Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV), the revenue growth experts in global cloud commerce, has announced it is hosting a free webinar entitled, “Extending the Product Lifecycle: Using APIs as a Low Cost Way to Win Online,” on Aug. 29, 2012. The webinar is part of Digital River’s monthly Globalocity^™ Webinar Series.

Led by Eric Roubal, Digital River’s senior director of development, the webinar will help online merchants:

• Learn how Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) can unlock access to customers and markets that were previously difficult to reach;
• Determine how APIs can enhance product development and accelerate time-to-market; and
• Explore tactics for using APIs to cost effectively grow online businesses and tap into new revenue streams.

“Connected devices and technologies are evolving at a breakneck pace and forcing companies to be more agile and move more quickly. As a result, companies are turning to APIs and their resulting third-party partnerships to accelerate their expansion and product development plans,” said Anudeep Parhar, senior vice president of global engineering and development for Digital River. “During the webinar, attendees will learn key strategies for making APIs part of their companies’ growth strategies and discover why avoiding APIs may no longer be a viable technical option.”

Attendees are encouraged to register for one of the two webinars, which are open to the public and free of charge.
