The $108B API Economy: Why IBM i Futurization is No Longer Optional 

The global API management market is projected to surge from $10.02 billion in 2025 to $108.61 billion by 2033—a tenfold increase reshaping how businesses create value. For IBM i organizations, this explosive growth represents an unprecedented opportunity to transform heritage systems into competitive advantages. Real-world results speak volumes: one banking institution reduced service development time from 8 weeks to 45 minutes while increasing revenue by 23%. Witra Logistics doubled their processing capacity. Kamik built seamless integrations across Amazon, EDI, and their ERP systems. The key? API-enabled futurization that preserves decades of proven business logic while unlocking modern capabilities. With 90% of new enterprise applications incorporating APIs and the market growing at 34.7% annually, IBM i organizations face a critical decision: lead this transformation or watch competitors capture the opportunities.
