What Makes an Enterprise Elastic?

“Agile”

“Innovative”

“Adaptive”

“Flexible”

“Modern Infrastructure”

“Dynamic”

“Responsive”

“Distributed”

The Elastic Enterprise

“The Fluid Core”

“Radical Adjacency”

“Externalization”

“Digital Competency”

“Operate at Scale”

“Universal Connectors”

“Business Ecosystems”

“Cloud Computing”

Cloud and When?

“Data Gravity” Will Data Reside Behind

the Firewall or in the Cloud?

Traditional Integration Approaches Can’t Keep Up

Legacy EAI– Not built for the web

– On-prem ESB

– Code-intensive

Legacy ETL– Built for rows and columns

– Batch-oriented

– Struggles with real-time

Organizations are increasingly turning to iPaaS offerings because of their close affinity with SaaS and the anticipated greater ease of use, lower

costs and faster time-to-integration than traditional integration platforms. .

About iRobot

13

Needed to increase cadence and veracity of distributed manufacturing data collection processes with a focus on operational intelligence.• Synchronize data

across multiple geos, vendors, and firewalls

“With SnapLogic we’ve been able to eliminate some of the rigidity and time-consuming tasks

related to traditional integration patterns.”

- Jim Teal, Information ArchitectiRobot

14

The Challenges We Faced

Geographically distributed manufacturing

Veracity of data and quality of testing was a concern

Wanted to eliminate FTP and VPN channels

Wanted to eliminate file-based processing

Multiple SaaS applications:

15

Options Considered

Oracle Data Integrator already in use in-house– Re-use existing file based integration patterns

– Establish persistent network connectivity to remote resources and rewrite ODI integrations for database to database integrations, eliminating file management

Looked at another iPaaS solution

iPaaS

16

Why SnapLogic?

Software defined architecture– Control plane in Boston, data planes in China

Standards connectivity, eliminated VPNs, etc.

“Groundplexes”

Schema-less approach

Strongly-type vs. weakly typed

68 to 6 pipelines

17

Next Steps with SnapLogic

New Design Pattern developed is highly reusable and we plan to expand the use cases to include additional areas like:– Quality Data Collection

– Repairs and Returns

– And many more

Expand footprint of SnapLogic with other Snaps for integration of cloud and on-premises apps to eliminate data silos
