Integration Is Key To Business Success
SAP News, Friday, May 5,2023
Organizations are investing millions to digitize everything from supply chains to human resources. This can result in multiple applications that create siloed processes and data. Even more complex, companies' IT landscapes exist in the cloud, on premise, or, more likely, a hybrid of both.
The volume of applications and mixed landscape is complex and costly, and this 'spaghetti landscape' can be an obstacle to digital transformation.
That's where integration capabilities become a critical success factor. Analyst firm IDC released its 'IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud Integration Software and Services (iPaaS) 2023 Vendor Assessment.' The report found that 'Integration is a foundational connectivity automation technology that not only unlocks immediate business benefits but also replaces technical debt that was previously used to connect applications, making it easier to replace outdated legacy applications.'
Additionally, the IDC report said, 'Despite economic conditions, many organizations are still prioritizing investments in connectivity-based automation, particularly cloud-based integration software and services.'
