Managed iPaaS, Integrated Enterprise Data

Name: iPaaS++ (Smarter Integration)
Brand: W3 Partnership
Availability: InStock

Live in months, not years — 2–4× faster and typically 4× lower TCO than traditional iPaaS.

W3 Partnership is a UK integration specialist.

We connect the applications, data and systems that run your business — and then we run the integration platform for you, so integration stops being something your team has to maintain.

Our Smarter Integration service is a fully managed iPaaS: rather than writing bespoke code for every connection, we assemble them from reusable, pre-built components. That is where both the speed and the cost advantage come from — there is less to build, and less to maintain once it is built.

On a mid-enterprise estate of around 30 integrations, that puts our three-year total cost of ownership at about a quarter of the comparable commercial iPaaS platforms.

We have been doing this since 2007, we are ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, and we are a Crown Commercial Service supplier listed on G-Cloud.

Why Smarter Integration

Smarter Integration is our alternative to traditional integration platforms. We sell, build, run and maintain it as one managed service — so you stay out of the platform business.

No coding — assembled from reusable, pre-built components
Higher quality — tried-and-tested, monitored delivery
Cloud elasticity — runs on AWS or Azure
Live in 3–6 months, not 12–18 — typically ~4× lower three-year TCO

Frequently Asked Questions

What is iPaaS++ and how does it differ from traditional iPaaS?

Traditional iPaaS integration platforms give you tooling and expect you to build on it — every connection means new code, written and maintained by your team. iPaaS++ is our managed alternative. Smarter Integration is assembled from reusable, pre-built components rather than bespoke code, and we operate the platform for you. That means less development, lower ongoing cost, and far less time from decision to working integration.

How quickly can you deliver?

We typically implement in three to six months from a signed statement of work. A traditional iPaaS build of comparable scope usually runs twelve to eighteen months, so most clients are live two to four times faster. Where scope allows we have gone considerably quicker — two recent engagements reached their first live integration in six and eight weeks respectively — but three to six months is what we quote.

What does "fully managed" actually include?

We design, build, host, monitor and maintain the integration platform, including building new connectors where they are needed. That includes proactive monitoring — we use nJAMS for IIB, ACE and DataPower, and Check MK for IBM MQ, alongside native platform tooling — so integration failures are detected and addressed by us, rather than surfacing as problems in your business.

Which systems and platforms can you integrate?

Our consultants hold certified expertise across IBM ACE, IIB, MQ and DataPower, and MuleSoft, and we work across AWS and Azure for cloud deployments. We integrate line-of-business applications, databases, APIs and legacy systems, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or a mix of both.

Can you work with Public Sector organisations?

Yes. We have supplied the UK public sector since 2014 and are listed on G-Cloud as a Crown Commercial Service supplier, so public bodies can procure our services through an established framework. We are ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified.

How does Smarter Integration compare on cost with other iPaaS platforms?

Our white paper models a like-for-like comparison: a mid-enterprise estate of 30 integrations, costed over three years. On that basis Smarter Integration’s total cost of ownership is roughly four times lower than the comparable commercial iPaaS platforms at the midpoint — and lower in every scenario we modelled. The saving comes from the delivery model rather than from discounting: there is no upfront licence, you pay a monthly subscription, and because we assemble integrations from reusable pre-built components rather than writing bespoke code for each one, both the initial build and the ongoing maintenance cost less. We are happy to run the same comparison against your own estate — the full methodology is set out in the white paper, available on request.

...And we're still consultants

Not everyone needs a fully managed platform. If you’re locked into a traditional iPaaS like Boomi or MuleSoft and an implementation has stalled, we can still help. Our consultants have spent nearly two decades rescuing, reviewing and building integration on other people’s platforms — so tell us where you’re stuck, and we’ll be straight with you about whether we can help.
