Unlock Innovation across the Enterprise
A financial institution builds a new mobile app that gives customers
access to all financial products and services on any device. The app
pulls content from multiple back-end databases, older applications, and
third-party cloud services. A manufacturer brings together data from
legacy industrial systems, partner services, in-house applications, and
the underlying network infrastructure to unlock new efficiencies. These
are examples of the agile enterprise in action. But do they look like your
business?
Modern companies recognize the value of service-oriented
architectures (SOA), application integration, and APIs. By connecting
data, processes, infrastructure, and applications in new ways, you can
unlock new customer experiences and revenue streams. But how do
you do it in today’s complex, distributed enterprise environment? How
can you drive down costs and development timelines when you’re
wrestling with a mix of on-premises, cloud-based, and older enterprise
applications that don’t readily communicate with each other and take
months to integrate?

With Cisco® Integration Platform, you can easily integrate everything.
You can connect infrastructure to applications, on-premises systems
to the cloud, modern applications to legacy systems, and internal data
to your partner ecosystem. So you can quickly connect and automate
integration flows, accelerate new integrations and APIs, and fuel
innovative user-centric experiences.
Automate, Accelerate, Monetize
Cisco Integration Platform simplifies today’s complex enterprise
environments, empowering you to create and monetize new integrations
and APIs much faster and at a lower cost. It combines a powerful
integration bus and end-to-end API management for the first time, with
full governance and security at every stage. The platform includes:
• Cisco Integration Bus: This open standards-based integration
platform combines a standardized SOA programming model with
simple drag-and-drop design tools. You can quickly build and deploy
composite services that encompass cloud applications, legacy onpremises systems, new Internet of Things (IoT) devices - almost
anything in the enterprise. And you can automate all the complex
provisioning and orchestration processes you used to do manually.
The platform includes over 120 prebuilt application and technology
connectors, broad messaging protocol support, and mixed-model
deployment tools.
• API management: Access full lifecycle tools to quickly design, build,
and deploy APIs, and manage how partners and developers use
them. You can simplify API creation with tools to easily create API
portals; automate on-boarding, provisioning, and API documentation;
and tightly monitor and control API policy and access.
Deployment Options
You can deploy Cisco Integration Platform on your premises as software,
or as a private cloud. On premises software is ideal if you have existing
IT resources, skill sets, and infrastructure to configure and manage the
hardware and software. Choose a private cloud if you want to deploy
behind your firewall and host it as a service for your internal customers:
an integrated solution that is easy to use and manage.
