Gartner defines the application programming interface (API) management market as the market for software that supports API life cycle stages such as planning and design, implementation and testing, deployment and operation, and versioning and retirement. Organizations use APIs to modernize their architectures; efficiently integrate systems, services and partners; and create and monetize data and services. API management software enables organizations to discover, design, build, manage and secure APIs, regardless of their size, region or industry. It helps them improve composability, security and business resilience, and accelerate their growth.

'Application integration platforms enable independently designed applications, apps and services to work together. Key capabilities of application integration technologies include: • Communication functionality that reliably moves messages/data among endpoints. • Support for fundamental web and web services standards. • Functionality that dynamically binds consumer and provider endpoints. • Message validation, mapping, transformation and enrichment. • Orchestration. • Support for multiple interaction patterns, content-based routing and typed messages.
A digital integration hub (DIH) is an architectural pattern that centralizes data from various sources to provide a scalable, and real-time layer for modern digital applications, especially beneficial for enterprises looking to transform to digitized sales processes. It aggregates data from multiple systems of record into a low-latency, high-performance data store (the data management layer) which is then accessed by sales force automation (SFA), sales enablement and other tools via APIs or events. It also provides a central layer of abstraction that decouples applications from underlying systems, making it easier to integrate and manage new data sources and applications without disrupting existing systems. DIH provides sales teams with rich and responsive access to massive data sources, limits the fees paid to API providers and helps enable 24/7 operations enhancing customer experience through self service, digital commerce and loyalty.
Gartner defines integration platform as a service (iPaaS) as a vendor-managed cloud service that enables end users to implement integrations between a variety of applications, services and data sources, both internal and external to their organization.
Gartner defines robotic process automation (RPA) as the software to automate tasks within business and IT processes via software scripts that emulate human interaction with the application user interface. RPA enables a manual task to be recorded or programmed into a software script, which users can develop by programming, or by using the RPA platform’s low-code and no-code graphical user interfaces. This script can then be deployed and executed into different runtimes. The runtime executable of the deployed script is referred to as a bot, or robot.
