Optimize your business processes

A system of tools and technologies that connects various applications, systems, repositories, and IT environments for the real-time exchange of data and processes. Once combined, the data and integrated cloud services can then be accessed by multiple devices over a network or via the internet.

Cloud integration is created to break down data silos, improve connectivity and visibility, and ultimately optimize business processes. 

It is a response to the need to share data among cloud-based applications and to unify information components.

Cloud integration has grown in popularity as the use of Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions continues to increase. Additionally, more businesses are operating with a hybrid mix of SaaS and on-premises applications, creating a greater need for progressive integration methods.

Benefits

  • Improved operational efficiency
  • Increased flexibility and scalability
  • Faster time-to-market
  • Better internal communication
  • Improved customer service, support, and retention
  • Increased competitive edge
  • Reduced operational costs and increased revenue

Cloud integration types and methods

Integration in the cloud can involve creating cloud-to-cloud integration, cloud-to-on-premises integration, or a combination of both. Integrations can address different business components, including data and applications.

Data integration

The synchronization of data between repositories. Data can be processed, transported and/or transformed during data integration. This is a strictly data-related connection.

Application integration 

Connects various applications and arranges continued functionality and interoperability. This is more than data sharing. It involves issuing requests and commands to trigger business events or processes.

Own integration solutions 

Businesses have the option of building their own integration solutions or using a third-party provider to create cloud integrations. Using a cloud integration platform empowers organizations to perform both application and data integration using an agile, scalable, reusable solution.
