Even after a full night in Vegas already down, TechEd Day 1 kicked off the morning with a bang for SAP API Management and Gateway.
Björn Goerke, Executive Vice President and Corporate Officer, SAP Product & Innovation Technology led the day with his High-Energy Keynote speech, delivering the message of "One to Infinity", utilizing a unified experience to do anything. He showed how Gateway and API Management come together into a unified product. In case you missed it, you can watch the replay here.
Showing how API Management was a Key component in this unified experience on HCP, in a demo which he was confident enough to deliver live(!), on-stage, he explained how the first step in the experience is exposing services as APIs via the new SAP API Management platform, developed in partnership with Apigee.
To drive home the importance of this partnership, he invited Apigee CEO Chet Kapoor up on-stage to speak about API Management and its role in business.
After talking about the announcement of the Beta release of the Cloud version of SAP API Management, Björn Goerke then demonstrated a real-time business scenario of exposing a service with API Management, designing and creating a full App to consume this data (to read more details about the Beta, see Ning-Jings Blog).
With this energizing introduction to the day, it was no wonder that Product Management Colleagues supporting SAP Gateway and API Management had their hands full through the rest of the day for all the various components that people were clamoring to learn about!
