data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>SaaS integration enables applications to request and share data seamlessly, driving workflow <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/automation">automation</a> and enhancing functionality across various business processes.</p> <p>SaaS is a cloud-based software delivery model in which service providers host applications and make them available to customers over the internet. Users can access these applications on demand without needing to install or maintain the software on their local devices. The SaaS provider hosts the application in the <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/cloud-computing">cloud</a> and manages all underlying infrastructure, security and updates.</p> <p>SaaS applications bring the benefits of rapid deployment, minimal management expenses and predictable costs to businesses of all sizes, from startups to large global organizations. SaaS solutions are typically subscription-based and offer scalability, automatic updates and accessibility from any location with an internet connection. This helps organizations focus on core operations while using cutting-edge technology without heavy upfront investments in infrastructure.</p> <p>These advantages have made SaaS the dominant software delivery model today and fueled SaaS adoption across all industries. <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/crm">Customer relationship management (CRM)</a> systems such as Salesforce and HubSpot, collaboration tools such as Microsoft 365 and Slack, and <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/enterprise-resource-planning">enterprise resource planning (ERP)</a> solutions such as those from SAP and Oracle exemplify the integral role SaaS applications play in modern businesses.</p> <p>This ubiquity underscores SaaS's role as a transformative force in modern business operations, driving efficiency, flexibility and innovation across diverse sectors. The incorporation of <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence (AI)</a>, <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/machine-learning">machine learning (ML)</a> and <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/internet-of-things">Internet of Things (IoT)</a> devices has helped strengthen these tools and drive their adoption. Industry analyst Gartner forecasts <u>g</u>lobal SaaS expenditure to grow 22% to total USD 295 billion by the end of 2025.<sup>1</sup></p> <p>SaaS applications offer numerous benefits, but their value to organizations depends on effectively mitigating the accompanying challenges and risks. As <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/infrastructure">IT environments</a> grow increasingly complex, they introduce new challenges such as fragmented workflows, data silos and compatibility issues with existing systems. SaaS integration helps organizations address these issues. It facilitates the seamless connectivity and data flow across disparate applications and systems needed for business process automation.</p> </div></div> <div class="experiencefragment"> <div

</div> <div class="rich-text text"><div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-8bf6dc0d4b" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>SaaS integration works by using <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/api">application programming interfaces (APIs)</a> to enable the exchange of information between a SaaS application and other enterprise applications and systems. An API is a set of rules and protocols that enables software applications to communicate and exchange data, features and functions.</p> <p>APIs work by first authenticating applications before authorizing any data transfer. Data is typically exchanged using standard formats such as JSON and XML. While some SaaS applications update in real time, providing immediate synchronization and data updates as changes occur, others rely on batch processing. Batch processing involves accumulating data over a set period and then sending it in bulk at scheduled intervals.</p> <p>SaaS integration can be thought of as the interconnected network of roads in a city. Each building in the city represents a different application or system, each with its own specific function and purpose. The roads—the <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/api">APIs</a> in this analogy—connect these buildings, enabling vehicles (data) to travel smoothly from one place to another. Without these roads, each building would operate in isolation, unable to share resources or communicate effectively.</p> <p>The network of roads enables information to flow freely between buildings, much like SaaS integration facilitates seamless data exchange and coordination between different software applications. This interconnected infrastructure is essential for the city's overall function, just as SaaS integration is crucial for enhancing workflow automation and boosting productivity across various business processes.</p> <p>Most SaaS applications publish their own APIs that are ready to use, or are compatible with common API types such as <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/rest-apis">REST APIs</a>. In some cases, particularly in more complex systems, additional programming and configuration might be required to integrate a SaaS application with existing applications and systems.</p> <p>By integrating SaaS applications, teams can create stronger, more efficient workflows, better leverage automation, minimize manual data entry (reducing human error) and derive more value from application data.</p> </div></div> <div class="experiencefragment"> <div id="experiencefragment-fa99b3a00d" class="cmp-experiencefragment cmp-experiencefragment--blueprint---media-player-ad-video---xf---do-not-edit"> <div class="xf-content-height"> <div class="root container responsivegrid"> <div id="container-a436253289" class="cmp-container"> <div class="media-player-ad-video"> <div class="media-player-ad-video__container theme-media-player-ad--image-bkg-light" data-theme="image-bkg-light" data-autoid="" data-attribute1="media-player"> <div class="media-player-ad-video__content"> <div class="media-player-ad-video__top"> <div class="media-player-ad-video__eyebrow"> AI Academy </div> </div> <div class="media-player-ad-video__video"> <c4d-video-player-container video-id="1_imy3p6x3" aspect-ratio="16x9" playing-mode="inline" hide-caption> <script src="/etc.clientlibs/adobe-cms/components/content/atoms/video/clientlibs.lc-8675c49600f564093b2ef6979ea3ce64-lc.min.js"></script> <script defer src="/etc.clientlibs/adobe-cms/clientlibs/clientlib-video-player.lc-29f2a66df07342cdf763e2bc4d5ada80-lc.min.js"></script> <script defer src="/etc.clientlibs/adobe-cms/clientlibs/clientlib-video-player-container.lc-55363444860a24db3d70e267bce0f5c1-lc.min.js"></script> </c4d-video-player-container> <div id="c4d-analytics-data" data-title-c4d="SaaS integration" data-last-modified-c4d="Thu Dec 19 20:35:37 UTC 2024" data-last-published-c4d="Thu Dec 19 20:35:37 UTC 2024" data-template-c4d="/conf/adobe-cms-editable/settings/wcm/templates/article" data-playing-mode-c4d="inline"> </div> </div> <h3 class="expressive-heading-03 media-player-ad-video__heading"> Achieving AI-readiness with hybrid cloud </h3> <div class="media-player-ad-video__text"> <span class=" normal cms-richtext"> <p>Led by top IBM thought leaders, the curriculum is designed to help business leaders gain the knowledge needed to prioritize the AI investments that can drive growth.</p> </span> </div> <div class="media-player-ad-video__link"> <c4d-link-with-icon cta-type="local" href="https://www.ibm.com/think/videos/ai-academy/hybrid-cloud-ai" icon-placement="right" target="_blank" data-link-type="local" data-dynamic-properties="{"ctaUrl":"href"}" data-video-modal-type="media-center"> <span class="cds--link-text" data-link-text data-dynamic-inner-content="ctaLabel">Go to episode</span>  <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" slot="icon" width="20" height="20" focusable="false" fill="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 20 20" aria-hidden="true"> <path d="M11.8 2.8L10.8 3.8 16.2 9.3 1 9.3 1 10.7 16.2 10.7 10.8 16.2 11.8 17.2 19 10z"></path> </svg>  </c4d-link-with-icon> </div> </div> <div class="media-player-ad-video__wrapper"> <div class="media-player-ad-video__wrapper__background"></div> <div class="media-player-ad-video__wrapper__overlay"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="standalone-title enhanced-title text"> <h2 class="expressive-heading-05 "> SaaS integration platforms and strategies </h2> <a data-title="SaaS integration platforms and strategies" name="SaaS+integration+platforms+and+strategies"></a> </div> <div class="rich-text text"><div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-b03c25deb0" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>There are several ways organizations can integrate SaaS applications, each providing distinct advantages and features.</p> </div></div> <div class="standalone-title enhanced-title text"> <h3 class="expressive-heading-04 ">Integrated platform as a service (iPaaS)</h3> </div> <div class="rich-text text"><div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-48d43e4e64" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>Connecting applications through methods such as custom development or point-to-point integrations is labor-intensive, inflexible and costly. As organizations increasingly adopt <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/hybrid-cloud">hybrid</a> and <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/multicloud">multicloud</a> environments, along with a growing number of SaaS applications, the need for an integration strategy that is better suited for such complexity grows more critical. <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/ipaas">iPaaS</a> solutions are designed to address this need and aid organizations in <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/digital-transformation">digital transformation</a>.</p> <p>An iPaaS platform is a centralized hub that standardizes data flows between applications and streamlines business processes. iPaaS solutions typically offer a suite of templates and prebuilt connectors that reduce the complexity and time required to connect applications and systems. iPaaS platforms also offer <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/low-code">low-code</a> and no-code tools in the form of intuitive visual interfaces and drag-and-drop modules that enable nontechnical users to build and manage integrations.</p> <p>iPaaS solutions can be used to automate tasks such as syncing orders and inventory between e-commerce platforms and CRMs and to connect multiple data streams with ERP software. Furthermore, an iPaaS solution can trigger automated actions, such as sending an invoice upon project approval or dispatching technicians or support to affected customers during service outages.</p> <p>iPaaS platforms can also handle critical integration requirements such as data delivery acknowledgment and data governance, eliminating the need for companies to develop these capabilities in-house. The result is a more connected enterprise that is better positioned to take advantage of automated business processes. With iPaaS solutions, organizations don’t have to build their own integrations. However, technical expertise is still needed to troubleshoot issues with iPaaS platforms.</p> </div></div> <div class="standalone-title enhanced-title text"> <h3 class="expressive-heading-04 ">Embedded iPaaS (EiPaaS)</h3> </div> <div class="rich-text text"><div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-8c4df3e233" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>Embedded iPaaS presents another solution. With embedded iPaaS, SaaS companies offer integration capabilities directly within SaaS products. EiPaaS services facilitate customer-facing integrations between third-party applications and a vendor’s platform, so that customers can link their apps with the vendor’s services. With EiPaaS, clients can build and deploy their own integrations within the provider’s software, or vendors can build integrations on the client’s behalf and allow them to choose which integrations to adopt.<sup>2</sup></p> </div></div> <div class="standalone-title enhanced-title text"> <h3 class="expressive-heading-04 ">Robotic process automation (RPA)</h3> </div> <div class="rich-text text"><div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-abf216941a" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p><a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/rpa">Robotic process automation</a> is a technology that uses software bots to automate repetitive tasks otherwise performed by humans. In the context of SaaS integration, RPA can automate data extraction, manual data entry and other routine tasks across multiple SaaS applications. RPA tools are particularly useful for integrating legacy systems with modern SaaS apps, reducing the risk of human error and freeing up employees to focus on more strategic activities.</p> <p>For example, in human resources, RPA can be used to collect and sync new hire information across different platforms. An automated bot can be used to input employee information, complete necessary forms and update employee records within the HR system, distribute onboarding materials and access request forms, send introductory emails and other tasks. Such automations can contribute to a smooth and efficient onboarding experience without the need for manual intervention. While implementing RPA can save time, bot <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/workflow" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">workflows</a> can fail following application updates or user interface changes.</p> </div></div> <div class="standalone-title enhanced-title text"> <h3 class="expressive-heading-04 ">Custom integration (or native integration)</h3> </div> <div class="rich-text text"><div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-b4f441cf74" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>A custom SaaS integration strategy avoids third-party involvement and relies on in-house developers to build and maintain integrations. Custom integrations offer a high level of flexibility and customization. For this reason, businesses that need specific functions that standard app integrations do not offer often must rely, at least in some degree, on custom integration. This method can also be suitable for organizations with limited integration needs, where custom integration demands won’t become prohibitively expensive.</p> <p>However, developing custom API integrations for many SaaS applications can be complex, time-consuming and expensive for enterprises that work with many SaaS applications and on-premises systems. The process often involves multiple rounds of development and testing to achieve proper data flow. Maintaining and updating custom integrations over time can lead to technical debt and costly revisions, challenging scalability and flexibility for future growth.</p> </div></div> <div class="standalone-title enhanced-title text"> <h3 class="expressive-heading-04 ">Middleware</h3> </div> <div class="rich-text text"><div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-a4f76c744d" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>Middleware integration is the use of intermediary software that connects SaaS applications and on-premises systems. <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/middleware">Middleware</a> solutions include <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/esb?_ga=2.2004401.1696084635.1710142763-2067957453.1707311480&_gl=1*xptz5a*_ga*MjA2Nzk1NzQ1My4xNzA3MzExNDgw*_ga_FYECCCS21D*MTcxMDIyMTI2Ni42OC4xLjE3MTAyMjE1ODguMC4wLjA.">enterprise service bus (ESB)</a> tools and iPaaS platforms that connect all components in a tech stack.
