Integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) provides an overall better user experience by offering businesses a more simplified, streamlined option to organize and access their myriad applications and tools in the cloud. With many of the same benefits as the platform as a service structure (PaaS)—such as cost, scalability, and security, among others—iPaaS can extend these benefits to a broader scale by combining and integrating multiple systems. Through these integration capabilities, iPaaS is changing how applications and data are accessed and used.
As its name suggests, iPaaS is a platform that provides tools for users to develop integration flows that connect applications and systems deployed across different environments. iPaaS allows for communication between other otherwise unconnected systems to integrate and share data within and between cloud-based and on-premise applications. Many businesses require different systems across their various departments, and iPaaS connects these systems to allow better communication and sharing of data between departments while eliminating the need for hardware or middleware. Since iPaaS is “as-a-service,” businesses subscribe to a platform through a provider. The provider supports and manages a business’s integration flows to ensure everything works appropriately, from developing and deploying to hosting and monitoring to covering middleware and software.
iPaaS provides various benefits in helping businesses create a more cohesive environment for hosting, organizing, and accessing their applications. Simplifying the structure, increasing network and data reliability, creating more efficient processes, and enhancing security are some of the ways iPaaS allows businesses to create an IT environment that meets their needs:
The benefits of iPaaS make it an attractive solution for businesses looking for a more streamlined system for their applications; by creating multiple platforms available within one location, iPaaS changes how companies integrate their applications to promote better access and data utilization.
