Reasons for Choosing Apigee with MFEC as a Consultant
In the expansion of loan business in the IT field, both the systemization and API play important roles in supporting the system expansion. Ngern Tid Lor Company has also thoroughly researched and tested every procedure before choosing to use the product as well as the installation firm. For this business expansion, Ngern Tid Lor has revealed that the company has designed it as a microservice that can reuse the existing data because for their API, most of the processes were RESTful, including system, process, or even UI/UX that support various channels. As a result, it can be rapidly expanded since it is able to use the API in the Process Layer or the old System Layer without having to develop all of them from the beginning while Apigee can also use the data from the previous API.
Apigee’s features provide convenience, time-savings, and fewer complications compared to the other API Gateway as it has sufficient features and acts as a centralized data distribution center to simplify the payment complexity via numerous channels. Furthermore, this API also supports the coding process, minimizes errors, and conveniently sets up the system, all of which are the reasons why Ngern Tid Lor believes Apigee is the best option for this expansion plan.

As Ngern Tid Lor sees the potential in MFEC’s operation, the ability to solve the problems, and MFEC’s strengths which consist of the ability to clearly answer the questions, real-time model, and competent specialists to monitor the system as well as provide consultation at all time, Ngern Tid Lor confidently works with MFEC and places their trust on the company.
In addition, MFEC has stated its vision regarding the collaboration with Ngern Tid Lor Company that with Apigee’s API System, MFEC does not only focuses on the project’s success, but also emphasizes on achieving a ‘win-win’ scenario as MFEC aims for the product that was developed and installed to generate more profit and benefits for its business partner while becoming one of the mechanisms for Ngern Tid Lor to drive forward and expand its products more comprehensively.
