There is a revolution going on! We are in the midst of the second phase of the digital revolution and it is being fueled by API’s.

API’s provide the access and mapping that allow access to and integration of the myriad of existing and new data sources available today. They do really helpful things like allow Uber to revolutionize the connection of riders to drivers as well as allow for quick, self-service credit decisions by integrating Experian data within Salesforce.com.
