Enterprises are becoming increasingly reliant on a myriad of different applications that are critical to daily
backend and frontend operations
The widespread use of APIs is viewed as the current balm to sooth the pain of integration – they are the components that will need
to be integrated and connected by iPaaS solutions
Containers and containerization will play an increasing role over the next few years, componentized integration is coming
Security concerns have largely been ignored by the integration space to date, which needs to change
There have been some major API management acquisitions by large app-centric companies – they will
eventually need to buy pipes that go with these head-ends
We are approaching the point where there is a need to manage these APIs for full-fledged integration, and these active acquirers
will need to deliver more robust integration solutions for their clients – 36% of organizations currently use +3 integration platforms
Application and data integration are critical operational building blocks in organizations of all sizes
Large, global, sophisticated enterprises count on the seamless integration of information between applications so they can
improve decision making and not be slowed down by bottlenecks or a lack of intercommunication
Due to affordable solutions, SMBs are now able to participate in the integration revolution that was once reserved for large
enterprises; SMBs need effective integration to remain competitive with larger players
The Critical Question for integration / iPaaS vendors: how to get paid for the difficult work that they are performing
› Companies continue to buy applications and then realize they have an integration project, but no budget remaining for
implementation
Telecom continues to be much more efficient than Datacom at movement and integration – what can
Datacom learn?

In order to get the most out of applications, they need to be able to communicate with a common
language that connects them
It requires an incredible amount of overhead for developers to learn all of the unique languages of each
application
Integration solutions are the “translators” behind the scenes allowing these applications to work together
Application Integration
› Integration is the medium that allows different
applications to share information and incorporate a
dynamic workflow
Seamlessly connects CRM, eCommerce, ERP, finance,
cloud, marketing and other services applications
Many integration platforms exhibit the same
advantageous characteristics of SaaS applications
Multi-tenancy, agile, scalable, quickly deployed

Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) – The Last Wave – Made 3
Tier Architecture Productive
Source: TechTarget, elastic.io
Enterprise Service Bus solutions were pioneers
in the integration landscape
ESBs were some of the original software
platform that were used to reduce enterprise
application integration complexity
iPaaS and ESBs complement each other to help
drive innovation – iPaaS can be used to augment
legacy ESB solutions
ESBs are middleware tools that distribute work
among connected components of applications
Key element that holds together the complex
internal architectures of large enterprises
Simplifies the process of adding or changing the
components of an application
Improves load balancing
Provides failover support
ESBs were initially developed for connecting with
legacy on-premise applications
With widespread proliferation of SaaS, ESBs have
evolved and can now support APIs and be cloud-
enabled
iPaaS has emerged as the more popular solution
recently because of its inherent structural
advantages and wider range of use cases
iPaaS multi-tenancy can reduce infrastructure and
admin costs by up to 40%
Ad-hoc integrations need the speedy, agile
deployments without having to go through IT
department that iPaaS can offer
ESB does not work well outside of an
organization’s four walls
iPaaS has greater applicability for IoT and mobility
Representative Companies
iPaaS is starting to consume the ESB Market – how far will it go? Today it is driven by costs and
productivity improvements however the new solutions often face government, compliance, and
security concerns that they are unprepared to solve

iPaaS or “cloud-based integration” provides the background architecture for delivering software
without the requirement of simultaneously building and supporting server environments
Provides full lifecycle control over applications and services with all platform management happening in one
place
› Combines multiple platforms by connecting applications and resources to create a consistent structure
› Must be able to integrate private and public clouds as well as on-premise applications and data sources
Deployment solutions are available to ensure the iPaaS solution gets up and running successfully, while
monitoring and management solutions help it stay that way
› “Elastic Integration” allows for scaling servers up and down depending on workloads to maximize efficiency
iPaaS has become the “integration tool of choice” in recent years as it offers dynamic integration for
cloud-based systems of engagement
Ideal for advanced SoEs that have ever-changing backend interfaces
Results in faster time-to-value with real-time updates
There are multiple ways to provide these cloud-
based integration solutions
Competing methodologies between companies that
use open-source components vs. build their own
› Talend and MuleSoft leverage open-source

iPaaS Market Growing at an Impressive Rate
Cloud applications have a different set of requirements than on-premise applications, thus a new
class of connector and style of integration is born
Markets and Markets estimated the enterprise iPaaS market at $528 million in 2016, continuing to grow over
40% per year reaching $3B by 2021
iPaaS is a relatively nascent software sector that is still developing industry-altering technology
› Shown promising growth in recent years and not expected to slow until after the market hits $1B mark
iPaaS is the newest niche integration market and is growing the fastest relative to its peers, but other
integration markets are much larger and more mature
Message-oriented middleware, managed file transfer, ESB all grew at less than 10% in 2016
The mature integration market is massive, and iPaaS can grow by augmenting these existing integration
solutions, resulting in more integration vendors entering the iPaaS market
› Start-ups are choosing to focus on iPaaS- related point-solutions to take advantage of the booming industry
Informatica is the current market leader, claiming ~20% market share, but Gartner is already aware of 70 iPaaS
vendors, many of which were too small to include in its most recent report
› Relatively fragmented industry with plenty of point solutions finding their niche and continuing to grow
Favorable market conditions are aiding growth of booming iPaaS industry
iPaaS solutions are no longer too expensive for SMB customers, resulting in a larger potential market
As IoT matures and businesses become more dependent on connected devices, there will be increased demand
for a dynamic, cloud-based integration solutions
Mobility trends will lead to convergence of API management and mBaaS industries
MSPs, systems integrators, and application vendors are developing products and services that rely on iPaaS

Low-Code Changing the Integration Game
The concept of “Low-code” can be applied to many software sectors and have different implications
“Low-code” empowers business users and non-IT personnel to work directly with backend systems, requiring little
or no coding ability
Adjustments can be made in minutes, rather than weeks, making it an ideal integration solution for constantly
changing business environments
Empowers “citizen developers” and aligns decision makers in enterprises directly with the software they depend on
iSaaS (integration-software-as-a-service) is similar to iPaaS, but where integration flows are prebuilt, leaving only
configuration up to the user
In the case of integration, low-code reduces the need for an IT department to integrate enterprise
applications and workflows
Often includes drag-and-drop functionality for an easily customizable backend integration that allows multiple
applications to communicate in a desired manner
For SMBs with limited IT resources, a low-code integration system can be a necessary self-serve solution
Low-code integration offerings mitigate user-error, but may not completely eliminate IT departments
Security, data quality, governance, and workflow management are complex issues that are critical to business
performance and are often not fully addressed in low-code solutions
Low-code connectors only exist for the most common cases and do not scale with the rapid growth of data
sources and new apps
Citizen integrators run the risk of doing more harm than good if business decisions are based upon poorly
integrated data – IT support can help ensure quality

Representative Companies
Data integration addresses the structural, semantic, and syntactical
conflicts that come with combining diverse datasets
Hand-coding is still a common method of data transfer among enterprises
despite existing data integration tools
As companies look to adopt business intelligence and analytics platforms,
data integration serves as the underlying engine fueling these platforms,
increasing existing asset value
Key data integration challenges: performance, speed, orchestration into a
master workflow, monitoring, supportability
Data integration is the backbone of a good analytics platform needed to
make intelligent business decisions
Central data warehouses can return outdated data if queries are sent before
the extract, transform, load (ETL) process re-executes a synchronization
Queries over a mediated schema allow direct communication with data
sources providing real time data
“Wrappers” or adapter patterns act as a converter that allows the source data
to be read by external interfaces without translating the original data
AI and metadata management allow previously unusable sources to
provide valuable data
Intelligent data processing and management creates additional use cases for data
integration such as NLP and narrative sciences

Big Data Integration
Integrating big data requires an additional layer of
complexity
Many big data integration solutions are compatible with popular
databases such as MongoDB and Cassandra, which often use the
Hadoop platform
Difficult projects with high failure rate due to inherent complexities
of big data
Need to tap into the massive data repositories in big data
processing engines
Big data integration platforms connect enterprise applications with
these repositories so Companies can easily extract insight through
analytics and perform operations without manually uploading data
Many Hadoop plug-ins exist, but few are true data integration
solutions capable of managing workflows between multiple data
sources
Critical capabilities that are necessary for integrating big
data:
Enterprise-grade solution with sufficient security and monitoring
Real-time ingestion for the most up-to-date analytics
Proper governance to avoid leakage
Special attention to data veracity ensures data is useful to end-
users

Data Lakes
Data lakes provide schema-less storage for structured and unstructured data (both internal and external)
in one centralized location and serve as an extension of data integration
No filtering and little-to-no transformation is done to the data before entering the lake unlike the data warehousing
process, saving cost and allowing data of every form and source to be stored in one location
Data lakes are ideal for data landing and staging
› Users push sources of data to data lakes to perform data quality and management
Data lakes remove a degree of separation normally introduced by the data warehousing process, giving data
scientists access to the unadulterated data
Deployed on existing big data vendor platforms such as Hadoop, AWS, Microsoft Azure, or NoSQL
Source: TDWI, BigData Dimension
Advanced business intelligence and data analytics
tools were the keys that unlocked data lakes
Insights could not be extracted from an unorganized
and cluttered storage space
› Data warehousing was a necessary first step
before feeding any analytics software
Modern analytics can process the more raw data
stored in a lake and gain better insight without the
warehousing step
As concerns about the lack of data governance
subside, integration emerges as a top priority
32% of TDWI survey respondents cite a lack of
existing data integration tools as their biggest concern
in adopting data lake storage
15.
Integration is one of the top two problems that teams face when developing high-quality APIs
Agile, continuous integration is crucial with APIs that are constantly changing so organizations do not have to
frequently restructure their backend whenever they update APIs
Improvements in enterprise integration of APIs will continue to drive the API industry’s growth
› 28% of respondents to a SmartBear survey consider enterprise integration as the factor that will drive the most
API growth over the next two years
The big players have already commoditized the API management market – if API Management becomes the
dominate metaphor for integration it could in-turn commoditize other backed integration solutions

API Management
API management answers a different set of questions raised by
the rapidly growing API environment
APIs can be managed much like data and application messages
are in an iPaaS Platform
› Many iPaaS vendors are also a leader in both API
management and iPaaS
› For Companies like Boomi, MuleSoft and Jitterbit, participating
in API management is a way to eat into the ESB business
API managers provide a central platform where developers are
able to manage all of their APIs in one central location
› Capabilities include managing users, monitoring and analyzing
traffic, implementing governing policies and security measures,
and API monetization, versioning, and throttling

Need for secure, consistent data flow from all of the
applications to the thousands of mobile devices that
are used in large enterprises
Large enterprise software vendors now provide
highly functional mobile applications
For these applications to work at their full capacity,
they need to be seamlessly integrated into a mobile

Integration Security Considerations
Enterprise-crippling security issues are still on
the rise with frightening frequency and
consequences
Ransomware attacks have become mainstream
Nearly 1.4 billion data records were lost or stolen in
2016 – up 86% over the previous year
Companies lose >$150 on average each time a
single record containing sensitive information is lost
or stolen
As applications become more integrated, the
consequences of a security threat become
greater
Data integration outside of a firewall is a major
concern for clients utilizing cloud-based solutions
Traditional network perimeter security technologies
are no longer sufficient as the foundation of
enterprise information security strategies
Securing the data itself is the most effective
solution, not firewalls
Widespread integration changes how organizations have to think about security
Source: Linthicum Research, Breach level Index 2016, Ponemon Institute Cost of a Data Breach Study
Integration between cloud based apps can take
place in the secure iPaaS cloud, reducing
network exposure to cloud internet exchanges
The unique positioning and structure of iPaaS
make it the ideal place to implement security and
governance protocols
iPaaS provides a secure proxy for
communications involving on-premise applications
Connectors are independent from each other and
can be upgraded or changed without overhauling
the entire security platform
Maintaining more security measures and
governance policies in one place is beneficial
Security measures can be controlled by the iPaaS
vendor or qualified third party through a unified
integration platform
No need to maintain multiple integration tools and
their respective security measures
Simplifies complex security systems to make
maintenance and monitoring more effective
18.

Integration Requires a High Degree of Compliance
In highly regulated industries such as financial
services or healthcare, integration can be crucial in
helping customers comply with regulations
Compliance regulations are constantly changing and
integration solutions need to keep up
It is a major selling point for providers that can promise
improved compliance with their solution
Goes hand-in-hand with data security issues
› Must reduce risk associated with PCI, PHI, PII or
other sensitive data
› Large fines will continue to increase as a result of
impending European GDRP regulations going into
effect May 2018
Often requires industry or context-specific knowledge
Rising popularity of industry-specific integration solutions
that are built for the inherent nuances that come with a
vertical
For example, patient medical records have unique
different compliance needs than social security numbers
› All types of personal data needs to remain secure, but
a working knowledge of the regulations associated
with each will help avoid unnecessary penalties
Source: Liaison, Deloitte
Movement to the cloud and widespread SaaS
applications are adding an extra layer of
compliance complexity
Increased data transfer between a greater number of
applications puts additional burden on administrators
to ensure compliance
Must be easily auditable to ensure no breaches
› Integration solutions provides greater visibility into
data flows
Compliance is becoming increasingly complex and
organizations are looking for third parties to assist
Significant portions of budgets are set aside to ensure
and improve compliance, leaving ample money up for
grabs for integration solution providers
› Over a third of compliance budgets are between
$1M and $10M annually
In a world where the boundaries of the organization are falling away and security is migrating to the
data level, perhaps integration/data management becomes the control point in the organization

Boomi Acquisition: Key in Defining Integration Space
Rationale:
“Today's announcement represents another step by Dell
to build a technology portfolio for growing businesses
seeking the benefits of web-based computing while
addressing one of the top barriers to cloud adoption -
managing and integrating cloud-based applications with
existing applications and databases” – Acquirer Press
Release
Boomi: Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service
Provides on-demand application integration solutions with its
flagship product AtomSphere, an Integration Cloud that
connects different combinations of SaaS, PaaS, cloud, and
on-premise applications. It offers its solution for business-to-
business applications and data integration initiatives; and
Salesforce, NetSuite, Taleo, SAP, Dynamics Great Plains,
Zuora, electronic data interchange/supply chain
management, RightNow, SuccessFactors, Oracle E-
Business suite, and Workday users
In November 2010, Fred Joseph and AGC Partners sold Boomi to Dell; the acquisition was a strategic play as Dell recognized
iPaaS’ market potential and has since established itself as one of the leaders in this lucrative space. Boomi was a pioneer in the
iPaaS market and has remained a successful business unit for Dell ever since; in 2013, Boomi reported 263% YoY growth and
eclipsed the threshold of one million integrations per day; we believe that Boomi has exhibited a triple-digit growth rate throughout
Dell’s ownership
In March 2017, Boomi made its first strategic acquisition, buying ManyWho, a low-code enterprise application development software
Market Implications:
Boomi provided Dell with proprietary SaaS integration
technology that replaced Dell’s previous relationship
with Cast Iron after it was acquired by IBM. As one of
the first-movers in the iPaaS industry, Dell provided
Boomi with the superior resources of a large strategic
technology player, which has resulted in Boomi’s rise to
the top of the integration landscape

Successful Recent Integration IPOs
Talend and Mulesoft have been rare bright spots in the tech-IPO-market over the past two relatively
lackluster years, emphasizing the positive reputation that integration companies have in the public markets
While there are other long-established public companies that provide integration solution (IBM, Progress),
MuleSoft and Talend are some of the first companies with their primary solution being integration-based
Talend is a big data Company that provides a platform to address IT integration needs, and Mulesoft
provides iPaaS solutions for connecting applications and data sources
Talend and MuleSoft’s success in the public markets (7.7x and 13.7x EV / LTM Revenue multiples,
respectively) will bring notoriety to the integration market and lead to more companies entering the sector
The private investment in the sector will presumably continue now that the public market has validated sector
valuations and exposed the IPO as a viable exit opportunity for these types of companies

Largest Disclosed M&A Deals
Highlights & Key Takeaways
The integration M&A landscape is
highlighted by the two recent, massive take-
private transactions of Informatica and
TIBCO by PE-firms
These multi-billion dollar mega-
transactions were still at impressive
revenue and EBITDA multiples
These companies may use their PE-
backers to continue acquiring smaller
solutions to build out their platforms
Large application companies Google and
CA have shown a desire to own API
management solutions
API management solutions can be
leveraged for their proprietary
applications as well as a new revenue
stream
Active consolidation efforts spurred by
some doubt that API Management is a
viable stand-alone market
Challenging industry in niche tech space
without head-end pipes

Highlights & Takeaways
Consistent private funding activity
testament to investor bullishness on
integration space
High concentration of small funding
rounds; investors taking low-risk
gambles on point solutions
M&A activity in the integration market
has not been quite as active, as the
market is still figuring itself out
Gartner expects the iPaaS market to
begin to consolidate over the next
few years
Drivers of Acquisition
and Investment
As the market heats up, investors will
want to get in early before too much
saturation
Cost of winning new clients will
increase and heavily funded
companies will mature and look for
exit opportunities
Recent IPOs of MuleSoft and Talend
may entice companies to test the
public markets rather than waiting for
acquisition
