API Best Practices Blog
Winning with APIs and the Advent of the NFL’s West Coast Offense »

Joe Montana and Bill Walsh made it legendary in the 1980s, and today The West Coast Offense still stands as one of the most successful and innovative strategies in the history of football. We've talked about what football has to do with APIs on the blog before. On January 27th at 11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm PT, we're holding a free webinar in partnership with Credera to explore this topic more.
The West Coast Offense leveraged existing assets in new ways to bring its players fame and fortune, much like today's retail and ecommerce companies are innovating to win with APIs. This webinar will give an introduction to using APIs to reach new channels and device platforms, generate revenue through partnerships, stimulate third-party innovation, super-charge affiliate strategies and succeed in the new mobile, multichannel web. And of course - what football has to do with it all. You can register here.
