Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are more than just connectors to banks and ERPs. APIs enable the interconnection of multiple financial applications, workflows, and datasets, leading to rapidly customized systems for a more efficient financial process.

Rather than leaving APIs to IT, forward-thinking CFOs, treasurers and finance leaders are learning more about how they work, and where they can enable better decision-making. This playbook covers everything leaders need to know about APIs, including creating efficiencies like: 

• Unifying data in real-time to enable data-driven decision making
• Integrating new apps and data into existing workflows using open API platforms
• Creating a single ‘data lake’ or ‘data warehouse’ that brings together databases from multiple sources
