The shift from the interface to the "integration platform"

Interfaces in legacy IT
In the old world of legacy or on-premise IT, interfaces to other software systems are often complex undertakings. They are more laborious to create and to operate. For two such systems to communicate with each other, deep intervention in their databases is necessary. This has given rise to a culture in the construction industry in which an all-encompassing system software is used for all business and industry processes. The motto here is often: the main thing is a single end-to-end system. What is often forgotten, however, is that individual modules of this system do not meet the actual requirements optimally.

Interfaces in cloud-based IT
Fortunately, interfaces in cloud-based IT are considerably simpler. The big difference lies in the fact that they are much more lightweight. Existing functionality can be drawn on for the data exchange between two systems. This makes the interfaces more robust and less prone to error. Many great new possibilities arise from this.

New strategy: "best of breed"
Thanks to lighter and more robust interfaces, the possibility arises of deploying software in an entirely new way. The "best of breed" strategy means nothing other than putting together those modules that best fit the problems you need to solve.

Implementing the "best of breed" strategy
Our latest achievement, the integration platform, can be used excellently as a basis for implementing the "best of breed" strategy. Our platform can exchange data between different systems fully automatically, on a time- or event-driven basis. This works with Vanillaplan connected or without it - entirely as you wish.
