This document discusses several use cases where SnapLogic was used to integrate various systems more quickly and efficiently than alternative approaches like custom coding. These use cases include integrating HR and applicant tracking systems, integrating trouble ticketing across offshore ships, and integrating security data from various sources for risk management. SnapLogic provided hybrid cloud/on-prem integration capabilities, accelerated delivery over custom coding, and established standardized architectures for future integrations.
4. N + 1 where N = # of nodes
= 8 connections
Custom Code/Legacy: Point-to-
Point
SnapLogic: Hub-N-Spoke
N (N-1) / 2 where N = # of nodes
8 (8-1) / 2 = 28 connections

Hybrid Architecture
• Execute integration
pipelines (workflows) in
cloud, on-premise or both
Secure Operations
• Securely orchestrate
business processes that
traverse cloud & ground
assets
9. 1200 restaurants and 90,000 employees with 40% annual
turnover
Business Problems
• Restaurant employee hiring/termination occur with little
warning
• Need to make hiring offer in morning and begin working in
afternoon
• On-boarding processes vary by position, promotion, location
• Regulatory changes drive rapid provisioning modifications
Alternative Approaches
• Existing Enterprise Bus integration too complex, rigid
• Custom coding would have taken too long, inflexible
11. They complete provisioning a new employee within 10
minutes of being hired ie. entered into their HR application
• Delivered integration in identified time frames and exceeded
SLAs
• Now makes integration changes with analyst level skills
• Has established a foundation for new applications and
integrations
• Tracks batch update status from central management console
• Reduced TCO by 4:1 from prior hand coded integration
Future:
• Simplify integration of Financials, Centralized Inventory,
Portion Management, Social Media, Analytics
13. A cruise line with 15 ships around the world, needed to improve corporate
performance and lower its IT costs with ServiceNow
Business Problems
• Had multiple isolated data silos with on-premise applications
• JIRA was the engineering trouble ticketing/incident manager
• Cruise ships are “off-line” when at sea Each ship tracks on-board
incidents using JIRA
• Needed bi-directional integration between JIRA and ServiceNow
• Needed to reduce costs and improve service by replacing on-shore JIRA
seats with ServiceNow
• Tickets have to be batch updated when ships arrive in and stay in port
Alternative Approaches
• Custom coding by customer personnel or off-shoring development
14.
15. Has bi-directional integration and is able to more quickly identify and fix
problems while ships are en-route and in port
• SnapLogic used for transparent bi-directional incident creation, update
and closure
• Able to track and update in real-time status from central management
console
• Delivered integrations ahead of deadlines
• Has a standardized cloud architecture for additional integrations to Jira,
ServiceNow, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft and other corporate applications
Future:
• Parent company is in process to replicate this architecture to all operating
companies
16. IT Risk manages security information for companies assets (computers, mobile
devices etc.) all over the globe
Business Problems
• IT Risk manages 400,000 PC’s and 1,000’s of edge devices around the globe
• Equipment status log files updated as often as every minute
• Risk management processes evolve rapidly
• Needed to rapidly integrate multiple data sources into a multi-process
risk assessment and management process
• Endpoints included
• Splunk for log file ingestion and alert creation
• ServiceNow for incident creation/management/CMDB
• Airwatch for mobile asset management
Alternative Approaches
• Custom coding by personnel
• Individual scripts/custom code from each vendor

18. Estimated SnapLogic at 4x more productive than custom coding
• SnapLogic used for near real-time batch and bi-directional updates
• Agile delivery to accelerate time-to-value
• Standardized architecture for master data connectivity
• Reduced operational maintenance and increased reliability and security
through central management of integrations
• Elastic scaling for future volume and velocity
Future:
• Looking to extend integration processes into separate cloud and on-
prem for increased agility, manageability
• Target applications include Qualys, Veracode, Mozy, ScanSafe, Zscaler
and SkyHigh
