Founded in 2012, Cloud Elements recognized that APIs enable companies to integrate their software with other software and services from other companies. However, as the number of APIs increased, these integrations quickly became a burden for these companies to implement and maintain. Cloud Elements created a novel, virtualized API as the foundation for its users to connect to multiple applications, which in turn significantly reduces software developer time and cost to build and maintain API connections.
