Why is the CA API Management Community valuable to you and the customers you serve?

I love the idea of having a place where our clients and partners can interact directly with the experts in our company. There is so much knowledge out there in the user base of our products, and the CA API Management Community makes it easy to share. I am especially happy when I see one of our clients or partners post a helpful solution that no-one thought of in house. When everyone in the community invests a little bit of time in contributing to the community, everyone reaps big benefits.
