Communication and Collaboration

IPaaS improves communication and collaboration in data integration by providing one unified platform for applications and systems to connect and exchange data. The alternative is a patchwork of bespoke scripts and brittle automation that could break easily when one product changes.

The platform simplifies the development and maintenance of integrations, reducing complexity and enabling teams to build and deploy automated data flows quickly. By making all of this easy and visible in one place, it makes the whole system easier to think about, discuss, and collaborate on.

No-code workflow

IPaaS allows staff to create and deploy integration processes and data flows without needing to write any code if they don’t want to. This enables non-technical team members like Sales and Marketing staff to manage their own data, reducing the need for hiring expensive developers or occupying the busy developers on staff.

By making those processes easy to alter and maintain, IPaaS enables teams to keep their data flows secure and up-to-date. They can reformat the data to get new insights and amend data flows when one of the third-party products involves changes.

More efficiency

IPaaS makes data integration more efficient by making processes more straightforward. Through IPaaS, teams can quickly and easily share data between systems. Without it, you’d need to be formatting and emailing large spreadsheets across the company, and having several copies of the sheet floating around could quickly get confusing. 

IPaaS can even make it possible to run real-time reporting from a single source of truth, so teams can easily see metrics like customer sentiment or sales ROI and respond in real-time.

A single solution with centralized management

If you have some good software developers on the team, it’s not very hard to join up the services you use with bespoke scripts and services.

But as the team grows, the entire company will rely on those developers to keep all of those scripts up to date with dozens of ever-changing products and services. As employees turnover, it could become hard to even find the script you need to alter.

IPaaS makes it easy for anyone in the team to manage data and services, and because it’s all in one place, you can add as many services as you need with no risk of losing track of them.

Scale

IPaaS makes data integration possible at scale. If you have many tools or a few tools in use by many individuals, it’s impossible to maintain integrations manually. To make it easy to manage so many data sources, you need them all on a single system. IPaaS makes it easy to make a change once it alters as many data flows as you need.
