‘I Love APIs 2015’ will be the world’s largest networking and training event dedicated to APIs and digital business with three forums dedicated to developers, IT experts, and strategists. It is gearing up to be the largest digital event of the year with more tracks, sessions, hands-on workshops, and IoT exhibits than ever before.
After initiating the strategic partnership with Apigee last year, SAP delivered API management on-premise solution based on the Apigee Edge intelligent API management platform.

SAP will demonstrate these solutions at the SAP Exhibit area at ‘I Love APIs 2015’ conference.
