Case Study: DigitalGlobe achieves faster innovation and API-driven revenue with Software AG

Digitalglobe Innovates Faster with Software Ag

DigitalGlobe is a leading provider of high‑resolution Earth imagery and geospatial data used by defense, public safety, environmental monitoring and commercial organizations worldwide. Facing the need to speed development, reduce waste, integrate disparate systems (including post‑merger platforms), and expose imagery via APIs to external developers, the company sought a faster, more reusable “right‑click/add” approach to building services.

Using Software AG’s Digital Business Platform—webMethods Integration, API Management and BPM plus CentraSite and the webMethods API portal—DigitalGlobe automated integration, cataloged services for reuse, and exposed APIs to unlock new revenue. The results included hundreds of development hours saved, faster time‑to‑market, successful integration and decommissioning after the GeoEye merger (ahead of schedule and under budget), improved SLA monitoring and a clear ROI with significant revenue potential from published APIs.
