Google Legacy Google Cloud Apigee API Management PaaS n/a 2017 2017 In 2017, Kao adopted Google Cloud Apigee for API Management to publish reusable APIs across its AEMEA operations, accelerating ecommerce and B2B integrations. The implementation focused on ecommerce, supply chain, and omnichannel retail use cases to support partners and internal teams. The deployment used the Google Cloud Apigee platform as a central API management layer to publish and secure reusable APIs and to provide operational visibility into API consumption. Implementation scope included exposing about 20 APIs to partners and internal teams, and the configuration emphasized API publishing, traffic management, security, and monitoring capabilities consistent with API Management patterns. Operational rollout targeted Kao AEMEA with governance processes to onboard partners, publish APIs for reuse, and improve API visibility across business functions. The program reduced development time from 40 weeks to 4 weeks and improved time to market for ecommerce and supply chain integrations.
