APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are at the core of digital transformation, enabling businesses to seamlessly connect systems, automate processes, and enhance customer experiences. The traditional approach to API development often demands significant time and expertise, making it a barrier rather than a catalyst for innovation.
“70% of enterprise applications rely on low-code/no-code technologies, signaling a shift toward easier, more accessible integration methods.” (Gartner 2021)
Yet many organizations continue to depend on code-heavy API models that demand extensive development resources, hindering their ability to scale efficiently. For enterprises running disparate systems, this challenge is even greater, as outdated infrastructure often creates significant roadblocks to modern integration. Without a more streamlined approach, companies face rising IT costs, operational delays, and missed opportunities to evolve.
Common Solutions and Their Drawbacks
To address API challenges, many organizations turn to traditional API development tools that still rely heavily on manual coding. These platforms provide some automation but still require skilled developers to write, configure, and maintain APIs, resulting in persistent challenges and resource constraints.
One of the biggest drawbacks of this approach is cost. Skilled API developers are expensive and maintaining integrations requires continuous investment. Custom API development can also take weeks or months, delaying business initiatives and limiting agility. Since these solutions are often highly technical, business users must depend on IT for every API modification, slowing down digital transformation. According to the Postman 2024 State of the API Report, 55% of organizations say API complexity is a top challenge, with growing dependencies on IT teams slowing down development and integration efforts.
Adaptigent’s Advantage: No-Code/Low-Code API Orchestration
Adaptigent removes the complexity of API development by allowing users to build, modify, and deploy APIs without coding. Our no-code/low-code orchestration platform gives both IT teams and business users the ability to integrate systems faster, without costly development cycles.
Businesses can launch APIs in days rather than months, cutting both costs and IT dependencies. Instead of relying on developers for every change, non-technical users can manage integrations through an intuitive interface, ensuring faster, more scalable digital transformation. For organizations using legacy systems, Adaptigent seamlessly connects modern applications with mainframes without the need for expensive reengineering or system replacements.
