What is an iPaaS and Why Do I Need One?

Reading Time: < 1 minute

With the upsurge in use of SaaS apps, organizations now have increasingly more applications that need to be connected—but, traditional integration methods aren’t cutting it. They’re too expensive, not very fast, and often can’t accommodate hybrid cloud-to-ground, ground-to-cloud, or cloud-to-cloud connections.

Many  are finding a solution in iPaaS—integration platform as a service—to meet their modern connection needs. In fact, Gartner says that by 2019, iPaaS will be the integration platform of choice for new integration projects, overtaking traditional software platforms for the first time.*

But what exactly is an iPaaS and why is this the tool of choice to solve today’s pervasive integration needs?

This on-demand webinar by O’Reilly walks through exactly what an iPaaS is and demos how a good iPaaS can set the foundation for an organization’s digital transformation to improve operations, drive innovation, and delight customers.

The webinar debunks several iPaaS myths, including that it’s much more than just ETL, not just for integration specialists, not just for connecting cloud services, and much more.
