Integrate to Innovate with Multi-function iPaaS As technology becomes increasingly more flexible, mobile and connected, business priorities have become more directive and granular for IT. You are now tasked with building seamless digital business models, facilitating new ecosystems and channels —while enhancing the UX and staying on track with continuous delivery and rapid app dev and deployment. How can you deliver capabilities faster to fully embrace digital and extract value from your data? Integration holds the key. But in many organizations, business systems and application integration haven’t kept up with the demands of digital. Data still exists in a siloed blend of on-premises systems and unconnected cloud applications. And the Internet of Things (IoT) has added another layer of complexity into the mix. Things are changing rapidly. Leading analysts forecast the integration market will grow to $18B by 2022. Integration is coming out of the shadows and into the spotlight to serve as the silent enabler of digital business. iPaaS is the integration delivery mechanism that simplifies and speeds up the way integrations are developed, deployed, and maintained in the cloud. Integration: A business and technology driver Market trends driving change to integration strategies Data drives differentiation Data is a unique business asset that drives differentiation. Digital transformation initiatives set the stage for data to serve as your value creator. Organizations are unlocking the value of data through integration to optimize sales channels, improve efficiency, drive revenue and ultimately— deliver innovation. Companies are taking charge In-house innovation is the goal as organizations take control of their critical, digital projects but outsource traditional infrastructure or IT management. With less reliance on packaged applications, your organization can create, enhance and develop faster—using data to its full potential. Digital demands integration Your digital experience demands integration. Customer expectations have set the bar high when it comes to having a unified, UX within your business. Back end processes must be integrated with “front office” functionality to do so. Integration and APIs both serve as enablers of digital and deliver innovation to your business. Cloud-first architecture Many companies are now facing “cloud mandates.” Cloud implementations are expected to reduce operating expenses and must become a core competency. Cloud-based distributed microservices architectures are more flexible, resilient and scalable allowing for focus and simplicity in developing new apps. Put integration to work for your business Integration should be: • Approachable to business users and developers alike • Support a wide variety of standards and protocols • Able to live in the cloud, on-premises or a hybrid mix of both • Enable developers with different expertise and backgrounds • Able to connect to any endpoint—from App-to-Edge • Secure and governable for your piece of mind • A catalyst for innovation APIs Free your data Integration Be ready to innovate B2B Transact with trust IoT Turn insights into action Integration: Be ready to innovate Integration is more than connecting SaaS to on-premises applications; it’s an integral part of your digital business strategy. Multi-cloud infrastructures need multi-function iPaaS to handle the new complexities driven by highly competitive digital environments in the disruptor economy. SaaS apps dominate the landscape; pre-integration with market-leading SaaS apps makes iPaaS the easy choice for your digital first strategy. Use integration as a business enabler across your organization by connecting all the “things” that matter most. From app to edge and everything in between, integration is the key to unlocking the value of your data and to extending your critical business functions. Connect Connect to the largest number of data sources Productivity Only tool for both low-code and high control development Microservices Run your integrations in distributed microservices architectures Cloud Deployment Deploy on-premises integrations to the cloud in 3 clicks Stability Rely on a common runtime that evolves without breaking APIs: Free your data APIs are driving more than a new economy, they serve your business as a critical new “monetizable” business asset. They add value to your business as an extension of your services or capabilities—and transform your ecosystem into new revenue streams. They also impact the way you approach integration—specifically hybrid integration. If APIs are the glue that connects apps and services, iPaaS is the adhesive ingredient in the glue. Multi-function iPaaS is designed to integrate the complex matrix of cloud and on-premises technologies.
