Case Study: Robert W. Baird achieves a centralized API catalog and faster time-to-market with Axway Amplify

Driving rapid adoption with a central API catalog and secure self-service consumption

Baird, a Wisconsin-based investment bank and financial services firm, faced rapidly growing demand for data-driven services after expansion and a major merger. With business units building and managing APIs in silos, the company experienced duplicated effort, longer development cycles, limited visibility into ownership and dependencies, and increased security and change-management risk.

Baird adopted Axway’s Amplify API Management Platform to provide a central API catalog, secure self-service consumption and CI/CD integration. The platform gave developers visibility into 400+ APIs used by hundreds of apps, reduced duplication, improved troubleshooting and performance-based API selection, and shortened time to market for new data-driven services.
