API & Digital Solutions 101
What is an API?
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It’s a piece of software integration that allows two applications to work together to seamlessly interact and exchange information.
Do I need to be technically savvy to set my company up with one of these digital partners?
Not at all! We have a dedicated team to help consult you on what we think is the best fit both technically and from a business standpoint. This will allow you to focus on what you do best: build more client relationships and sell more.
