What is an iPaaS?
An iPaaS or integrated Platform as a Service is a solution to automate business processes by data sharing through business applications integrated across all departments. Leveraging this solution can increase workflow efficiency by reducing dependency on applications such as spreadsheets and email.
Top 5 iPaaS benefits
Easy to implement multi-cloud
As a business does not rely on a single vendor to manage its processes, an iPaaS makes it simple to connect these solutions. A central portal with easy-to-use controls can make monitoring and coordinating easy. iPaaS eases cloud integration enabled with multi-cloud management.
Enables API initiatives
Every business has different API sets, and their nature differs according to the purpose leading to data inconsistencies. An iPaaS bridges this gap making data consistent and readable.
The IT teams are benefited from this aspect as they can measure API performance and its lifecycle through iPaaS on the same platform.
Cost-effective integration
An iPaas integration lets you connect the other app in minutes. While achieving this, the iPaaS provider manages to keep the subscription amount affordable. It gives the user the freedom to predict expenses. Moreover, the subscriber will pay for the required service level rather than an upfront investment.
Adaptable and User-friendly
As iPaaS is adaptable, it can quickly adapt to changes or add a new requirement as long as your apps are responsive to the modifications. With this distinct feature, the integrated solution will grow with your business.
Better data security and compliance
The management and security features of iPaaS are advanced compared to other platforms. The iPaaS solution should meet all regulatory and compliance standards. Furthermore, it should also offer the latest enterprise authentication technology.
