Your business likely depends on hundreds of applications across various teams. These may be off-the-shelf systems, custom-built applications, SaaS applications, mobile applications, IoT sensors, and many others, and are likely spread across multiple locations such as on-premises and multiple public and private clouds.
But as applications present data in different formats like JSON, SOAP, and industry-specific message formats, such as Swift, EDI, and others. The use of protocols such as messaging, HTTP, Web Services, REST and more – it can be a challenge to ensure applications can communicate with speed, security, and flexibility.
