The key elements of enterprise integration

• Data is the important information contained across various applications. Data collected in an integrated environment is used for analysis and metrics to gain insights that weren't available otherwise.

• Application programming interfaces (APIs) enable data transfers across disparate systems. APIs share the services and data of an application with any other server, making them one of the key components of any integration strategy.

• Messaging shares and delivers information both within and outside of network boundaries.

• Events are simply records of an action or a change. When one application or service takes action or undergoes a change, that is an event. Other systems can then detect and act on that event by performing their own actions. This chain reaction is key to building value in an integrated environment.

• iPaaS is the acronym for integration platform as a service. An iPaaS is a cloud service that ties together all the functions and processes of managing APIs in a service-oriented architecture. Cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-on-premise on-premise-to-on-premise, and B2B integrations are all supported.
