 adoption. The Mule iON integration platform as a service (iPaaS) connects across cloud-based applications and also connects SaaS to on-premise applications. MuleSoft's Anypoint technology for on-demand API connectivity eliminates the need for custom point-to-point code.
With Mule iON SaaS Edition, SaaS vendors can focus on scaling their core business instead of spending time and money on custom integration, resulting in shorter sales cycles, faster implementations, lower support costs, higher customer satisfaction and renewals.
MuleSoft also unveiled a new QuickStart Plan for fast growth SaaS vendors and systems integrators (SIs) that enables them to build their own revenue-generating integration apps on the Mule iON cloud platform in just a few days.
"The explosive growth of cloud computing has fueled the need for an alternative, cloud-based approach to address the perennial application integration challenge," said Massimo Pezzini, VP and Research Fellow at Gartner. "By 2016, Gartner believes that at least 35 percent of all large and midsize organizations worldwide will be using one or more integration iPaaS offering in some form, as stated in our 'Integration Platform as a Service: Moving Integration to the Cloud' report. Companies adopting iPaaS can gain a competitive advantage by providing dramatically faster time-to-value and lower cost of integration thus being able to stay laser focused on their core competencies."
Mule iON SaaS Edition enables SaaS vendors and SIs to build and offer new packaged cloud integration apps that automate business processes across applications. New features available with Mule iON SaaS Edition include graphical data mapping and transformation capabilities - enables SaaS vendors and SIs to build and deploy integration apps without writing custom code by using the Mule Studio drag-and-drop interface, Cloud Connector ToolKit that helps create new cloud connectors in Mule Studio for any public or private Web API, and Customer self-service portals that allows SaaS end user customers to independently manage integrations, minimizing dependency on developers and reducing support calls.
Mule iON SaaS Edition also features SaaS Operations Center that provides complete visibility into end user environments with a multi-tenant portal to monitor, manage and maintain integration apps, including operational dashboards to deliver better customer support with live integration status and performance metrics, real-time notifications to meet availability requirements and improve service level agreements (SLAs) with immediate notifications for events or performance issues as they occur, and proactive alerts to reduce support calls by proactively monitoring and addressing issues before they impact customers.
In addition to these new features, Mule iON SaaS Edition introduces over 20 packaged integration apps and over 100 Cloud Connectors to accomplish common integration use cases, including data integration and data loading, API enablement, process orchestration, and composite and mobile applications aimed to create new end user applications from multiple underlying applications and data sources.
MuleSoft also unveiled a new partner program for fast growth SaaS vendors and SIs that enables them to build and deploy their own revenue-generating cloud integration apps in just a few days. The QuickStart Plan includes complete access to the Mule iON SaaS Edition platform, live developer training, MuleSoft certification of one integration application, Premiere Partner support, and up to 20 end-customer production tenants of the integration app included in one flat annual sign-up fee
"We chose Mule iON to help us eliminate the pain of custom integration, letting us focus on our core business," said Nate DaPore, president and CEO of PeopleMatter. "Since partnering with MuleSoft, we have reduced our customers' go-live time by weeks. The Mule iON platform has performed exceptionally for our leading customers. MuleSoft is a strategic part of our growth and success in 2012 and beyond."
"Integration challenges are the top barrier to maximizing SaaS adoption, and Mule iON SaaS Edition makes those challenges disappear. By giving SaaS vendors the tools to easily build, deploy and manage integrations for their clients as an integration platform as a service, Mulesoft has taken a leadership position in this category," said Chris Purpura, general manager of the Mule iON cloud platform. "The Mule iON cloud integration platform is destined to play a major role optimizing the go-to-market activities of today's SaaS businesses, and help them focus on their core competencies instead of worrying about integration."
