SOAP APIs Aren’t Scary: What You Should Know Before You Build a SOAP Integration

Building your first integration with a SOAP-based API can be daunting.

Recently, I’ve helped several companies integrate their apps with third-party apps and services that use SOAP-based APIs. For developers with SOAP experience, the integrations were a breeze. But for the uninitiated, SOAP has a pretty steep learning curve and throws a lot of new terms and acronyms your way: XML, WSDL, envelope, procedure... and a few dozen others.

Maximizing Business Value With Enterprise Integration

Introduction

We are in the Digital Economy and as it applies to all economies in the world, the success of this relatively new but no longer nascent economy will depend on how well the stakeholders of this economy maximize their resources by reusing, replicating, connecting, and interoperating them. The value of synergy is always greater than the value of individual components contributing to it and this force multiplier needs to be capitalized in a massive way by modern-day enterprises if they wish to succeed in the digital economy.

The advertisement moolah that Google and Facebook rake in is precisely because they do not look at their business entities in siloes; rather they connect and integrate valuable customer data points from various entities like; for example, Gmail, Google Maps, and YouTube to generate one unified persona related data impression that becomes the basis for their targeted advertisements and their consequent success rates. Likewise, Netflix integrates and converts data on the subscriber consumption pattern to intelligent movie recommendations that lead to higher viewership, greater new subscriptions, and improved Net Promoter Scores (read word of mouth).

Traditional iPaaS Doesn’t Work for Software Companies – Here’s Why

It’s no surprise that software integration is a hot topic these days. Or that there’s a growing number of iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) solutions that help companies build integrations between all the different applications they use.

Businesses are using more and more unique applications as part of their day-to-day operations. That presents challenges like siloed data and disjointed workflows, creating a need to easily connect those applications.

First of all, thanks to MuleSoft for reducing and simplifying the steps to configure the Mule OAuth 2.0 policy by using Mule 4 components.

To apply the OAuth 2.0 policy, the below configuration needs to be done.

Integration as a Platform (iPaaS) Is Changing Enterprise Integration

The integration platform as a service (iPaaS) market is not just growing, it is accelerating. iPaaS is a cloud service that provides a platform to support applications that involve a combination of data sources, cloud-based applications, and others.

Digital transformation requires more compelling customer touch points, which means businesses need to integrate more systems, people, and things than ever before. With requests for integration between applications (both in the cloud and on-premises) on the rise, the job of creating and managing those connections can become overwhelmingly complex.

What Is CRON and How Can It Help Schedule Cloud Workflow Jobs?

Introduction

Cloud Workflow presents a scheduler that allows you to automate the execution of a task over time. The corresponding schedule can be defined via a menu, where the user selects the necessary time expression or via a CRON expression.

This article explains what a CRON expression is and how to create a valid one for Cloud Workflow.
