Case Study: Cambridge Assessment accelerates API development and business value with Apigee

How the Apigee platform accelerated development time for global assessment

Cambridge Assessment, a major global assessment organization under the University of Cambridge, faced the challenge of managing its growing digital information and evolving assessment services. Their goal was to increase efficiency, better serve customers, and open new revenue streams through a more effective API strategy, requiring a platform with powerful management tools and the ability to handle significant traffic surges.

By implementing the Apigee API platform on-premise, Cambridge Assessment accelerated development and securely provided API access. The results were significant, including building a set of APIs in one month that saved £50,000 by reducing development time by three months. Apigee also enabled the creation of internal tools like a chatbot for room booking and gracefully handles enormous, sudden peaks in traffic when exam results are released.
