In the last decade, offices and workplaces of all types have undergone digital transformation, moving away from traditional, paper-based systems to cloud and SaaS programs. The “Digital Revolution” has been, in some ways, just as transformative as the more famous Industrial Revolution that proved to be the foundation of the global economy in the 20th century.

The last two years have seen unprecedented disruption and upheaval, the kind that we never thought we’d witness in peacetime. The Covid-19 pandemic brought air travel to a virtual standstill, changed the way we work, and caused immense tragedy for millions around the globe. And some of these trends will stay with us into the next decade and beyond.

If two concepts could be more aligned in terms of growth - you’d be hard-pressed to find a better match between APIs and e-commerce. Over the past decade, both sectors have enjoyed a surge in growth become integral in the digital era.

As a product manager, you will understand the challenge of bringing together all the elements needed in product development. Managing different teams, each using their own software to develop designs, process data, and other tasks, requires an integrated approach in terms of oversight. And APIs can be your secret tool. 

As a global industry, the automotive sector is bigger than the annual GDP of most countries. At $2.7trn, the giants of the industry have built entire towns to serve their operations. Toyota has a namesake city in recognition of its importance to the area. Wolfsburg in Germany is geared towards a German titan, Volkswagen. 

As parents will know, education has changed radically since our childhoods. While millennials may recall a time when they got reprimanded for bringing a phone to class, tablets are now the norm in classrooms - acting as interactive educational tools.
