Software is going into the cloud

The overwhelming majority of experts believe that software is the key element of digital transformation. If previously it was intended for data management, now the data itself starts to manage the software. We need to add that recently developers have focused on cloud applications. Along with the growth of their popularity, there is a gradual transfer to the cloud and the data generated by these programs. The more data is concentrated in the cloud, the more attention developers devote to creating new programs. In fact, this is a vicious circle, the fundamental element of which is data.

Multilevel data transfer strategy

Many experts and commentators believe that the migration into the cloud of managed platforms and data has already begun. When planning migration, many organizations apply a multilevel approach, transferring the "first class" data to the main operating environment and leaving "second" and "third class" data in other environments. The key problem is the levels of data duplication and migration. Working with banks or insurance companies, a fleet of applications that still work on mainframes or connects to them. Typically, the first stage of the upgrade project for this architecture involves selecting a level of data caching and a set of APIs that allow you to develop new applications without directly connecting to the mainframe environment.

Individual development or iPaaS?

Automation of various types of business processes is used as a strategy to reduce costs. At the same time, most of the work on digital transformation of enterprises is still focused on the development of new products and the transition to continuous delivery. Companies mainly focus on creating or acquiring software with unique features, whereas the Low / No Code iPaaS frameworks for these purposes are not the most suitable solutions.

Ready to use iPaAs solutions guarantee the interoperability of heterogeneous integration systems when moving infrastructures and data to the cloud, that is, speeding up the transition without requiring the suspension of work processes. Given the uniqueness of each organization's data, iPaaS is best used for data migration, but if there is a need, it makes sense to use the unique software.
