DataScan Builds an Application Network to Future-Proof

API-led connectivity, a modern approach to connecting data and applications through a series of reusable APIs, will allow DataScan to unlock systems without losing security or control. This approach will enable DataScan to gain greater flexibility to customize user interfaces, integrate third-party vendors, and increase the speed at which the company is able to launch new digital and mobile channels. By making applications, data and devices pluggable and reusable, DataScan is building an application network to drive innovation and agility at scale, launch new products, increase revenue opportunities, and improve the customer experience.
