Supports on-premise and hybrid cloud deployment,
so you can integrate “everything with everything”
with ease and speed.
Technology innovations are happening faster and the IT landscape is evolving to take new forms. Older technologies need to rely heavily on IT to establish connectivity with new, state of the art cloud-based systems. However, most of these connections are isolated, point-to-point interconnections which can suffer a setback with a single change to a single connected interface.
Point-to-point integration, tightly coupled integration between two or more endpoints, is a quick fix but it can quickly turn into a big headache. As organizations expand, they will soon be expected to connect more endpoints that could make the architecture even more complex. In other words, with growing infrastructure and thereby endpoints, organizations quickly become unmanageable and brittle.
Since point-to-point integration is a fixed solution, business users tend to lose their flexibility to introduce new systems that can grow with them. These integrations exhaust IT, preventing them from focusing on other innovation-driving tasks. So, their overreliance on IT inhibits organizations’ ability to drive innovation and meet current and changing business demands, ultimately making them difficult to do business with. To address this challenge, Adeptia offers an enterprise-class hybrid integration platform to integrate any combination of technologies, without IT intervention, in a matter of minutes instead of weeks or months. Our hybrid cloud integration platform allows all users seamlessly integrate on-premises systems and applications with cloud applications and services with confidence.
Most enterprises find cloud to on-premise application integration is a complex and time-consuming job. They face several operational challenges in bringing data from one system to another. A great deal of time, money, and IT resources are spent in defining, building, and maintaining connections between these applications. Adeptia’s hybrid cloud integration solution simplifies this part. With a hybrid architecture that encompasses out-of-the-box features to integrate data residing in legacy systems, databases, data lakes, and warehouses with modern Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Business-to-Business (B2B) applications, this hybrid data integration solution allows business users simplify the integration process and allow for seamless hybrid integration. It enables businesses to respond to new requirements, operate with agility, and ultimately drive business forward.
Adeptia’s hybrid data integration solution seamlessly integrates on-premises systems and applications with cloud applications and services to:
It delivers rich capabilities to business users to control and manage complex IT environments where several applications run in parallel in cloud or on-premise. Since companies no longer have to rely on IT teams to resolve operational issues, burden on IT decreases. In fact, they can focus on more crucial tasks to help companies become easier to do business with. Moreover, with several new capabilities, a user can manage cloud to ground integration in a whole new way without the need of writing a single line of code. Our hybrid integration architecture provides foundational support to IT that leads to greater standardization, simplification, reuse, and scalability of technologies.
Implementing a hybrid integration solution in the existing business architecture requires a systematic, planned, and focused approach. Users must scheme out a robust hybrid integration strategy to leverage maximum benefits. Here are 8 practices that can help companies in future-proofing their hybrid integration architecture.
1. Plan where to host your integration tools
The first step is to chalk out a plan to find a strategic place from where the data integration tools can be hosted.
2. Analyze who is going to be the end-user
Businesses must identify their end-users. Gartner specified these users to be integration specialists, ad hoc integrators (that is, developers, application teams, SaaS super users, data scientists), and citizen integrators.
3. Address Crucial Dimensions – Integration Domains, Endpoints, and Deployments Models
Next, they need to leverage dimensions - personas, domains, endpoints and, deployment and operating models - to articulate a set of requirements that will help define the HIP capability framework for them.
4. Empower Business Users to Build Integrations
Use hybrid integration platform that enables organizations self-serve, manage, and monitor all integrations on a central platform to guarantee quality and consistency of business demands.
5. Ensure Strong Data Transformation Backbone
To support self-service, the hybrid solution needs to have a strong data transformation backbone that enables users to create complex data mappings, transformations, and data interchange. AI-based mapping mechanism plays a significant role here. It helps users create intelligent mappings to facilitate faster transformations.
6. Decide on IT Governance for Authorization and Access Management
When users are empowered through self- service, they can easily create workflows and manage connections themselves without excessively relying on IT. This makes IT free to focus on governance and control.
7. Provide Hybrid IT Integration Modes
Hybrid integration solutions streamline traditional IT functions while outsourcing others to cloud-based resources. This reduces the conflict and supports traditional and emerging integration needs with agility and control.
8. A Single Vendor Approach May Not Be Optimal
Lastly, relying on a single vendor and adopting a “HIP in a box” approach may trigger risks in relation to technology maturity, technical inconsistency, and more. As per Gartner, adopting a combination of building blocks from different vendors is preferable.
Technically, it is not feasible to migrate all applications to a cloud environment. To capitalize on opportunities, organizations should ensure continuous connectivity to integrate cloud and on-premise data. Adeptia’s hybrid cloud integration has been strategically designed to deliver this business efficiency for your enterprise.
This hybrid integration solution is responsible for delivering the full advantage for creating easy cloud to ground integration connections and ensuring the flow of data between people, processes, and companies, thereby accelerating time-to-market and revenue realization.
Hub & Spoke Model: Leverages a distribution paradigm which allows enterprises (hubs) to get connected with partners (spokes). Hubs publish the data which the partners can consume. Published rules define how the data will be received by partners.
Citizen Integration: A comprehensive cloud to on-premise or ground to cloud solution built for everyone. Delivers dynamic self-service capabilities to accelerate client onboarding process by up to 80%.
Any-to-Any Integration Backbone: Delivers mission-critical any-to-any integration capabilities to integrate applications of any kind, anywhere in few minutes.
IT Governance: Enables teams to monitor published connection templates and get more visibility of people, processes, and technologies. Monitoring dashboard and configuration wizards help in reducing downtimes and errors.
Data Transformation: Provides artificial intelligence (AI) led capabilities that make automatic mapping recommendations and speed up data transformation.
Data Security: Protects sensitive data going downstream with end-to-end encrypted environment. Secures all data that is transferred and exchanged internally or externally.
Adeptia’s hybrid integration architecture is a crackerjack solution for complex enterprise integration needs.
