Summary

iPaaS, which is attracting attention globally, is a cloud-based service that enables efficient coordination between systems.

However, the current situation is that its presence and convenience are not yet well known in Japan. This time, I would like to introduce what iPaaS is and how its introduction can bring great benefits to companies.

1. What is IPaaS?

iPaaS is an abbreviation for Integration Platform as a Service, and it is a service that provides a platform on the cloud that easily links different systems and applications.

Traditionally, linking different systems required a huge amount of time and money from development to verification, but by using iPaaS, these issues can be largely resolved.

The most important link between systems is data linkage, but it also includes functional linkages such as linking with document management services to save files and linking with email services to send emails. Is possible.

2. Key Benefits of IPaaS

1. Rapid Data Collaboration Construction with No-Code/Low-Code

iPaaS uses a no-code or low-code development approach, and anyone who has an understanding of inter-system integration and basic knowledge of data can quickly build integration. This makes it possible to realize projects in a short period of time and build flexible collaborations.

2. Instant Collaboration with Connectors

Many iPaaS providers offer connectors for major applications and services such as Salesforce, SAP, and Oracle. This allows users to easily exchange data between different systems without any coding effort. For example, the process of automatically transferring data from an e-commerce platform to accounting software can be accomplished effortlessly.

3. Consistent Data Management

Centralized data management through system linkage improves data quality and consistency. This is a critical element in improving decision-making accuracy across the organization. Maintaining data accuracy directly leads to improved customer satisfaction and optimized business performance.

4. Cost and Time Savings

By introducing iPaaS, it is possible to significantly reduce costs and time compared to traditional system linkage methods. By reducing development and operation man-hours, costs previously associated with system coordination can be shifted to other innovation activities. This is definitely a solution you should consider for projects that require the coordination of many systems, such as a core system, EC system, or CRM system.

3. Key points when using IPaaS

1. Security and Reliability Checks

Since iPaaS is a cloud-based service, checking security and reliability is very important.

Review the security measures and data protection practices offered by your service provider to ensure they align with your company’s security policies.

2. Customization and Extensibility

Business needs change all the time, so it’s important that the iPaaS solution you choose is customizable and easy to expand in the future.

Check out the wide range of pre-built connectors and APIs available and consider whether you can customize system integrations to meet your specific business requirements.

3. Support

Since iPaaS is still a relatively unknown service in Japan, an important selection criterion is whether or not you can receive comprehensive support. If this is your first time, consider hiring an experienced vendor.

4. Operation Management


The fact that important settings can be easily changed also comes with risks. Establish solid operational management procedures and build a management system that prevents major troubles from occurring due to intentional or careless mistakes.

4. Prospects for IPaaS in Japanese Companies

For Japanese companies to succeed in the global competitive arena, system coordination and automation are inevitable themes. iPaaS is a powerful tool that efficiently supports this realization and provides new business opportunities for Japanese companies. As digital transformation progresses, system coordination is becoming more complex and sophisticated. iPaaS is the key to solving these challenges and helping businesses run smoother and more efficient operations.

Summary

iPaaS is a powerful tool for easily and quickly connecting systems. Although it is not yet well known in Japan, its benefits are immeasurable. The benefits include faster interface construction, instant integration with connectors, no-code/low-code development, improved data management, cost and time savings, and more.
