Introduction to iPaaS: What it is and why it’s important
Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) is a suite of cloud services enabling the development, execution, and governance of integration flows that connect any combination of on-premises and cloud-based processes, services, applications, and data within individual or across multiple organizations. iPaaS solutions are crucial for modern digital enterprises, facilitating seamless data orchestration, enabling organizations to build robust data pipelines, and implementing workflow automation effectively.
The role of data orchestration in enterprise architecture
Enterprise architects play a vital role in ensuring that an organization's IT infrastructure supports its business goals and they are increasingly required to guide strategic transformation decisions. However, with the ever-increasing pace of technology change and adoption, EAs face significant challenges when it comes to providing data-driven insights for stakeholders; siloed data, data latency, incomplete data, irrelevant data, and all of these are compounded if there is a lack of data governance.
As such, the platforms that they use must be able to orchestrate data from an array of sources across the enterprise, to provide the depth and breadth of insights that power decision-making. This data orchestration process - which comprises sourcing, aggregating, structuring, enriching, and governing data for decision analysis – is essential to enable decisions that drive desired business outcomes:
- Increasing competitiveness
- Reducing costs
- Creating new revenue streams
- Minimizing risks
- Boosting customer satisfaction
- Ensuring compliance with regulation
