The foraging ground for on-premise middleware is diminishing. Learn how API's, IoT and Mobile will enable iPaaS to win the fight for survival.

9. Advantages of Cloud
Services Over
Traditional Software
• Subscription model easier to consume (although TCO may be
similar)
• Fast set up – no infrastructure, no deployment, minimal
configuration
• High ease of use – most Cloud services are self service
• Less time and financial investment – easier to replace if it
doesn’t work

10. Five Reasons
iPaaS will be more
relevant than ESB
1. Security in the Cloud is improving
2. Endpoints are migrating
3. Endpoints are proliferating
4. Everything needs an API
5. Agile integration is becoming vital

11. #1: Security in the
Cloud is Improving
High profile hacks and government snooping
have created demand for better security in Cloud.

12. #1: Security in the
Cloud is Improving
Mega were first to offer end-to-end encryption
in file sync & share category.

13. #1: Security in the
Cloud is Improving
IBM patented a technique around homomorphic
encryption in Jan 2014.

14. Pre-Cloud Apps lived on
the ground.
#2: Endpoints are
Migrating

15. Today, an increasing number
of apps are moving to the Cloud.

16. Today, an increasing number
of apps are moving to the Cloud.
In the future, we’ll run very
little on the ground.

17. #2: Endpoints are
Migrating
No serious software vendor is ignoring Cloud.
ERP is possibly the most Cloud-resistant category
in software yet these vendors have all built
Cloud-based ERP.

Proliferating
In IoT, Things will route home across the Internet.
iPaaS offers:
• High availability
• Elasticity

20. #3: Endpoints are
Proliferating
Horex Superbike is an IoT Thing!
• Bad weather alerts
• Engine status
• Maintenance information
• Wheel spin warning
• Curve lean angle

21. #4: API’s for
Services
and Software
API’s provide a structured way to engage with a product or
system and make it possible to consume data from afar.
Virtually all modern API’s are web API’s so middleware no
longer needs to sit next to its endpoints. ESB no longer has
this advantage over iPaaS.

22. #4: API’s for
Enterprise
Enterprise API’s provide a wrapper around an
organisations’ digital assets.
Exposing an Enterprise API requires abstraction of multiple
underlying systems. That layer is called API Management –
a capability that is native to almost all iPaaS platforms.

23. Emily Bell, the Guardian News & Media director of digital content, described
Open Platform as a "new chapter in our history and a new foundation for
the future of our journalism".
Open Platform allows Guardian content "to be woven into the fabric of the
internet" as people outside the organisation saw the value of adding
Guardian content to their projects.

Enterprise

24. #5: Agile
Integration is
Becoming Vital
The Agile Enterprise makes decisions and executes on
them quickly.
Those decisions filter down to systems and services so it’s
crucial that the integration layer can keep pace.

25. #5: Agile
Integration is
Becoming Vital
iPaaS supports Agile Enterprise by:
• Reducing time to implement - no hand coding
• Providing a single platform - no fragmented toolsets
• Built-in capability for connecting across networks – no VPN’s,
file transfers
• Ease of iteration – no onerous “SDLC”
