The Brave New World of aPaaS

and iPaaS

• As per Gartner’s prediction, by 2016 most of the SMBs and Enterprises will adopt iPaaS.

• The booming SaaS market needs sophisticated smart iPaaS and aPaaS solutions to perform seamless integration between apps on cloud at a cheap subscription rate.

• Key Cloud Innovations are taking place in the domain of Cloud Enabled Integration Platform (CEIP) and Cloud Enabled Application Platform (CEAP).

• Dell-Boomi, IBM-Cast Iron, SnapLogic, Queplix, Jitterbit -- are the major iPaaS players purpose built from ground up for serving SaaS and On-Premise Legacy App Integration.

• Its important to note : why AAA chose Dell-Boomi over Cast-Iron and Jitterbit - http://searchdatamanagement.techtarget.com/news/2240114684/AAA-picks-Dell-Boomi-cloud-integration-tools-over-IBM-Jitterbit

• Clearly Dell-Boomi is leading the iPaaS Market !

New Players - Front Runners ..

• MuleSoft and Tibco ActiveMatrix are great examples of how long-term ESB players quickly transforming themselves itself into Cloud Enabled Integration Environment - like MuleiON.

• But they are lacking the Web-based Integration Designer, which is primary requirement for enabling SMBs creating a SaaS integration.

Old Players – Transforming fast ..

• The CEIP or CEAP transformation is crucial for the survival of original PaaS majors like EngineYard, LongJump.

• In future, mere on-premise ESB / BPM offerings (cordys, sonic, fiorano ) are not just enough unless served from Cloud for Cloud !
