NOMINEE OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Nationwide Partnership Portal, a cornerstone of our "Open" strategy designed to expose our solutions through APIs with unparalleled flexibility and speed. This portal serves as the primary gateway for external B2B partnerships and is a robust platform for digital product discoverability, configuration, and management for our internal users. Over the past nine years, our portal has not only accelerated Nationwide's API adoption journey but also paved the way for strategic partnerships with non-Nationwide companies, offering unique value through traditional protection products and innovative digital solutions. With a focus on self-service functionality, our portal ensures seamless experiences for both external partners and internal users, simplifying processes regardless of role. The digital product catalog further aids in the discovery and search of products by solution, name, and description. Since its inception, the portal has quadrupled the number of available APIs, facilitating over 100 million monthly transactions from external partners. It supports 100% of Nationwide's critical business processes and enhances our partnership strategy with 50 consumable partner products.
NOMINATION RATIONALE
1) BEST SOLUTION PORTAL
The Nationwide Partnership Portal is purpose-built to be a "solution-first" platform, making it a natural fit for this category. From the ground up, the portal has been designed to surface real business solutions, not just APIs. It empowers external partners and internal users to discover, configure, and manage digital offerings in a way that reflects how Nationwide solves problems across industries, whether through protection products, embedded finance capabilities, or ecosystem integrations.
Our portal doesn't simply list technical assets; it curates complete, consumable solutions across every major business unit. Each digital product is represented as part of a broader, value-driven offering, making it intuitive for users to align Nationwide’s capabilities with their own needs. This clarity and structure ensure that partners can quickly find the right solution, understand how to integrate with it, and go to market faster, all critical hallmarks of an exceptional "solution portal."
2) BEST UNIFIED ENTERPRISE DEVELOPER PORTAL
The Nationwide Partnership Portal is a strong contender for the Best Unified Enterprise Developer Portal because it is the central, enterprise-wide platform through which all of Nationwide’s digital integration capabilities are made available — to both internal developers and external partners. It unifies the diverse needs of multiple business units, products, and personas into a single, cohesive experience that simplifies how users discover, onboard, and integrate with Nationwide’s digital assets.
Unlike portals that serve narrow or product-specific purposes, our platform acts as the single source of truth for all integration points — from API documentation to product configuration and credentialing. It brings together stakeholders from across the enterprise and ensures standardization, governance, and scalability, all while maintaining a user-friendly interface tailored to each audience.
