The Endless End of Life Cycle with MuleSoft

Sometimes it’s not easy being a MuleSoft customer. While we’ve never been there, plenty of our customers have. 

The licensing model is expensive, with support and maintenance also taking big bites from the bottom line. Training (or hiring) people to work with the technology is another kick in the pants, with special certifications and courses chewing up IT budgets and sidelining the only people able to make MuleSoft work. According to our annual survey, maintenance and training are top of the list for non-iPaaS integration budgets, eating up almost 40% of the spend. So we’re not talking peanuts.

The technology, back in its heyday, was pretty amazing, delivering integration capabilities for SaaS, on-premises software, legacy systems, and other platforms. But technology from the early 2000s is not sufficient for organizations that need meaningful change. Today, enterprise integration is an enabler of innovation and agility. If it’s constraining the business, then it’s not doing its job.

Creating a Seamless Customer Experience in Ecommerce Environments

There are countless articles on how to build a meaningful customer experience strategy, whether specifically in ecommerce or in any type of selling environment. And while we all strive to continuously, proactively add technologies and process improvements designed to enhance the experience of our customers, sometimes a cautionary tale – learning what not to do – can be particularly insightful.  

Everyone has been in the role of consumer, so it’s not a stretch to put yourself in your customers’ shoes. What excites you? What entices you to buy? What prompts you to leave a 1-star review or quit on a sale before it’s final? Regardless of what’s being sold – from souvenir t-shirts to private jets – the desired experience is essentially the same. In this blog, we share a true narrative customer experience gone wrong, and tips on how to avoid this sort of scenario.

How Low-Code Integration is Changing the Lives of Software Developers

Once considered an impediment to software development, low-code was viewed as a rigid, templated coding style that hindered creativity. 

Today, many software engineers and developers view low-code as a liberator…almost the AI of software development, automating mundane steps while freeing up human capital to focus on higher value work.
