Meet iPaaS: Empowering teams for integration success

You have a gold mine of data in your systems, but silos prevent you from accessing it. Without this data, business decisions become a guessing game or, worse, based on inaccuracies. 

Freeing your data is essential for future growth. When your systems are integrated, all teams can access this data–enabling quicker responses to market changes.

The problem is integrating your systems can be difficult, especially if you have to rely solely on your IT teams to build and manage integrations. In fact, 89% of organizations say they have an integration backlog. 

So, how do you empower both your IT and business teams to drive integration and automation efforts? That’s where Celigo’s iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) comes in. 

Let’s dive into what an iPaaS is, key features of Celigo’s iPaaS, common use cases, and the benefits of choosing Celigo as your integration solution. 

What is an iPaaS?

Gartner defines iPaaS as “a suite of cloud services enabling development, execution, and governance of integration flows connecting any combination of on premises and cloud-based processes, services, applications, and data.” Traditional iPaaS solutions typically require technical resources to build and manage integrations. 

An advanced iPaaS, like Celigo, goes further to enable business users to build, manage, and monitor their own integrations. This prevents bottlenecks and allows the entire team to drive innovation.

Key features

Celigo provides a single, AI-enabled platform for integration and business process automation. It has a variety of features that can help both IT and business teams drive transformation at scale. 

With a library of prebuilt connectors embedded with business logic and an intuitive low-code user interface, non-technical users can quickly set up new integrations, while IT teams can ensure compliance and data security. Developers can also leverage the platform’s robust capabilities to create and manage complex flows. 

AI is at the heart of Celigo’s iPaaS, and one of the biggest components of that is error management. Error management can be a frustrating and time consuming process, so we built an error management tool that automatically resolves 95% of errors. 

By embedding AI into our platform, we also created an intuitive development partner that bridges the knowledge gap between technical and non-technical users. This helps increase collaboration and ensure smooth handoffs.
