Why iPaaS Isn’t Enough

Fast-track business solutions using an AI-powered Digital Platform Conductor

As businesses use more tools, systems, and applications, data becomes siloed making it harder to tackle complex challenges. Finding solutions means navigating a mountain of spreadsheets, which adds time, cost, and risk.

Traditionally companies used integration platform as a service (iPaaS) solutions to get systems to share data and perform basic functions around tech delivery workflows, but as business technology continues to evolve something more is needed.

Why iPaaS Isn’t Enough as Business Technology Evolves

Because iPaaS solutions are designed to tackle IT transformation they are predominantly used by those with deep development expertise. It takes time and money to create customized system connectors, implement parameters to make sense of data and build workflows to automate processes. As systems evolve and new tool functionality added, more time and money must be spent on development and maintenance.

As business tech decentralization occurs, teams outside of IT are being challenged by poor data visibility and system interoperability, but often lack the developer expertise required by iPaaS to connect systems and use data in a meaningful way to solve their own challenges. Because they can’t access services out of the box, they are reliant on overburdened IT teams or specialist third party developers to build solutions for them. Programs are delayed and leaders and teams are frustrated as they can’t quickly see a return on their investments.

Digital Platform Conductor (DPC)

Digital platform conductors are a new category of integration software that expand the scope and capabilities of iPaaS to solve the challenge of growing business system complexity. Like iPaaS, DPCs offer a library of pre-built industry application connectors but are accessible for non-developers through:

icon-dependencies_reversed
Low-code APIs for custom connector creation.
icon-ai_reversed
Pre-built and customizable user interfaces.
icon-adapt-infrastructure_reversed
Templates and tools that simplify workflow and trigger creation.
icon-analytics_reversed
Simplified graph and chart creation for greater data visualization and analysis out of the box.
Teams can easily connect and consume new tool capabilities using a DPC so managing across a complex ecosystem is simplified even as your tools grow in number!

Evolution: iPaaS to ReadyWorks DPC

  Integration Platform
as a Service		 ReadyWorks – AI-powered Digital Platform Conductor
icon-visualization
Focus		 Integration of disparate tools, platforms, and apps across heterogenous environments to support business processes. Integration of disparate apps, tools and platforms is part of wider functionality that also incorporates intelligent analytics and orchestration and automation of digital platforms and processes across heterogenous environments to drive business outcomes.
icon-deep-cloud-integrations-01
System Integration		 Pre-built connectors, software development kits (SDKs), APIs and scripts deliver connectivity for integration of tool capabilities, data exchange and mapping. Delivered with pre-built connectors while custom connections can be generated through low-code APIs enabling integration of tool capabilities, and facilitating data exchange, and dependency mapping.
icon-optimize-01
Data Intelligence		 Basic monitoring and analytics focused on the integration process, providing insight into integration related metrics, data flows and system performance. Ability to integrate with third party applications. In-built intelligent analytics and customizable dashboards, reports, alerts, and intuitive searching deliver 360-degree visibility of integrated data, and actionable insights into digital processes. The ability to integrate with third party solutions, such as AI platforms, further advances capabilities.
icon-orchestration
Orchestration & Automation		 Focuses primarily on integration-related capabilities, including connecting systems, automating data flows, and managing APIs. User-friendly functionality simplifies the management of complex digital ecosystems and the building of automated workflows that use existing tool functionality to drive business outcomes.
icon-tools
Customization		 Extensive customization through development tools, APIs, SDKs, and scripts Extensive customization through simplified custom connectivity (low code APIs), and user-friendly workflow and T-comms templates.
icon-dashboard-1
Management		 In-depth development expertise required – managed by IT or 3rd party experts. Simplified management interface, low-code APIs tools, and templates mean there’s no need for in-depth development expertise. Programs can be managed by teams across the business.
icon-analyze-plan
Future Evolution		 Requires constant maintenance and upgrade of connectors. As your environment changes more time and money is needed to create new tool connections to consume their data and capabilities. Maintain simplicity even as business complexity grows through a platform that rapidly integrates new tool data and capabilities – including AI platforms, allowing them to be consumed by innovative services. Simply transfer and reuse workflows across programs and build out solutions as business needs dictate.
