Why choose iPaaS++ over iPaaS?

Discover the superior advantages of integration Connectivity as a Service over integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS).

Here’s why iPaaS++ stands out:

Ready-to-Use Design

iPaaS++ comes with pre-built high availability and auto-scalability rules. Security design is already in place, ensuring a robust framework from the start.

Efficient Message Flows

Message flows are pre-coded for quick deployment. Adapters for seamless connectivity to any application are ready to use.

Swift Environment Setup

Integration environments are built rapidly, bringing you just hours away from utilizing your integration capability.

Ready-to-Use Design

iPaaS++ comes with pre-built high availability and auto-scalability rules. Security design is already in place, ensuring a robust framework from the start.

Compare this to iPaaS:

Complex Environment Considerations

Determine the number of environments needed and their specifications for high availability, sizing, etc.

Architecture Design Challenges

Address questions about security, availability, and scalability in higher environments.

Deployment Hurdles

Decide where the iPaaS solution should be deployed for planned workloads.

Development, Testing, and Deployment Strategy

Plan the approach for developing, testing, and deploying integration services or APIs. Consider handling exceptions, logging strategies, and the implementation of authorization and authentication for end-users.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs: iPaaS++ or iPaaS?

How much will it cost?

There is no licence cost and no capital expenditure — you pay a monthly subscription per integration, and only once an integration is built and deployed to test. Development costs are minimal because integrations are assembled from reusable pre-built components rather than coded from scratch, and operational costs stay low because we run the platform for you. On a mid-enterprise estate of around 30 integrations, our three-year total cost of ownership works out roughly four times lower than comparable commercial iPaaS platforms.

How easy will it be to maintain?

You don't maintain it — we do. With a traditional iPaaS, ongoing maintenance sits with your team and gets harder as connections multiply and vendor APIs change. With iPaaS++ we design, build, host, monitor and maintain the platform, including building new connectors when they are needed. And because integrations are assembled from tried-and-tested components rather than bespoke code, there is far less to break in the first place.

How many people do I need to recruit?

None. You don't hire or train certified integration specialists, and you don't need in-house development skills to get started — there are no upfront infrastructure, software or resourcing requirements. Our consultants hold certified expertise across IBM ACE, IIB, MQ and DataPower, and MuleSoft, and they operate the platform on your behalf. Your team's involvement is agreeing priorities and signing off testing.

How reliable will it be?

Reliability comes from fully-managed infrastructure rather than from your own configuration. The platform ships with pre-built high-availability rules, and we monitor it proactively around the clock — using 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.

Is it scalable?

Yes, and without the usual cost penalty. Auto-scalability rules are pre-built into the platform and it runs on AWS and Azure, so it flexes with demand. Where a traditional iPaaS is scalable but expensive to scale, this is simple to achieve at very low cost. It also scales structurally: rather than every new application needing a connection to every other one, integrations route through a single managed layer.

Is it secure enough?

Security is designed into the platform rather than left to configuration — the main difference from a traditional iPaaS, where security is only as good as the way you set it up. Federated identity is supported via SAML 2.0 and OIDC. W3 Partnership is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified and holds Cyber Essentials, and we have supplied the UK public sector since 2014. For continuity, source code is held in escrow with an independent third party (NCC Group).

The iPaaS++ Advantage

All these factors are pre-configured, eliminating the need for further consideration. Your integration platform is ready within days, bypassing the lengthy project associated with iPaaS implementations. In summary, iPaaS++ is the natural and intelligent extension to iPaaS, providing you with a hassle-free journey to seamless integration capabilities.

Client Testimonial

“iPaaS is flat pack furniture and a toolbox, while iPaaS++ is pre-assembled quality furniture; the flat-pack is a quality product but with lots of opportunity for things to go wrong during assembly.”
