Case Study: Aareon secures and modernizes its API ecosystem with Kong

Aareon securely opens its API ecosystem with Kong Gateway Enterprise

Aareon, a leading provider of SaaS solutions for the European property industry, sought to modernize its closed-shop environment and open its ecosystem with more APIs for partners and customers. Their challenge was replacing legacy API interfaces with a new gateway technology to reduce manual work, increase security, and accelerate daily business while managing costs. They turned to Kong to find a solution.

By implementing Kong's API management solutions, including Kong Gateway, Aareon successfully refactored its infrastructure to create an open, API-driven environment. The results included the launch of the Aareon Connect platform, which provides customers with easy, app store-like access to products. Kong enabled the automation of deployment pipelines, reduced manual work, and enhanced security through plugins, allowing Aareon to securely scale its API business and accelerate its strategy.
