IBM App Connect Enterprise
(IBM Integration Bus (IIB))
Integrate Systems and Applications to Achieve Business Value
Support agility and innovation with a market-leading integration platform
Data that flows within your company and to/from customers and partners can be extremely valuable. Yet many organizations struggle to access and transform this data into actionable information.
Also, they face challenges keeping up with rapidly changing demands around this data. Whether it’s a new business partner that needing to access data in your ERP system, Finance needing access to an HR application, integration between your CRM and eCommerce platform for customer data, or a variety of other needs — IT departments often struggle with the complexity of setting up and managing all of the connections.
Often, lack of integration and inflexible application connectivity are at the root of the problem. Enterprises may have dozens of applications that communicate in haphazard ways (if they are connected at all).
The applications and their connections are rigid, requiring hand-coded changes that are costly, error-prone, and time-consuming.
How App Connect Enterprise / IBM Integration Bus (IIB) Can Help
App Connect Enterprise is an award-winning enterprise integration solution that can help you overcome these challenges. App Connect Enterprise is the renamed version 11.0 of IIB. It’s the successor for companies using previous versions of IIB.
It provides the application connectivity that helps you simplify and manage connections between your IT assets—including legacy applications, packaged applications, and Web services—and quickly retrieve business-critical data from them. It enables you to:
- Connect virtually any application or service anywhere, over multiple protocols—including SOAP, HTTP, JMS, and more—helping you smooth the pathway towards SOA
- Expose and extend your existing applications to mobile devices
- Easily capture and monitor data for analysis as it flows through your business
