iHub Cloud Service (iHub CSTM)Integrating your Cloud and On-Prem systems with Inspirage’s Application Middleware Platform

The ChallengeAccording to a 2016 Market Research Study* conducted by Inspirage’s Management Consulting practice, a “lack of system integration” is the #1 obstacle preventing organizations from achieving their supply chain goals and objectives. Moreover, integration concerns represent the second biggest obstacle preventing companies from moving to the Cloud.

Whether you’re dealing with on-prem to on-prem or on-prem to Cloud or Cloud to Cloud, integration is sometimes the largest element of any IT initiative. Not only does the integration need to be built, but it needs to be scalable to handle increased data volumes, as well as a diverse set of objects types and ever-changing business processes. Furthermore, the integration solution must be flexible to respond to system updates and upgrades with minimal impact.

How can companies quickly embrace the Cloud while maintaining their existing IT solutions that still have some legs to them?

iHub for Innovation ManagementIntegrating Agile PLM with ERP and Cloud solutions It is estimated that 70%-90% of a product’s cost is baked in during the design phase, which means critical information about the product is needed during ideation and design. Integrating solutions like IM Cloud Service, CRM and QMS systems to Agile PLM allow for intelligent decision making during the most critical phase of a product’s lifecycle. Furthermore, the approved data needs to be accurately transferred to transactional systems, such as ERP and the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN,) without any data integrity loss. Additionally, detailed auditing of the data transactions is required to properly trace data communication between systems to identify when the product record details were received.
