The trends in in the cloud including mass adoption of SaaS, API proliferation and the new breed of mobile consumer are driving a new set of integration challenges. SaaS makes it very easy for application decisions to fly under the rader and create new silos of data. This talk covers the problem, the drivers and how integration PaaS (iPaaS) can help.

Cloud is the new silo Solving emerging integration

About Me
Emergence of Cloud Silos
3
Enterprise have spent 15 years breaking down internal silos, but a new set of cloud silos is emerging
Cloud Platforms
• Driven by business • “Solution” based integration
(e.g., Cast Iron, Boomi)
• Driven by developers • Custom point-to-point integration
Growing need for platform approach to integration
SaaS
Trends driving integration challenges
SaaS / Cloud
Applications APIs Mobile
IS THERE AN INTEGRATION PROBLEM?
SaaS
• Applications used to be hard to consume – Evaluate App – Make a decision – Engage the vendor – Create rollout plan – Create infrastructure – Deploy Application
• SaaS is Dangerously easy to consume – “Fragment your data with one easy CC swipe”

THE ROLE OF INTEGRATION
Metcalfe’s Law
“…the value of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system.”

Application API
The Web
Mobile
Machine Communication
• The web is an awesome communication platform
• Applications hold the data - the currency of communication
• The API make information available to consumers
• The mobile device is the new consumption channel

The Missing Piece
• All this infrastructure is limited without conversation*
• Integration drives conversation • The exchange creates new information
of greater value to the consumer
* This is machine to machine ‘conversation’ in which I include dissemination of information
The Conversation…
Data
Consumer
Conversation
Communication
…is driven by Integration

Mule iON – connecting cloud & enterprise
Data Mapping
Scheduling
Security Data GW
Orchestration
Mgmt/Alerting
Error Handing
Cloud Connectors • Easy integration with
SaaS and cloud based services
• MuleForge community repository
• SDK for easy creation of new connectors
• 20 Cloud Connectors since 01/2011
• 40 planned by 12/2011
Mule iON use cases • Cloud to Cloud
– Synchronizing data between Salesforce and Marketo • Cloud to Enterprise
– Connecting SugarCRM to Oracle Financials and ServiceNow
• Publishing data APIs – Cross-link HR system with LinkedIn and Facebook,
publish richer user information • Activity Streams
– Feeding events from on-premise and cloud apps into activity streams like Chatter or Yammer
DEMO
Summary
• We need to unlock data in the cloud • APIs enable communication of that data • Mobile devices are creating new consumer
demand • Integration enables the conversation
between SaaS, APIs and consumers
Mule iON is an integration platform dedicated to making these exchanges easy
