What is Integration Platform as a Service?
iPaaS stands for Integration Platform as a Service and provides organisations with the ability to create and deploy system and application integration quickly and easily. It can facilitate integrations between cloud-to-cloud application integration, as well as hybrid integration environments for cloud to on-premises and on-premises to cloud integration scenarios. BPA Platforms' iPaaS solution provides additional business logic allowing you to automate business processes that are unique to your organisation.
Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) is a hosted service that enables organisations to build, develop and integrate system data and applications to enable cloud-based, on-premises systems and cloud-to-cloud applications to talk to each other. Integration Platform as a Service reduces system integration development times and costs and can support integration with any data source, whilst providing the flexibility needed to maintain, configure and adapt data synchronisation patterns, as and when business requirements change.
Why iPaaS?
Cloud-based SaaS applications are easy for employees to deploy without the need for IT specialists. IT teams are now often left out of the buying or implementation process, as any department can identify SaaS solutions that are fit for a specific purpose. The downside is that when an organisation has multiple data sources, data becomes disconnected from business objectives.
Codeless Platforms' iPaaS system provides IT professionals with the tools to gain control of company data by increasing data visibility, improving data consistency and reducing repetitive data entry tasks through advanced process automation, helping to improve performance and company output.

Cloud-to-cloud iPaaS
Cloud-to-cloud iPaaS means that all system data is held in the cloud through Software as a Service (SaaS) and/or Platform as a Service (PaaS) applications with exposed APIs. Cloud-based integration with iPaaS tools, such as Codeless Platforms' iPaaS system, allows you to connect disparate cloud applications that may have been purchased from individual departments for a specific requirement. SaaS and PaaS applications can include business solutions, such as CRM and ERP systems, email marketing applications, service management solutions and eCommerce web stores.
Hybrid Cloud Integration
Hybrid cloud integration provides data synchronisation between cloud to on-premises and on-premises to cloud sources to create a hybrid iPaaS environment. Data held within cloud-based applications and outside of primary on-premises sources, such as custom enterprise databases, warehouse applications or legacy systems, need to be seamlessly integrated to ensure data consistency. Integration Platform as a Service provides you with a secure data gateway to facilitate seamless hybrid integration scenarios and puts you back in control over the data that is passed between all business systems.
