Case summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Abacus<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s technological situation presented a series of limitations that affected its capacity for innovation, scalability, and security. The implementation of an API integration platform like Apigee, along with Devoteam\u2019s expertise in Google Cloud<\/a>, allowed Abacus to overcome these challenges and lay the groundwork for secure and sustainable future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the client<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Abacus Cooperativa is a prominent Spanish company with a long history in the education and culture sector. Founded in 1968, Abacus has established itself as a benchmark in the provision of quality educational and cultural products and content, both for individuals and educational institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abacus Cooperativa has over 1 million consumer members, more than 900 employees, and is composed of 5 very different businesses: Abacus Original<\/strong>, the Retail business, with 47 stores distributed throughout the region of Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands. Abacus Educaci\u00f3n<\/strong>, where the businesses most related to the educational sector are grouped, highlighting the production of Steam content. Abacus Media<\/strong>, from where they create and offer the best local journalistic content, thematic magazines, and local media. Abacus Idea<\/strong>, an ambitious audiovisual content project serving families, children, and young people, with the values that define Abacus. And finally Abacus Editorial<\/strong>, where the book imprints that form a reference Editorial model are located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Abacus operated with an integration architecture based on personalised APIs and VPN connections, without a centralised API management platform. This configuration implied that security and monitoring controls were developed individually for each API, which made their management, scalability, and evolution difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
