Case Study: ZEISS achieves unified API management and faster digital innovation with Tyk

ZEISS unifies API management across 38,000 employees with Tyk

ZEISS, a global leader in optics and optoelectronics, faced challenges in its digital transformation journey. The company needed an API management platform to standardize its approach, support its MACH architecture, and streamline the onboarding of teams onto its complex cloud-native environment. A key requirement was the ability to transform REST APIs to GraphQL. ZEISS turned to vendor Tyk and its API management platform to address these needs.

Using Tyk’s API Gateway and Universal Data Graph, ZEISS centralized its API management to deliver seamless digital customer journeys across business units. The solution fostered customer loyalty, opened revenue opportunities, and saved internal time and resources through standardization. Tyk provided a framework for API development, decoupled software, and enabled frontend developers to easily fetch data. The vendor's support and tools like Tyk Operator were central to this success, positioning ZEISS to migrate more workloads and further its MACH architecture goals.
