As software and solutions of every kind head to the cloud at breakneck speed, it’s more important than ever for companies to be able to integrate their data where it lives and breathes. We will break down integration platform as a service (iPaaS) and cloud services brokerage (CSB), two services that are taking integration to the cloud.
In this webinar you'll discover:
• How iPaaS and CSB are improving the integration landscape
• Where the two cloud integration technologies differ
• Which one is right for your company!
4. @LiaisonTech@LiaisonTech
What is iPaaS?
Definition
A platform which enables developers and practitioners
alike to configure and implement integration projects
involving multiple endpoints and processes.
Types of Functionality
• Support for (and bridging between) a variety of
connectivity protocols and data/message delivery styles
• Data/message mapping and transformation
• Adapter developer toolkits
• API management
• Prepackaged integration flows
6. @LiaisonTech@LiaisonTech
What is CSB?
6(1) Source: Gartner.
A cloud services brokerage is a business model in
which a company adds value to one or more (generally
public or hybrid, but possibly private) cloud services on
behalf of consumers of those services(1)

Data or apps?
Business Strategy enabled through an
“Application Centric” IT approach
(SAP, Oracle, etc.)
Data/information is an artifact of
business applications and is used to
validate and optimize business strategy
Integration is subservient to the needs of
the applications

Information driven Business Strategy is
“Data / Information centric”
Applications capture, collect and filter data/information.
Applications can be changed as needed and the
data/information is the “High Value” asset
Integration facilitates the ability to change applications
and consolidate data. It is critical to the information

• Supplier information

• General Ledger
• Customer Master
• HR / Employee Data

Data “overload” example: social media
Every minute there are:
• 277,000 tweets
• 72 hours of new video uploaded to YouTube
• 4 million queries received by Google
• 2,460,000 pieces of content shared on Facebook

Mass customization & data
Mass customization offers:
• Economies of scope versus
economies of scale
• Variety and customization through
flexibility and responsiveness
• Platform leverage with components
assembled based on customer needs
• Heterogeneous niches
• Low cost, high quality tailored
solutions and services
Mass customization is based on the premise that people don’t want choice
(or to have to make choices) but rather want exactly what they specified.

In Summary
Organizations should center their platform decision strategy
around the question of whether to be data-centric or
application-centric
Nobody knows what data will be available, or from what
sources, in the future to provide exciting and fresh insights
to the global supply chain
It’s critical to identify and choose a platform with both data
integration and data management requirements in mind

Use case #6: Integrated Supply Chain
This is Mohawk Fine Papers as this is the one named use case we’re using
Doesn’t have to be blind
Liaison is their CSB and acts as the integration backbone and single point of contact for all IT services within Mohawk and with many hundreds of customers, trading partners, and cloud service providers.
This is another one very transactionally based and A2A/B2B integration so not sure how you want to spin it except to say that our integration capabilities are far reaching across an entire ecosystem, lots of platforms, document formats, and trading partners’ systems.
Mohawk is using our CSB for:
B2B integration
A2A integration
MFTaaS (master file transfer-as-a-service)
SaaS (Mohawk is consuming a wide range of business applications as services, performed in the cloud)
DaaS (process data-based transactions like shipping quotes or credit checks in the cloud)

Use case #3: Translation of Japanese doctor’s notes for context
Did this project about a year ago
Major pharma wants to understand how often their medication is prescribed/mentioned in handwritten Japanese doctor’s notes
In addition:
Where it is geographically subscribed
What context it is subscribed in
What diseases most often associated with in notes
We first translate Japanese raw text (pharma notes) and other information into English
Then use NLP (natural language processing) to take in surrounding words from form and apply context so that conclusions can be drawn
We’re taking unstructured text and turn it into actionable information
More information can be found at 33:19 of Brad’s Liaison Learning session: https://liaison.com/intranet/learning-sessions/big-data
Use case #4: Unified data analytics
This is a pharmaceutical but reminder that you wanted it moved to another industry since we’re so pharma-heavy (I had suggested financial)
We capture data from 7 analytics providers (logos in PPT) and aggregate and harmonize into a single data model for unified viewing and reporting
This dramatically increases speed at which this valuable marketing information is delivered across the business
With holistic view at their fingertips, client is able to better understand trends and target potential customers
