Integration:
A business and technology driver
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 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 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

iPaaS is designed to integrate the complex matrix of cloud and on-premises technologies. Extract more value from
your APIs with iPaaS as it facilitates APIs that are a mix of data, services and apps.
