Organization-wide integration and automation are on the rise. As businesses move to support more permanent work-from-anywhere structures interest is growing in software that makes it easy for any department to integrate and automate actions. Integration Platform as a Service, also known as iPaaS, is an integration and automation solution that does just that. With iPaaS you can bring together separate systems that don’t normally communicate with each other. As a result, organizations can realize a number of benefits. Here are the top 5 benefits of using iPaaS for your integration and automation needs:
If those five benefits aren’t convincing enough, here are a couple more. Did you know iPaaS can help improve communication throughout your organization? As you know, businesses need to share data throughout their entire ecosystem to avoid any important information from being lost. iPaaS ensures that everyone has easy access to that data, leaving no room for misinterpretation. Additionally, iPaaS helps with security and compliance.
Security is easily one of the greatest concerns for a cloud-enabled solution. Did you know the average company uses more than 300 APIs to support critical business functions and pass data between systems? While APIs can provide critical functionality, they’re also vulnerable to cyber-attacks. And with the average cost of cyberattacks rising to $4.6 million per incident, a business has to be vigilant about its security more than ever. With iPaaS you gain API management as well as the tools needed to create better, more secure connections to all of the systems you use daily.
Western University of Health Sciences has been using iPaaS to increase efficiencies and save time. David Mitchell, Enterprise Application Administrator, said they started by automating simple tasks, things like automatic VPN access for approved users, keeping assets up to date and reconciling data between Active Directory and Banner.
“A lot of these tasks aren’t tasks that are necessarily hard for anyone to do manually, it’s more that they are repetitive and time-consuming,” Mitchell said.
And that’s been one of the biggest draws for iPaaS. “You know, we don’t have a DeLorean to get time back,” Mitchell said referencing the popular time travel trilogy Back to the Future. “But, we do have iPaaS.”
By automating tasks, especially the repetitive ones, Mitchell said their technicians now have time to focus their attention on bigger issues. “We’ve been working in iPaaS since January (2021) and I feel like we’ve already come a long way and are saving time,” he said. “But there’s so much more we can do.”
On the roadmap for WesternU is creating onboarding and offboarding workflows; automated permissions granting for mailboxes, calendars, etc.; adding and removing people from distributions groups based on form inputs; and automatically generating tickets from phone calls.
For Mitchell, the codeless drag and drop functionality of iPaaS has really enabled him and his team to move quickly and creatively when it comes to building new workflows.
“I’m not a programmer at all,” Mitchell said. “I don’t know the programming languages, I’m kind of illiterate when it comes to that, but I like to call iPaaS Lego programming because you just snap everything together and it works.”
And because iPaaS has been so easy to use, it’s pushing Mitchell and his colleagues to come up with more ideas for ways it can be used, “We want to see what else we can do within our department and then branch out to other departments – especially the ones that are already doing heavy automation and transition them to iPaaS eventually.”
