Software-based integration solutions are complex and expensive in addition to being an overkill for most integration projects, causing organizations to become increasingly reliant on custom code to address integration issues. Writing, updating and debugging custom code, however, is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process that can lead to hidden costs that go well beyond the initial outlays. Custom code, thus, is unable to provide the quality required for effective application integration.

This white paper explores the benefits of integration appliances and using a "configuration, not coding" approach for improved application integration. You will discover how use of an appliance simplifies integration, does not require specialized skills, and enables quick implementation. Explore detailed case studies from a broad spectrum of companies that have successfully adopted integration appliances, from insurance companies to automotive manufacturers.
