Transform your Processes
In the digital world, your network is the key. Connecting your people, data and customers are critical. We can bring the cloud, network, data, and applications together, simply and securely. Which means you can focus on making your business more valuable.
Whether empowering your staff or solving your customer’s digital business problems, speed is critical and ideas need to become fully functional applications in minutes not months. Low-code, smart apps seamlessly integrate and tap into your Internet of Things fabric to coordinate sense and respond actions across people and systems, improving the performance of your business at the speed of innovation. Creating and delivering new engagement models and customer experiences are now easy and fast.
Make decisions in real time
With the continued rise of the Internet of Things and the rapidly increasing number of edge devices comes a huge amount of data that needs to be acted upon quickly. You no longer have to wait for data to return to your system. We put intelligence on the devices themselves, so you can derive insights and act in real-time.
Industry IoT Transformation
Internet of Things (IoT) early adopters will beat out the competition with a wealth of data that they will be able to act on before the competition even knows what hit them.
Ready to scale your IoT
Internet of Things (IoT) projects can involve a large number of devices, a proliferation of application programming interfaces (APIs), and large amounts of data — all of which can tax the traditional strategies, skills and technologies used by integration professionals.

Our recommended approach
Adopt an API-First Approach
An API-first strategy is particularly relevant to IoT projects because they rely heavily on mobile and cloud computing, technologies which already use an API-centric approach. This should not, however, be misinterpreted as an API-only approach. APIs alone do not sufficiently address all the capabilities needed to securely and reliably scale up the integration in large distributed systems.
Identify Communication Requirements for IoT Devices
First, identify how ‘things’ in your project will communicate, and select the best technology accordingly, ranging from cellular networks to short range wireless such as Bluetooth or ZigBee. It’s also important to consider factors such as the number, and type, of things and how different technologies will handle these variables. Then look for the network topology — considering the potential role for edge computing or gateways — that best suits the specific requirements for device autonomy, localized computing, device aggregation and so on. Once these areas have been qualified, it’s possible to assess whether a bundled IoT platform meets requirements for the project, or whether extra solutions will be needed to build a network for things.
Leverage Cloud for Data and Process Integration
This step focuses on integrating IoT platforms with core business processes. Most clients report that the built-in integration capabilities of their IoT platform are good enough for initial deployments. Consider using your IoT platform for the initial implementation and then use a commercial integration solution, like an iPaaS platform, to scale up the project or support more complex integration, to implement workflow, or multiple IoT projects, or to access advanced integration features such as high-performance, general-purpose translation.
Selectively Use Traditional Software
Most mid-to-large-sized organizations have substantial investments in traditional on-premises integration middleware. While these tools are generally not optimized for IoT device connectivity or cloud services integration, they can likely help if your project is on-premises, or if your IoT platform must integrate with data and applications that are mostly on-premises.
Ready to Build
API management capabilities vary widely in different IoT platforms or other types of middleware. At a minimum, you should plan for the possibility of adding a third-party API management solution to your IoT project, to ensure secure and reliable scaling as APIs proliferate. This is especially true if your project involves many APIs, or has APIs that connect with many consumers, are exposed on public networks, or return sensitive or restricted data. IoT projects are often associated with disruptive business models and in the excitement, an appreciation of the potential complexity can be lost. To avoid disappointment, integration leaders must address the diverse integration requirements for IoT projects.
Customize Everything & Extract Value from your Data
Connected devices are enhanced with temperature, moisture, light, motion, location and other types of sensors which produce the so-called status data, which is, in a nutshell, just a stream of values that should be filtered, analyzed and managed effectively. In order to use raw data for business processes automation and optimization, we need to turn it into actionable data – that is, enable IoT gadgets to automatically execute an action (send alert notifications to managers and users, turn on the lights, order equipment parts that will soon need replacement, etc.) once a certain type of behavior is registered.
