Best Integration platforms as a service for small and medium businesses
Recently, business is actively undergoing a digital transformation, which is data consolidation and connecting business users to all the company data they need. It allows you to establish a smooth interaction with customers and provide a high-quality service, regardless of whether the information is exchanged in digital format or not.
Today's businesses are using more digital applications than ever before, and more and more companies are opting for the cloud. The critical problem of digital transformation is the connection of all CRM, POS, marketing, and other systems to transfer data between them. Small businesses cannot afford to create full-fledged integration departments to carry out such work.
In such situations, the integration platform-as-service (iPaaS) technology is a reasonable approach to integration. iPaaS allows you to customize data exchange between applications and processes much faster than other integration approaches. Typically, traditional integration systems are now often expensive and complicated compared to today's iPaaS capabilities. IPaaS works excellent no matter where the integration is set up: in the cloud, on-premises, or combination.
Key features and capabilities of iPaaS Integration Platform:
• Multi-user cloud architecture. IPaaS is a cloud service, so it has all the characteristics of a cloud. It means that it can scale quickly and is suitable for integrating large amounts of data.
• A library of connectors that provide connectivity to cloud and on-premises applications. Each platform comes with a set of connectors for specific programs and applications.
• Ability to quickly compare and transform data. Quick data mapping tools help the user take a field from the source system, transform the data, and map it to a target system field.
• User interface that allows us to customize the integration between different systems. An easy-to-use interface allows even "non-technical" personnel to set an integration.
