Bridging Business Processes – By Connecting Endpoints

Evolution and Expansion of Enterprise IT Systems has produced numerous applications over years. Some of them were short lived but some of them have survived and are still playing critical roles in enterprises. In the last decade, the inflow of such applications has increased many-fold primarily due to strong focus on SAAS based offerings. Plenty of start-ups and established Tech companies have started realizing the merits of Cloud and connected world of web and hence have begun to leverage these to construct solution for business problems. This has been a tremendous help to enterprises.

Organizations have finally been able to get niche business solutions that they always have been looking for. Its just that every organization is unique and that no single application or packaged solution can solve there every business problem. Although the explosion of SAAS apps have been a great help to enterprises, it has also resulted in numerous business nodes scattered meaninglessly. Not only it is hard to manage the influx of these but it is also tough to leverage their full benefit when needed. This has often resulted in duplication of business logic.

It is true that most of the applications provide APIs but usually their dependency on platform and technology poses several challenges for utility applications to freely integrate with them. Moreover, the ever frequent version and upgrades of these software have made it even more difficult for enterprises to maintain their integrated environments efficiently and cost effectively.

With experience, we have realized the following facts:

  1. Every enterprise is unique, is made of People, Processes and Technology and has a unique business need.
  2. No one single packaged application can fulfill that. Out-of-box solutions sound great but are often insufficient in addressing the exact business need.
  3. Customizations on these applications are usually very costly. Upgrades, which are inevitable, make them even costlier.
  4. Every application has a specific role to play in an enterprise’s eco-system; immense value can be generated only if these different applications can talk to each other seamlessly.

Keeping all these factors in mind, we realized that there is a huge scope for solutions that can overcome these shortcomings and deliver a promise to an enterprise. And after years of planning, thought and shared experience with our past customers, we came up with a foundation that can address these challenges for an enterprise.
