Is API Management = EPI

My boss asked me a question, "Is API Management going to rule over SOA?".  I had browsed through several sites and try to find out the details of API Management.  As usual, with the work API can't distinguish much.  Finally I made a list of comparisons and use cases to explain both of them (API Management and SOA) are not really rivals.   Both exist always and adds value at different levels to the organizations.

Now I have found a blog in SOA Thinkar  preferring "Enterprise API Management" in short EPM.  Its straight went into my mind not to confuse with popular API understanding.

I feel easy to understand and distinguish the modern API Management concept by calling them "Enterprise Programming Interface" in short EPM.

So I say  API Management = EPI.

Your thoughts are always welcome....
