What Your Law Firm Needs to Know About APIs 

An API is a section of software code that enables one program to utilize the features or information of another. A robust API makes it easier for software developers to use the capabilities of one application to create others. Over the past decade, the use of APIs by businesses has grown rapidly. APIs serve as the entrance to your digital business. In order to give corporate stakeholders a better digital experience, it is crucial to correctly manage and maintain APIs. 

The major significance that APIs play in tying together industries and technology into effective ecosystems has already been recognized by many firms. Organizations that swiftly adopt an API-centric architecture might open up potent new channels for revenue development as APIs get greater visibility and use cases. 

Legal tech solutions are being adopted by law firms to improve their overall business and practice. These solutions, such as Infodash, allow lawyers to access multiple applications and user interfaces for a single project or matter. APIs improve the software’s ability to interact and integrate between different applications by incorporating key parts of a lawyer’s workflow.  

An example is Infodash’s integration with iManage, which makes it easy for end users to connect to iManage’s work server to display workspaces and documents through Infodash web parts. Infodash gives the people at your firm the ability to build their own workspace by using another application’s features without having to rebuild it themselves. Our API enables information to flow from your existing systems and applications (financial and document management, CRM, and more) to front-end intranet and extranet pages with drag & drop ease. 

You have the ability to quickly retrieve business data using the Infodash API, and then use Microsoft Flow to produce a no-code data solution. By determining whether a client has to be updated, adding business logic rules, and more, we have the ability to expand this flow even further. 

Conclusion

The major significance that APIs play in tying together industries and technology into effective ecosystems has already been recognized by many firms. Organizations that swiftly adopt an API-centric architecture might open up new channels for revenue development as APIs get even more visibility and use cases.
