The Roman Empire built the largest and most efficient road network of its time. At the height of its power Rome had built over 80.000 km of paved roads that spanned the empire’s 113 provinces. This infrastructure was one of the pillars of the Roman state, and served to connect cities and move troops, people, and goods to all confines of the empire. Like in the old Roman Empire which was subdivided into provinces and cities, the majority of modern systems architectures are comprised of different domains and within them a variety of applications. And also like in Roman times, these applications need to be connected so they can share information across systems and domains.
In today’s increasingly cloud oriented world, modern IPaaS provide the tools and the infrastructure for companies to create and manage the integrations between their systems, so that they can build their own network of “information highways” like the old empire did. From a process perspective, these integration networks provide the foundations on which E2E processes that span different organizational, domain, and systems boundaries, can be implemented.
For this reason it is only natural that a company like ours would partner with an IPaaS platform allowing our clients to leverage the integration capabilities and infrastructure to analyze and optimize their operations. We are proud to announce that we have partnered with Boomi, one of the leading IPaaS vendors, and developed a connector to their platform. We believe that accessing the capabilities of the Boomi solution will help mitigate one of the major challenges in our field: access to the right data, and open a new window into the analysis of E2E processes that span several systems.
So why is this a big deal?
- First, the Boomi platform has connectors to a wide variety of systems from databases to commercial applications like SAP. This not only makes it easier to access the required data via the platform, but also provides a way through our connector to load it into the Inverbis platform so it can be analysed. Furthermore, since the integration infrastructure is designed to function with any update frequency, once the connection is established, it can be used to monitor process performance over time.
- Secondly, existing integrations between different systems can be customized or modified to provide the needed data to be able to analyze processes that cross different applications. For example, the integration between a CRM and an ERP can be leveraged to provide the necessary information to analyze a process that starts in the CRM and ends in the ERP, so that bottlenecks and issues can be identified not only within the individual systems but also in the path between them. Again, through the connector with Inverbis, this information can easily be fed into our solution to perform the analysis and monitor the E2E process as desired.
This means that existing Boomi customers have now easy access to the capabilities of a process mining solution, and Inverbis customers have access (by connecting to the Boomi platform) to a new easy and efficient way of acquiring the data they need to optimize their operations.
So continuing with the Roman Empire analogy, Boomi provides the tools to create your road network and Inverbis, through the connector, allows you to tap into this network and identify if your legions are being delayed at a certain point, or if your goods are being routed through a loop, or even if your Publican is collecting the right toll.
So if you want your process to run as efficiently as in the Roman Empire, let’s have a talk.
