The webinars will also preview new capabilities in the soon-to-be-released WSO2 API Manager 1.5.

September 24: Managing Business APIs
A good API business model will ensure that users consume an API securely and pay only for what they use.

• Transform Web services, data feed, and external APIs into business APIs
• Manage and monitor various aspects of APIs
• Deliver secure, scalable and controllable business APIs
• Analyze and identify business patterns
