What is iPaaS (Integration-Platform-as-a-Service)?

What is the purpose of iPaaS?

  • Integrate systems and connect different services
    Manage integration flows between disparate SaaS apps and systems to increase productivity and provide a single source of data.
  • Implement digital transformation and innovation initiatives
    Seamlessly integrate legacy systems with modern ones and increase the speed of innovation through rapid development and deployment of integrations.
  • Cost efficiency
    Lower infrastructure and maintenance expenses by reducing the hours needed to set up and manage complex integrations.

Common challenges with system integration

Integration complexity and differences between tools.png

Integration complexity and differences between tools

Differences in system architecture, data formats, and protocols can complicate integrations.

  • No two applications are the same. Differences in systems and data can slow down integrations.
  • Scalability can become a challenge as the business grows and acquires more apps.

Time, budget, and security concerns

Integration often requires significant upfront investment in software, hardware, and human resources.

  • Concerns about data security and compliance in cloud platforms.
  • There is a lack of skilled personnel with expertise in iPaaS and integration strategies.

iPaaS vs. Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) vs. API Management

iPaaS

  • Purpose
    Connects various applications, data, and processes across the cloud and on-premises environments.
  • Architecture
    A more modern, scalable, and flexible approach to integration, supporting a wide range of integration patterns, including API-led connectivity.
  • Use Cases 
    Best for businesses looking for a quick way to integrate cloud-based and on-premises applications.
  • Complexity
    Reduces the complexity of integrations, offering pre-built connectors, visual development tools, and automated workflows.

ESB

  • Purpose
    ESB is designed to integrate various applications by putting a communication bus between them, thus allowing them to communicate without dependency on or knowledge of each other.
  • Architecture
    It follows a more traditional, centralized integration approach, facilitating point-to-point integration.
  • Use Cases 
    Best suited for integrating on-premises, legacy systems within an organization.
  • Complexity
    Can become complex and cumbersome to manage as the number of integrations grows.

API Management

  • Purpose
    Focuses on the creation, publication, and governance of APIs. It allows an organization to monitor and control how its APIs are used.
  • Architecture
    Provides a gateway through which APIs can be accessed by external developers and partners, often with developer portals for API discovery and documentation.
  • Use Cases 
    Ideal for scenarios where exposing services as APIs to external consumers is required.
  • Complexity
    Simplifies the management of APIs but requires careful planning around API design and versioning.

iPaaS future: Embracing AI

Here are the 4 trends with iPaaS that define the system integration landscape:

AI and Machine Learning Integration

API Economy and Microservices

AI and ML are used not only as part of the integration but also as an integrator through task automation and optimization insights. The main developments in this sphere include Predictive Analytics to anticipate integration needs and Intelligent Data Mapping to reduce manual labor.

Integration platforms are expected to manage numerous API interactions including advanced tools for API creation. Additionally, iPaaS is expected to provide seamless connectivity through microservices-based applications.

Enhanced Security Measures

Low-code and No-code Platforms

Integration platforms now incorporate more security measures to protect data, such as Zero-Trust Security Models and Advanced Encryption for data transit and at rest.

Low-code and no-code platforms simplify integrations and allow users to manage without coding. Key features include user-friendly interfaces for building integrations and rapid prototyping, which allows developers to develop and deploy integrations faster and more cost-effectively.

ondeva and iPaaS FAQs

Find answers to the most common questions about ondeva and Integration-Platform-as-a-Service.

Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) is a cloud-based service that allows different systems, applications, and data sources to communicate and work together. iPaaS is especially useful for organizations looking to integrate new cloud-based applications with existing on-premises systems or to streamline connections between multiple cloud services.

Implementing iPaaS effectively involves 8 steps:

1. Identify integration needs
2. Select an iPaaS provider
3. Develop an integration strategy
4. Configure and customize integrations
5. Test system integration for for functionality, performance, and security
