As businesses move towards cloud and hybrid environments, providing real-time access to digital assets from anywhere and on any device becomes more of a challenge.
Integration solutions company Jitterbit is launching a new Harmony Live! cloud platform that lets companies quickly design, orchestrate and manage real-time APIs. This allows the connection of thousands of B2B, consumer and mobile apps, as well as smart devices and the Internet of Things.
Harmony Live! goes a stage beyond management and offers API 'orchestration'. This means that APIs are connected to the business, tied to real-time digital processes, and shared securely for plug-and-play connectivity with any system.
Harmony Live! lets non-technical users connect any on-premise system, cloud app or device and expose it instantly as an orchestrated API in minutes. Using the Jitterbit Studio, users can connect, orchestrate and manage their APIs without having to write a single line of code. In addition they can use the Workflow Designer to visually map out business processes.
Live! 'Anywhere' APIs can run in any environment while connected to the Harmony API Gateway, which exposes APIs securely, reliably and with fast response times.
These Live! Anywhere APIs can also be linked to popular apps through pre-built connectors, available for systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce, Autodesk, and NetSuite. These systems can then be securely exposed as a service connected to a specific business process that tie together employees, partners and customers. If a data source, app or device doesn't have an API, Live! can provide it with an Anywhere API, and even combine multiple sources into a composite API to offer services that tie together users, systems and processes.
Live! security controls can limit and block access to APIs and comply with industry standards. These combine with View Live! analytics to reveal how APIs are being used and allow admins to manage them proactively.
You can find out more and sign up for a 30-day trial of Harmony on the Jitterbit website.
