Are you using any iPaaS (integration platform as a service) solutions for integration or are you doing your own point to point?

We're doing integrations ourselves. We looked at iPaaS for a long time, but we started doing a lot of this integration before there were good iPaaS solutions on the market that were affordable. The middleware is not that hard, but the key is the talent of the team to do this. We are finding that we're building some centralized databases, SQL tables, that happen to have a lot of the crosswalk data we need to make all the things talk to each other. The team that was doing that ad hoc is now formalizing the process and saying, "We're going to have this middleware database that simply pulls pieces from all the places we need it, to be able to look elsewhere." It's proving to be transformative. And it's stopping a lot of our clients from looking for cloud solutions that fit their needs because we can bring something together a lot quicker using pieces they already know.

We are using Workato, which is a low-code/no-code integration solution. It worked really well; within a matter of hours, you have integrations done and still flowing through a single platform.

But you have to have the underlying products that allow for the integrations.

Mostly, all modern solutions now have rest APIs that you can hook into.

I have used Mulesoft, Workato and Boomi in the past. Currently we use Workato and it has been awesome. We can unlock business values very quickly. IT admins are able to learn tool super fast. Overall it has been game changer for the company.

Seamless is usually not possible unless you choose a "suite" or a platform where the integration is natively performed as being part of the platform.
