Honor to whom honor is due.
The product was born in January 2021 and has been used by a broad customer family ever since. This success evolved especially thanks to the innovative ideas and experience in the dedicated area of expertise of our team members, by listening to the customers and their needs and through the drive to use a modern microservice architecture and cloud native technologies as well as working agile.
Therefore, big thanks go out to our team for being the best. This award for our innovative connect your business API is highly deserved and includes our entire team. Thanks to: the Product Management & Service Delivery team for defining the product and ensuring a professional customer interaction; the Engineering & Technology team with its IT Architects, DevOps Engineers, Site Reliability and Test Engineers for designing, developing, and operating it and assuring its high quality; the Sales & Marketing team for promoting the product, constantly gathering customer feedback and safeguarding customer satisfaction; the Business Development & Internationalization team for introducing the product to their customer groups; and finally the Finance & Controlling and Corporate Functions team for being the backguard and ensuring a smooth running of our business.
The 2023 DEVIES Award is a great addition to our 2022 API Award that we received last September for the Best in Automotive APIs category.
