Case Study: AthenaHealth Inc. achieves marketplace growth and lower healthcare IT costs with TIBCO Cloud™ Mashery

Athenahealth Disrupts the Healthcare IT Status Quo with APIs

AthenaHealth Inc. set out to disrupt healthcare IT by opening its infrastructure through APIs and building a marketplace that would attract developers, reduce legacy-system burdens, and lower costs for healthcare providers. To make this happen, AthenaHealth Inc. chose TIBCO Cloud™ Mashery to support API management, onboarding, authentication, documentation, and partner testing.

TIBCO Cloud™ Mashery helped AthenaHealth Inc. launch its Marketplace quickly and scale it to more than 180 partners, with over 200 API keys in production. The platform supported a 245% increase in API calls over 18 months—from 42 million to 145 million—and eventually more than 500 million API calls per month, while also reducing internal maintenance, portal, and interface costs.
