflows, and toolsProgram

Value of PDN is recognized with you look at a central vs. decentralized approach.Value

PDN is a solution that we can use to address several challenges and opportunitiesOpportunityThis is all great but where are we going.Next StepsPDN is a program but team makes it successfulTeam

API as a Product

API as a Product

obscure piece of Programming,powerful piece of Technology, powerful business Tool

Marketing and PromotionPeople and teasm have to know the API exists before it can be used

1Location and InformationThere has to be a single place to find information about and accessing the API.

2Grouping and VersioningAPIs need to be grouped like functionality in a product and versioned so the latest is obvious

3SupportJust as a product needs support in the form of a helpdesk, APIs need support in a very similar fashion

Consumer & Publisher Onboarding

Onboarding, Education, and Self Service

AccessAccess to PDN and APIs must be automated and timely.

1Documentation APIs must be well documented and easily understand

2Code SamplesA picture is worth a thousands words. A sample is worth a thousands tries

3Sample AppsDemonstrate how multiple APIs interact with one another and demonstrate reuse

16Onboarding and Education

Support for Publishers, Consumers, Partners and the Company as a whole the printing

ConsumersDevelopers, teams, and laypeople who want to understand and use the APIs

1Publishers Teams who create APIs

2PartnersDifferent divisions, 3rd parties and/or clients

3CompanyThe combination of all 3 make the program a success.

Support comes in many forms. There is a natural cycle of learning about a suite of APIs, sharing this expertize, identifying areas that are difficult to understand and simplifying.

Challenges and Opportunities

20Challenges and Opportunities

We have a unique opportunity to take advantage of the PDN by cataloguing all APIs to insulate Pearson from security holes, lose of domain knowledge, and take advantage of the newly evolving next generation of technologies0102040503APIs Everywhere Losing KnowledgeInformedNext Gen is NowOnePearsonAPIs are all over Pearson, unknown and undocumentedAs we lose people, we lose their associated knowledge of technology.We are unaware as an organization of many technical capabilitiesPerfect opportunity to add APIs to the PDN as they are developed rather than afterwardsStraightforward and simple way to achieve OnePearson
