API Management (APIM)

An API gateway on Microsoft Azure designed to centralize access to your APIs—with governance, security controls, versioning and analytics.

Hexonova’s API Management (APIM) service helps you govern, help secure and publish APIs using Azure API Management. We can centralise access through an API gateway with security controls, versioning and analytics to support more consistent, governed consumption by partners and teams, depending on your environment and configuration.

What is API Management?

API Management (APIM) brings together the processes and tools to govern, help secure, publish and monitor APIs. With Azure API Management, you get a managed API gateway that can provide a central entry point for APIs, apply governance policies, support versioning and provide analytics and monitoring capabilities.

Who it’s for

Organisations standardising API access across teams and partners
Leaders in government, healthcare, financial services, education and other sectors with heightened security and governance needs
Technology and product teams building on Microsoft Azure who need API publishing, oversight and security controls

The challenges APIM solves

Disparate API endpoints without a central entry point and centralised security controls
Inconsistent governance and access controls across services
Difficulty managing multiple API versions and change over time
Limited visibility into API usage, performance and security trends

What’s included

We design and deliver an API gateway built on Azure that aligns to your environment and security posture, with the core capabilities your teams and partners need:

Governance: Central policies and controls to manage API usage and access
Security: A central entry point with security controls to help protect backend services
Versioning: Structured management of API versions
Publishing: Consistent, policy-driven API access for internal teams and external partners
Analytics and monitoring: Insight into usage, performance and security to guide decisions
Lifecycle management: Maintain and evolve APIs over time, including transformation where required
