Cloud computing has become omnipresent and businesses are often faced with the challenge of integrating these new services into their existing IT infrastructure. In this context, integration and interoperability are key to ensuring that your cloud environment isn’t just powerful and scalable, but also cohesive and streamlined.
Integration refers to the process of bringing together disparate systems to create a cohesive whole. One of the biggest hurdles faced when implementing new applications is finding a way to seamlessly integrate them into their existing systems – whether that’s IT infrastructure, other cloud services, or platforms. A well-integrated system allows businesses to streamline their operations, reducing the time and resources spent on managing multiple, separate components.
When it comes to cloud computing, “integration” often involves tailoring applications to meet the unique needs of different users. Multi-tenant SaaS applications, for instance, are known for their extensibility, making them easy to customize. Adapting and molding the application based on individual requirements not only makes the application more efficient and cost-effective, but also allows businesses to scale without building and maintaining a separate application for each use case.
When selecting an industry cloud, businesses should prioritize platforms that provide fast time- to-value, extensibility, and scalability. This ensures that your cloud investment will not only meet expectations but also provide the necessary efficiency, productivity, and tailored functionality. While industry clouds may not come pre-integrated and tested, they provide an approach that minimizes the burden of implementation.
Interoperability is the ability of different systems or applications to work together seamlessly. In terms of cloud services, this implies that different cloud platforms can communicate and coordinate with each other, allowing data to be shared and processes to be coordinated across platforms. A cloud service with strong interoperability can integrate with a wide range of other platforms, facilitating better communication and coordination across your business.
For instance, modern programming approaches like microservices and containers can be incorporated to enhance interoperability. These approaches allow different parts of an application to operate independently, making it easier to update and improve individual components without disrupting the entire system. Similarly, using public API repositories and native mappings to the data model can ensure that your cloud infrastructure is not just easy to use but also reliable and well-integrated.
