Proposal Quotation and Summary
CAST IRON OVERVIEW
Founded in 2001, Cast Iron Systems is the #1 SaaS integration vendor. Cast Iron has hundreds of customers across all industries and around the world, including Allianz, British American Tobacco (BAT), AmerisourceBergen, Emerson, IBA Molecular, Krueger International, Peet's Coffee & Tea, PGP Corporation, Salesforce.com, The Sports Authority, and Tesla Motors, among many others. Backed by Sequoia Capital, Norwest Venture Partners, and Lehman Brothers, Cast Iron is privately held and led by experienced technology executives from Informatica, PeopleSoft, Siebel, Oracle, Vitria, and webMethods.
Cast Iron integration appliances eliminate the cost and complexity associated with traditional software-based integration tools. Our appliances are built from the ground up to dramatically simplify the integration experience for our customers. This built-in simplicity enables both large and midsize companies to realize the following benefits:
Integrate in days —achieve rapid implementations due to the plug-and-play nature of the appliance and the configurable integration capability
Save 80% or more — since the appliance contains everything needed to complete integrations, there is no need to install and maintain multiple components (servers, software, adapters, database, etc.)
Free-up scarce resources — the visual UI and the "configuration, not coding" approach eliminate the need to use middleware experts for application integration, and allow companies to use their experts on more strategic projects
Simple, yet comprehensive, solution — while these appliances complete application integrations using just 3 steps: plug-in the appliance, configure the integration, and run it; these appliances are also scalable across multiple integration areas for connecting packaged apps to legacy apps and other endpoints (like flat files, databases, etc.)
Easy changes — as business needs change, the graphical UI and “configuration, not coding” approach of the appliance allows companies to implement changes very easily
