A cloud integration platform allows organizations to integrate systems in a standardized way through APIs (application programming interfaces), supported by expert services. This standardization facilitates process automation and a harmonious data landscape. It helps to ensure that an organization doesn’t have multiple sources of truth for essential business data. It also facilitates digital transformation by laying a foundation that supports future complexity. Is cloud integration the same as middleware? Ultimately, cloud integration platforms and middleware are designed to solve the same problem. They both integrate different systems so they can share data efficiently. However, there’s one big difference: a cloud integration platform is… well, cloud-hosted! Meanwhile, middleware is traditionally hosted on-premises or in an outsourced data center. This difference comes with many other differences. Software updates. A cloud integration platform provider launches updates to their software automatically. They also cover processes like testing new releases before launch and fixing bugs in new releases. Middleware, on the other hand, may require your team (or outsourced support team) to evaluate and apply new releases as appropriate. This places the responsibility for break/fixes on your support team, while cloud integration places the responsibility on the platform provider’s development team. Cost model. As a cloud solution, an integration platform is typically sold with an implementation fee and an ongoing monthly service fee. The service fee may cover platform-level support, new releases, and more. Middleware, on the other hand, is typically sold with a one-time licensing fee. You are responsible for procuring hardware, implementing the software, and supporting it over the long haul. You may choose to cover these responsibilities in-house or through outsourcing. Scalability. Since they’re cloud-hosted, cloud integration solutions typically come with far better scalability than middleware. You can add more resources as required without investing in more hardware. Middleware is less scalable because it’s installed on your own or rent hardware. You may have to procure additional servers to scale up your data-handling capabilities with middleware. What’s the difference between APIs and a cloud integration platform? APIs (application programming interfaces) are the building blocks on which a cloud integration platform depends. A software system that comes with an API can be exposed to a cloud integration solution, facilitating integration with other systems. If cloud integration is a traffic intersection sending data to the right places, then APIs are the roads that lead to the intersection. Who supports a cloud integration solution? Great question. While cloud integration platforms come with a development team maintaining the platform, individual client solutions still require services to keep them running smoothly. You need experts who can scope, build, and refine your integrations. You also need people responding to errors and exceptions. In other words, you can try to support a cloud integration solution in-house—or you can hire a data integration service provider.
