Integration as a Service (IaaS)
Integration-as-a-Service (IaaS) is a system that connects on-site data to data in the cloud. Information is shared between an organization’s systems and third-party vendors. IaaS is used for data storage, website hosting, application development, and data analytics. Vendors usually provide the servers, software, and other tools needed to manage cloud-based applications.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Integration as a Service (IaaS)
IaaS is beneficial to small or midsize companies needing custom programs. Integrations such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) allow low-cost and efficient access to complex programs. As a result, organizations don’t have to worry about setting up equipment to run applications. Also, cloud-based business-to-business (B2B) connections minimize delays when sharing large amounts of data.
