iPaaS Defined
iPaaS is a cloud-based solution that simplifies integration across on-premises and cloud business applications, data sets, and services. Any business using iPaaS can seamlessly integrate its entire tech stack while eliminating the complexity of creating and maintaining multiple point-to-point (P2P) integrations.
The Value of Integration
Integrations are the lifeblood of business agility and a competitive advantage in fast-evolving markets. Integrating apps and data warehouses breaks down data silos to give your teams a 360-degree view of the business. Integrations also enable you to automate business processes and data flow between high-value systems like ERP, CRM, marketing automation, and more.
Instead of paying for new systems, you can maximize the return on your existing investments using fast, easy integrations.
