API service portfolio for a financial institution

Challenge

A financial institution requested us to help modernize their operations by offering their APIs to external parties. The goal was to improve their service delivery channel and attract new partners with a holistic suite of digital capabilities.

Solution

What we did to support our client:

  • API market scan: we conducted a benchmark of API portfolios offered by market industry leaders in a similar service segments. With our help, the customer articulated their API strategy and mapped their business offering to the API-based service portfolio.
  • Scoring matrix: we created a scoring matrix that considers potential business value, implementation effort and risks. The model was built so that it can be re-used in different areas of the customer’s company.  
  • API prioritization strategy: we created a prioritized backlog and defined a roadmap by applying the strategy defined and the scoring matrix created to the API Inventory.
