API Sprawl increases risk and complexity<\/h2>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>

Current challenges:<\/h3>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Fragmented APIs<\/h3>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>
\n\t

Large enterprises manage 500+ APIs on average<\/a>, often distributed across teams without consistent governance or ownership<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\n\t
\n\t\t

Limited insight<\/h3>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>
\n\t

Less than 40% of organisations have centralised visibility into API usage<\/a>, performance, and dependencies across the enterprise<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\n\t
\n\t\t

IT security exposure<\/h3>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>
\n\t

APIs have become a primary attack surface<\/a>, with inadequate governance and visibility significantly increasing security and operational risk as API usage scales<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Centralised API management with business process awareness<\/h2>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>
\n\t

Scheer PAS provides a centralised, process aware API management layer that enables enterprises to expose, govern, and orchestrate APIs consistently \u2013 reducing risk, improving transparency, and supporting scalable integration across the IT landscape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\t\t\t
<\/div>1. Centralise API exposure and consumption<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

APIs from ERP systems, cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and legacy environments are exposed and consumed through a unified management layer rather than managed in isolation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
<\/div>\u202f2. Decouple APIs from point-to-point integrations<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

API interactions are orchestrated centrally, separating consumers from backend implementations and reducing tight coupling between systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
<\/div>3. Enforce security and governance policies<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Authentication, authorisation, versioning, and usage policies are applied consistently across APIs, independent of individual systems or development teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
<\/div>4. Orchestrate APIs within business flows<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

APIs are coordinated as part of controlled execution flows, enabling reliable sequencing, error handling, and dependency management across services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
<\/div>5. Monitor API Usage and behaviour end-to-end<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Runtime behaviour, dependencies, and failures are monitored centrally, providing visibility beyond technical metrics into operational impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the largest cable network operators in Switzerland was faced<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with the challenge of introducing a new CRM system. While a cloud<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>solution was chosen for the new CRM, much of the existing IT landscape,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>especially the central ERP system, consisted of\u00a0on-premises<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>solutions. Since strong protection of internal on-premises systems<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is essential for the company, a solution was sought that would<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>securely integrate cloud CRM with on-premises ERP and allow flexible<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>customisation to meet future needs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
