Axway (Euronext: AXW.PA), a leading provider of API management and integration software, is proud to announce that it has been positioned as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: API Management Software, Q3 2024, published on July 1, 2024.¹

“We are always honored when our customers share the positive experiences and outcomes they have had with Axway,” said Vince Padua, Chief Product Officer at Axway. “We’re invested in their success, providing the expertise and guidance needed to treat APIs as strategic business products.”

Axway was one of 15 select companies that Forrester invited to participate in its evaluation, The Forrester Wave: API Management Software, Q3 2024. In this evaluation of its Amplify API Management, Axway earned the highest scores possible in seven evaluation criteria, including federated gateway management, API product management, and adoption.

“This recognition validates for us our unique API business strategy program, which is just one example of how we go above and beyond to ensure you extract maximum value from API investments. We empower organizations with universal API management tools that break down barriers and provide a single source of truth for the entire API landscape,” said Padua.

The report notes: “Axway focuses on digital business that is multicloud, multiprotocol, and multigateway. Its roadmap seeks to deliver a more unified product line, non-REST protocol enhancements, more gateway federation, AI for API creation and consumption, and gateway modernization… It is the only vendor in this evaluation to provide robust support for third-party federated gateways…” ¹

“The Amplify platform lets you discover, use, and govern APIs across multiple gateways, vendors, and environments, simplifying adoption and use of APIs. But providing an industry-leading API management solution isn’t enough,” adds Padua. “Just as essential is accompanying our customers in designing an API management strategy that will drive the best results from a company’s investment.”

According to the report, “Reference customers say Axway is a supportive partner that listens to its customers. They also love its support for third-party gateways.” ¹

With Amplify API Management, the global manufacturing and engineering innovator Bosch was able to accelerate product and service innovation.

“We manage over 2,000 APIs using Amplify API Management, with a volume of several hundred million transactions per month. These APIs enable a wide range of use cases, from connecting SAP S/4HANA with other line-of-business solutions to supporting smart heating systems for office buildings,” said David Geiger, Head of API Management at Bosch Digital.

“And with Amplify Marketplace, developers can easily find the right APIs without traversing the entire organization; this saves a huge amount of time.”

Baird, an investment bank and financial services company, drove rapid adoption with a central API catalog and secure self-service consumption with Axway.

“Today, our developers can see all the APIs their peers have developed, identify any application dependences, and check the source repository to see who last worked on it,” said Jim Cornelius, SVP, IT Architect at Baird. “With a central view of which APIs are available, our teams can leverage already-existing code or even an entire API created by another team to accelerate their own development work. Without a doubt, this capability is reducing duplication of effort in our development process — helping us to minimize our time to market for new data-driven services.”

SendBlocks makes accessing blockchain data simple. The SendBlocks platform is fully customizable allowing blockchain enterprises, ecosystems, protocols and applications to define the data that matters to them, and leave it to SendBlocks to sift through the blockchain to find their nuggets.

As high throughput blockchains emerge, many new use cases for blockchain-based applications are becoming evident thanks to better usability and cheaper transaction cost. “At the end of the day we want to create a reality in which any developer can access any blockchain data they desire, without needing an entire data team or spending thousands of dollars per data need to do so,” shares Itay Shrem, Co-founder & CEO.

Existing clients (that can be disclosed) include Bancor and SphereX who have already benefited from SendBlocks’ innovative solution, experiencing streamlined operations and cost savings. With more and more high throughput blockchains emerging, SendBlocks is positioning itself to become the leading data management platform.

“We believe that starting out in web3 shouldn’t necessitate an extensive data team and that infrastructure costs should align with the application’s user base rather than the blockchain’s throughput,” says Michael Kellner, Co-founder & CTO. “Merely scaling the blockchain isn’t sufficient; the entire stack must be scalable to support the next generation of applications,” he adds.

SendBlocks’ innovative approach addresses these challenges head-on. Shrem and Kellner, having spent over a decade each in Talpiot are now leveraging their experience in building secure and resilient infrastructures.

SendBlocks aims to significantly reduce backend and indexing efforts for blockchain developers while maintaining flexibility and robustness by consolidating the conventional indexer/RPC process into a single, user-friendly platform.

Some simple use cases of the SendBlocks platform have already been a game changer for clients, such as flexible historical data access and fully personalized notifications. By providing customers access to anything happening on-chain, SendBlocks helps developers save billions of API queries, resulting in leaner data teams, regardless of the underlying blockchain.

Today Luminar (Nasdaq: LAZR), a leading global automotive technology company, announced it is launching Sentinel¹, its full-stack software suite, following five years of breakthrough developments in Software and AI systems. The Sentinel solution enables automakers to accelerate development of advanced safety and autonomous functionality on vehicles, and includes Proactive Safety, Perception, 3D Mapping and Localization, Simulation, and Dynamic LiDAR features. The first shipments occurred this week, and are planned to be delivered to top automakers in the third quarter of this year.

Luminar’s Sentinel suite is a solution currently in-development to enable advanced safety and autonomous functionality with automakers, leveraging Luminar’s LiDAR hardware and AI-based software technologies developed primarily in-house by its software teams in Silicon Valley and Munich, Germany, with support from 3rd party software partners including Scale AI, Applied Intuition, and Civil Maps, which Luminar acquired in 2022. Sentinel differs from full-stack autonomous software solutions from other companies that develop software for driverless robo-taxis. Luminar’s development has focused from the beginning on giving automakers the toolkit of capabilities outlined above to implement next generation safety and autonomous capabilities for consumer production vehicles. With the launch, Sentinel is targeted to be assessed by and integrated into automaker software development efforts.

A recent comprehensive research report by Swiss Re, one of the world’s largest reinsurance companies, demonstrated that cars equipped with Luminar LiDAR and a development version of Sentinel software showed dramatic safety enhancements and a reduction by as much as 40% in accident severity. Details from the Swiss Re study can be found here. Luminar’s foremost goal is improving safety; however, Luminar, automakers, and end consumers can capitalize on the insurance savings to be realized with the safety and damage-reduction benefits of its technology. Luminar expects to monetize some of the benefits internally by launching its own packaged insurance product to automakers and end consumers.

“People know Luminar for pioneering LiDAR systems for global production vehicles, but since 2017 we have also been building next-generation AI-based software for improved safety and autonomy,” said Austin Russell, Founder and CEO of Luminar. “The majority of major automakers don’t currently have a software solution for next-generation assisted and autonomous driving systems. Our launch couldn’t be more timely with the new NHTSA mandate for next-generation safety in all US production vehicles by 2029, and as of today, we’re the only solution we know of that meets all of these requirements. This gives us the opportunity to dramatically expand our content value per vehicle in a high-margin capacity.”

Sentinel was first previewed by Luminar as a prototype in 2021 with a fraction of its current capabilities. The Sentinel software included in the kits is in continuous development, with the intent to be evaluated by automakers and technology companies for potential integration into future advanced safety and autonomous driving programs. Sentinel is built to be compatible with almost any consumer and commercial vehicle, including both combustion engine and electric drive train models.

Automakers can find more information about Sentinel and the evaluation program at https://www.luminartech.com/technology#sentinel.
