A Focus Area Maturity Model for API Management
by Max Matthijssen, Michiel Overeem, Slinger Jansen | University Utrecht
Organizations are increasingly connecting using Application Programming Interfaces to share data, functionality, and even complete business processes. However, the creation and management of these so-called APIs, is non-trivial. Aspects such as the business model, usage throttling, documentation, are often rushed afterthoughts. In this research, we present and evaluate the API Management Focus Area Maturity Model, addressing the domains of Community Engagement, Security, Lifecycle, Monitoring, Performance, and Commercial. The API-m-FAMM is a model that organizations can use to evaluate how well they are doing at API management and to set out a course for systematic improvement and evolution. We have used the model in practice in several organizations, and report on these results as well.

Maximilian took the audience on a journey to successful digital platforms in business-to-business markets (e.g., Salesforce, ServiceNow).

The Software M&A Ecosystem
Industry Keynote by Jon Scott | Corum Group
John presented his analysis of the players and hot topics in the M&A market for software companies that are based on many deals that the Corum Group has worked on.

Management of complementary platform-based software products
Christopher Jud | Kaufland Digital
While platforms are the standard concept to interact with customers in some industries, they are just now emerging in others. Platforms often are technical foundation and distribution channel for complementary software products like mobile apps. While this is a great business opportunity for complementors, platforms set the rules of the game for the platforms.
Christopher Jud analysed in the effects of platforms on software products. as well as technological aspects and impacts on business models.

Since 2016 the Startup Heatmap Europe crowns the most attractive startup hubs in Europe. Based on a representative sample of founders in Europe the survey reveals the Top 50 cities where founders would like to start a company if they could choose freely. Competition is fierce, the report shows based on their analysis of actual founder movements and international ties of startups: With 27% of all founders in Europe being foreign-born, they are far more likely to move than the usual EU citizen.
Thomas Kösters will present this information.
Thomas Kösters is the Managing Director of DEEP, a global community of ecosystem builders who turn cities and their regions into world-leading innovation hubs. He has been tracking the development of European startup ecosystems for more than 5 years with their Startup Heatmap Platform and will share with us what data tells us about how to turn a region into an attractive startup hub.

Maximilian Schreieck et al. will talk about groundbreaking research in the digital platform space.
Digital platforms are amongst the fastest growing businesses today. While the developments have mainly taken place in the business-to-consumer markets, recent years have seen successful digital platforms in business-to-business markets (e.g., Salesforce, ServiceNow). However, there are also many companies that struggle to launch digital platforms. In this presentation, we report from an in-depth study of a business-to-business platform launched in the insurance and healthcare industry. We uncover launch challenges that we expected based on literature on business-to-consumer platforms as well as launch challenges unique to business-to-business markets. Disentangling and discussing these challenges helps other companies to design their platform strategies.
