NOMINATION RATIONALE
1) BEST API PRODUCT MICROPORTAL INSIDE A DEVELOPER PORTAL
Why is this category a strong match?
Nationwide’s Business Solutions Gallery within our Partner Integration Hub has transformed how partners discover and adopt Nationwide’s APIs. In 2026, while the number of partner integrations has grown by 35%, digital product reuse has increased from 37% to 44%. This means partners are easily adopting existing solutions rather than requiring custom integrations, accelerating onboarding for new partners.
We reimagined API discovery as a business-first experience. Instead of presenting partners with a technical catalog, the microportals (one for financial services and one for insurance) organize capabilities around business solutions and products that align to partner needs.
The result is a streamlined self-service experience that enables partners to discover, evaluate, onboard and integrate with Nationwide solutions. This microportal accelerates partner adoption and increases reuse of enterprise capabilities.
In what ways does your portal shine in this category?
The Business Solutions Gallery reimagines partner integration by shifting from an API-first model to a business-first model. Partners are no longer expected to navigate complex technical documentation to understand what Nationwide offers – the experience starts with business outcomes. Partners identify the solutions that align to their needs and then seamlessly access the APIs and technical resources needed for implementation.
This solution was built using reusable capabilities and can be replicated easily across lines of business. Business teams can independently manage and update content, enabling faster time to market while maintaining governance, brand consistency and alignment with Nationwide’s broader digital experience.
This is a scalable, business-led solution that simplifies discovery, increases reuse of capabilities and helps partners realize value faster.
2) BEST UNIFIED OR FEDERATED ENTERPRISE DEVELOPER PORTAL
Why is this category a strong match?
Nationwide supports more than 700 API products across 19 lines of business, creating a powerful but inherently complex integration ecosystem. The Nationwide Partner Integration Hub solves a challenge faced by many large organizations: how to provide a consistent, intuitive developer experience while enabling multiple business domains to operate independently. The Hub provides a single point of entry to discover, onboard and manage integrations across the enterprise.
The Hub’s standout capability is its federated design that brings together capabilities from Nationwide Financial and Property & Casualty within a shared experience while allowing each domain to maintain ownership of its products, content and business-specific requirements. Shared standards for governance, security, onboarding, analytics and lifecycle management create consistency for users without sacrificing flexibility.
The platform also extends beyond traditional API management. Digital products can be delivered through APIs, embedded experiences and event-driven integrations, all managed within a common framework.
In what ways does your portal shine in this category?
The Nationwide Partner Integration Hub’s integration across all businesses has enabled Nationwide to save over $9M in redundant technology investment by providing a shared platform. Rather than building and maintaining separate solutions across business groups, Nationwide established a unified model that provides consistency while supporting the unique needs of each business.
The platform transforms discovering integrations from a technical exercise into a business-led experience. Partners no longer navigate hundreds of APIs – the experience begins with understanding the business goals and outcomes needed. The experience is intuitive and accelerates implementation for partners.
The Hub also created a “one product, multiple integration options” approach, allowing partners to integrate APIs, embedded experiences, event streams and additional integrations. Partners can choose the approach that best fits their needs while benefiting from consistent onboarding, governance and support.
Most importantly, the Hub serves as a single digital product catalog, control plane and management environment for integration capabilities across the enterprise. By managing multiple integration patterns within one platform, Nationwide can adopt emerging technologies and future integration models without rearchitecting partner relationships or creating fragmented experiences.
The results demonstrate both business and technical impact. Digital product reuse across partners has increased, engagement with the pre-authentication portal continues to grow, and platform traffic has more than doubled over the past three years, reflecting increased adoption and visibility across Nationwide's integration ecosystem.
