REST API has become become critical for network-based API access from web, mobile, SaaS and other modern apps. As financial services companies continue to adopt modern applications, their success lies in their ability to truly democratize their enterprise data that resides on relational, NoSQL or a Big Data database. RESTification is the solution! Once you restify your DB, this data becomes accessible from any .NET, Java, C++, Javascript, Python, Objective C, iOS and other similar clients.
