In today’s dynamic business environment, connectivity is the key to business success. Organizations need to act quickly and efficiently to remain competitive (TTM – Time to Market) and continue to thrive. To enable this, Consist has integrated into its product portfolio the most advanced system of its kind in the world for API connections between various enterprise systems. The API Integrator component, based on WSO2’s ENTERPRISE INTEGRATOR product, allows organizations to unify and optimize their systems, enable information to flow efficiently across the entire organization, and maximize the speed and ease with which the organization can operate, bring new products to market, enhance the customer experience, and expand its client base.
What is API Integrator?
In a nutshell, it is a solution that allows organizations to integrate different systems and databases – to build, extend, and secure sophisticated integration solutions to achieve digital flexibility and seamless information flow.
Example demonstrating the benefits of the solution
A leading company in Israel requested Consist to implement a solution, initially in the HR department, which would optimize the process of employee salary updates and approvals by management. The process used to be cumbersome and time-consuming. After implementing the ENTERPRISE INTEGRATOR solution in combination with PB DIGITAL digital forms, it is now completed with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
In this process, a regional manager of an employee requesting a salary update receives a link to a smart digital form that can be filled out on a smartphone or computer. Based on the employee ID, the system generates a PDF form and sends it through the relevant approval cycle. This process is executed using Consist’s MAGNUM suite, which combines solutions for dynamic form design, document generation, and approval workflows, together with the API Integrator component that connects all elements of the solution – the forms system, company databases, payroll system, etc. Previously, implementing such a solution required complex and expensive API connections, but with API Integrator, all API connections are performed efficiently without the need for coding. This is just one example of numerous implementations by Consist across a wide variety of digital transformation processes in leading organizations.
Benefits of API Integrator
Increased productivity through automation of manual processes and error reduction: The organization can allocate resources to higher-value activities, and employees can focus on other tasks, thereby increasing overall productivity.
Better decision-making: A unified system provides a complete and accurate view of organizational data. This enables managers to make informed decisions and identify new business opportunities. Complete and accurate information helps the organization operate smarter and more efficiently.
Maximizing existing investments: Using existing systems for new purposes allows the organization to continue extracting value from past investments. By integrating existing systems into the new integration framework, the organization can leverage new technologies without abandoning previous investments.
Improved digital experience: Integrated systems enable the organization to provide a consistent and personalized experience to clients, employees, and partners, improving satisfaction and loyalty, and contributing to business success.
Increased flexibility: Through automation, sharing, and reuse, integrations help the organization respond quickly to changing market conditions and new business requirements. This flexibility allows the organization to stay ahead of competitors and address business challenges efficiently.
Cloud readiness: API Integrator enables the organization to leverage the benefits of native cloud architectures and practices. This includes scaling systems, adding flexibility, and improving application efficiency. With cloud readiness, the organization can run its applications in any technological environment.
AI for Integration: The Future is Here
Consist’s Enterprise Integrator product also integrates advanced AI technologies for developing integrations. These technologies enable creating configurations from natural language, automatically initiating complete projects, and progressively improving projects through conversational guidance. This jump-starts development and allows developers to focus on customization and implementing logic without being delayed by product details.
Integration Control Interface (ICP)
The WSO2-CONSIST Control Plane dashboard provides enhanced management for hybrid deployments. It enables unified node management, improved visibility in the environment, and secure communication between the dashboard and nodes. This interface significantly improves control and management of the organization’s integration infrastructure.
Summary
