Being able to scale successful initiatives fast can be your organization's differentiator in today’s digital environment. It’s not easy for technologists though; 50% of IT decision makers say they were unable to complete all the projects they were asked to deliver last year. That’s a significant IT delivery gap to plug.

ADP, one of the largest global HR services providers, was facing significant issues to deliver and maintain agile and lightweight integrations. One of the ways to address this was to launch the Interface Platform Data Exchange project (known as DEX) to expose APIs and connect to 3rd party interfaces, such as time and attendance systems and learning management systems. ADP is focusing on making connectivity to these systems self-service, allowing them to define their integrations on standard API’s, onboard customers quicker, improve customer satisfaction and broaden their integration capabilities for the future.

Watch this webinar to explore:

- Top tips and best practices on scaling API adoption within your organization
- The ways in which ADP are enabling reuse within their organization, through the creation of a Center for Enablement, to simplify future initiatives
- How ADP are using API-led connectivity and MuleSoft to organize their APIs to increase agility

With their unique position at the centre of an organization, Architects can play a pivotal role to usher digital evolution and transformation in-line with business and IT objectives, including the adoption of Agile, DevOps and other disruptive paradigms.

Join Richard Sey, Head of Development Operations (DevOps), Siemens Energy Management, and Mark Daly, Client Architect, MuleSoft, on January 18 at 10am (GMT) for a live webinar as they look at the key role of the Architect in achieving the new IT Operating model. It will cover:

This will be a demo on how to best organize projects when developing multi-tier APIs, and how to best organize the process. This will allow developers to write the most efficient code and reuse the same patterns to be consistent.

We will demo a number of advanced tips and tricks for Mule developers, including:

- how to construct a multi-module Maven project
- conditional imports based on environment
- creating a separate resources project. It's intended to contain resources and - schemas shared across multiple APIs

Creating an API strategy and a DevOps practice have become critical competencies for modern IT teams. When successfully implemented, 94% of IT leaders confirm they can deliver products and services to market faster. In this demo-driven webinar, we'll show where these competencies intersect and how leading organizations are using them to move from concept to production code in weeks instead of months or years.

Attendees will learn how to:

- Design and mock an API enabling a design-first approach
- Implement test driven development in Anypoint Studio with MUnit

In the United States, the Department of Veterans Affairs is responsible for providing healthcare and other services for over 21 million veterans. Currently, veteran data and health records are housed in a variety of distinct, complex systems, each holding discrete records of veteran interactions with military, community, and VA health teams.

The Digital Health Platform (DHP) strategy, developed in partnership with the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), calls for a cloud-based technology platform integrating Veteran data from VA, military and commercial electronic health records (EHRs), applications, devices and wearables to a Veteran’s healthcare team in real-time.

Delivering on their vision required the adoption of a composable architecture, using APIs to abstract away complexity from EHRs into discrete units of business capabilities, represented via microservices. In this webinar, the DHP team will present methodology and technology insights drawn from the public-private collaboration that built the proof-of-concept, and share the role MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform helping enable this vision.

Attendees will learn:

- Why EHRs on their own are insufficient to meet modern interoperability requirements
- How APIs can be used to unlock and orchestrate healthcare data for cloud application consumption
- Why microservices can increase IT agility for both government agencies and private sector companies
- How the Digital Health Platform leverages MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform to improve care delivery for veterans
- What organizations outside healthcare or government can learn from this digital transformation approach

The mandate for applications to change is nothing new. Pushing those changes from design to production in hours, however, is something traditional software delivery models can't handle. DevOps practices have emerged as a viable approach to enabling this speed with quality for increased application performance and better architectures.

In this webinar, we will highlight how DevOps practices and tooling can be applied with Anypoint Platform when implementing and managing an API.

Attendees will learn:

- How (and why) to create a DevOps pipeline with Anypoint Platform
- Setting up a Maven project in Anypoint Studio
- Connecting Mule projects with a Git repository
- Creating automated tests with MUnit and JUnit
- Deploying Mule applications automatically with Jenkins

The emergence of FinTech represents both an influx of new Financial Services industry entrants as well as a fundamental disruption in the banking and FinServ value chain.
