3. “ …a minor invention every
10 days and a big thing “
every 6 months or so.
Time Magazine, July 2010
5. Traditional Approach: Our Approach:
Not Software Flexible software with modular hardware
6.12 cubic ft .67 cubic ft
6. Test Monitor Embedded Control Mechatronics
Desktops and PXI and Modular NI CompactRIO and Open Connectivity
PC-Based DAQ Instruments Custom Designs With Third-Party I/O
12. High school students competing in FIRST
Robotics Competition build fully
functioning, human-sized robots in just six
weeks using the NI graphical system design
platform.
13. “I'd like for NI to give us its
blessing to create such tools
[with APIs], so that we don't
feel like renegade outlaws
and can feel comfortable
sharing them with others…
the current position from NI
seems to be that it doesn't
exist.”

27. API strategy must fit into company vision and
culture. Transition from private to public APIs is
a challenge.
Keys to API program success are: lowering
barriers of entry, monetization, and enabling
network effects.
API’s that exploit Moore’s Law from
computational point of view can cause major
disruption.
