DENVER and ARMONK, N.Y., April 27,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud Elements, an API integration
provider, today announced a collaboration with IBM (NYSE:
IBM) to deliver a series of new connectors in IBM App Connect,
the company's premier cloud integration platform, for users to
quickly connect apps to automate tasks and boost productivity.
The collaboration is designed to extend the reach of IBM's App
Connect catalog with potentially dozens of new connectors to
leading cloud applications. IBM customers will be able to leverage
these applications within the sophisticated App Connect interface
to automate integrations and get notifications, sync data and track
outcomes rather than manually performing integration tasks, which
have historically been thought of as high touch and repetitive.
"We chose Cloud Elements because of their novel canonical data
and object model which normalizes connectivity to cloud
applications," said Tony Curcio,
Director of Application Integration at IBM. "This approach helps
accelerate IBM's time to market for these new connectors in IBM App
Connect. In working with Cloud Elements, we look forward to a
significant reduction in the development time, cost and maintenance
for our platform."
Cloud Elements' Element Builder, a tool to extend the
capabilities of Elements or build new Elements from scratch, has
been enhanced to tightly integrate with the IBM App Connect
environment. This capability helps accelerate IBM's time to market
for third-party cloud services and removes maintenance concerns, as
Cloud Elements automates the maintenance, monitoring and version
control of these connectors.
"Our collaboration with IBM is furthering Cloud Elements' vision
of automating the distribution of Elements (connectors) across
leading integration platforms. Together, we are reaching and
connecting as many cloud applications as possible," said Cloud
Elements CEO and Co-Founder Mark
Geene. "IBM will benefit from our rapidly expanding catalog
and the updates we make to normalize APIs from various sources into
easy-to-use API Hubs."
