Moving Integration to the Cloud discusses why, what, how, and when organizations should move their integration projects to the cloud. It provides an overview of key cloud service models and the current landscape of cloud adoption. The document then outlines a phased approach for moving integration to the cloud, beginning with establishing cloud prerequisites, establishing a middleware cloud platform, moving development and testing to the cloud, integrating on-premise and SaaS applications, implementing SaaS to SaaS integration in the cloud, and conducting a phased migration of production integrations. Case studies of organizations that have successfully adopted this approach are also presented.

increasingly defined by the software that underpins them
Software is a Competitive Advantage
Organizations are in a Digital Race

5. Solution not delivered by a single system
Rather a patch work of applications, each one performing a particular
business function

7. The Current Moving to the Cloud Landscape
Cloud adoption is growing and
most enterprises are leveraging
multiple cloud environments that
combine both public and private
cloud options
This shift of cloud adoption from
shadow IT to a strategic imperative
is a critical step in the move to a
cloud-centric future

8. Bridging the SaaS Integration Gap

years due to integration
problems
42%
Have seen a data security
breach in their department

Half
Of cloud adopters have
tried and failed at cloud

54%
Of businesses have missed
project deadlines in last 6
months due to cloud

For business, the world is
changing. The winners will be the
companies who can rapidly learn
and adapt and be more
responsive to urgent emerging
needs
Moving to the cloud enables
enterprises to tap ever changing
new technologies with a platform
that supports leveraging
continued innovations in
meaningful & predictable manner
Research has revealed that nearly
66 percent organizations have
found that moving to the cloud
has reduced their IT costs by
improving asset utilisation
and productivity
Cloud computing offers significant financial and operational benefits for organisations; by shifting IT resources from traditional
internal infrastructures to cloud platforms, costs can be reduced, flexibility increased and efficiencies improved
Organizations are using cloud
platforms for DevOps and testing
software upgrades to
considerable reduce risks of
