3. IPaaS vs. API management: Why the enterprise needs both

4. Obsessed With Tech Stack? Your Customers Don’t Care

5. API Integration and iPaaS: The Basics and Benefits

What is API integration? The technical definition is long and pretty much useless. It’s best to draw an analogy. If you think about a digital enterprise as the human body, with each part as a functioning unit – hands as CRM, brain as the ERP – then APIs are the arteries and veins through which flows the data to those systems. They are the “connectivity tissue” that makes everything run.

6. The Challenges of Smart Manufacturing

8. How Software Integration Can Simplify It And Reduce Per-Employee Spending

Do you count the salaries of anyone doing that work, and, if so, what proportion of their salary?

The automation of business processes was already in a state of increasing adoption long before the pandemic began.
