Are you facing SaaS integration challenges?

Customer concerns about integration represent both a threat and an opportunity for SaaS and cloud providers.

You may have noticed that we announced a partnership with Zuora, the company behind the leading SaaS subscription billing service (often touted as the Salesforce of billing). This is no ordinary announcement. We are truly excited about what this means for the future of integration.

SaaS is changing the application landscape, offering better applications at a lower cost through cloud delivery. The benefits of SaaS have been touted many times, but one of the major hurdles to SaaS adoption is integration (which I elaborated on here ).

A few months ago, MuleSoft was a major sponsor of Cloud Computing Expo Silicon Valley, the world’s leading Cloud event, which attracted over 5,000 attendees and hundreds of other leading cloud companies. At the conference, MuleSoft CTO Ross Mason spoke to a crowded session hall about the top 10 pitfalls of point to point integration to avoid in the cloud. We also set up a booth on the expo floor, where we had live demos of iON running non-stop throughout the event. Over the course of 3 days, we had over 300 people stop by our booth to learn about how iON works and try it for themselves.

While we were at Cloud Expo, MuleSoft CEO Greg Schott had a few minutes to sit down and talk about the massive integration challenge facing the entire cloud industry, and how iON is helping SaaS and cloud providers solve that problem. Watch the 5-minute video here:

The DevKit is a tool for accelerating the development of Mule extensions. A popular Mule extension is what we call a Cloud Connector. A Cloud Connector provides Mule with the ability to receive and send messages to/from a cloud service provider. We do not make assumptions about whether that service provider is a REST-based service, a SOAP endpoint or a custom protocol on top of TCP. Having said that, we do offer certain services for some types of service providers. In this post I’m going to be talking about connection management, a feature in the DevKit that provides management and sharing of connections for those service providers that have stateful protocols.

Here at MuleSoft, every few months we take a couple days off and hold a company Hackathon. Usually these are individual efforts to build something unique and interesting using the technology and products that we create at MuleSoft.

To kick off the new year, we decided to sponsor a team event and see if we could get some creative new ideas that might be more then a single person could implement in a day. The goal was to develop an iApp that demonstrated the power of the Mule iON platform. iApps are integration solutions developed on iON that solve a common problem and can be provisioned for use by different customers. The results were pretty inspiring making it difficult for those of us on the judging panel to choose a single winner.
