Software-based integration solutions have consistently proven to be very complex technologies, often requiring specialists and substantial financial investments, while homegrown custom-code alternatives solve integration problems only in the short term. With such ineffective application integration options, organizations are creating silos of information which lead to subsequent operating inefficiencies, limiting their ability to adapt to changing business needs.

This white paper explores using integration appliances to simplify application integration. In this white paper, you will discover a self-contained appliance that uses configuration instead of coding to quickly connect a customer's internal applications and to easily exchange information with business partners. You will learn how an appliance-based approach provides many benefits, including:

• Faster integrations, without coding
• Built-in connectivity to a broad range of applications
• Better utilization of skills, without tying up specialists
• Replacing the need to purchase, deploy and maintain software
