What is IBM App Connect?
Application, system and process integration are indispensable elements of digital transformation, but 84% of digital transformation projects fail due to siloed data and unreliable integration approaches. Customer journeys to cloud and AI demand new and innovative approaches to integration. IBM App Connect allows customers to instantly connect applications and data, from existing systems and modern technologies across all their environments. The solution also offers enterprise service bus (ESB) and agile integration architecture (AIA) microservices deployment of integration artifacts, allowing customers to deploy to a multitude of flexible integration patterns. App Connect is also available with other capabilities in IBM Cloud Pak® for Integration, which can help you achieve your application modernization goals as part of your journey to the cloud.
Do more with your apps and data — and do it fast. Integrate it, build APIs with it and act on it.
Integrate apps and data
Automatically copy and synchronize data between on-premises and cloud-based applications, without worrying about mismatched sources, formats and standards. For example, your business may need to sync customer data between an SaaS CRM system and an on-premises database.
Build APIs
Reliably access, transform and combine data assets across all your enterprise applications, databases and systems and expose them as APIs. For example, your business may need to provide an API to a business partner that collects product detail information and current inventory to allow the partner to confidently complete an order.
Act on events
Quickly recognize when events occur in source applications across your ecosystem to immediately trigger the right business actions. For example, you may need to monitor for a particular change to the status of a customer case to trigger a business unit to engage in the next level of service to the customer.
