Integration Solution 

MODERN INTEGRATION

Modern organisations need to find ways to unlock the value of their data and technology, and bring them together to connect customers, partners and employees. As organisations adopt an increasing number of cloud services, the need for a new generation of integration technology, supported by cloud, is essential.

Data now resides in new ‘cloud silos’ as well as disparate on-premises systems. For an organisation to exploit their data, a new approach to integration is required.

Modern integration connects on-premises with cloud services to deliver true enterprise level results that fuel digital transformation programmes.

Modern Integration delivers a powerful and highly scalable platform to integrate applications, data and processes.

Key Benefits:

  • Connect on-premises , hybrid and cloud applications
  • Run mission-critical, complex integration scenarios with ease
  • Leverage cloud APIs for the enterprise
  • Increase the value of on-premises investment
  • Act as a stepping stone to a cloud-only strategy
  • Allow third parties to access data without compromising systems
