Traditional ESB players have (mostly) an on-premises software architecture model that typically utilizes technology common before the rise of the cloud. As such, its heavy on-premises footprint and older messaging and document standards work best for integrating on-premises and aggregated systems. However, these two integration models are seeing some convergence. A major point of difference between ConnectPlaza^® and ESB's in general is the direction of scalability.

ConnectPlaza^® is very well suited for horizontal scalability integration with third parties, partners, and ad hoc applications such as Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. Lightweight and flexible, ConnectPlaza^® enables enterprises and ISVs to quickly connect and integrate their cloud applications and systems.

Last but not least, ConnectPlaza^® is designed in such a way that you do not need in-depth knowledge of integration and has a No coding but a Configuration principle (No Java knowledge required), whereas with Legacy ESB's you require in-depth Java skilled engineers. Because of this you see a trend that implementations of ESB environments are often prolonged and costly projects and that you still need skilled engineers as administrators when in production.

"Sometime ago we built our own bespoke ESB to meet the unique challenges of our customer environments.

Over the years we have attempted to migrate to several tier 1 solutions at great expense, only to find that the promises of capability, flexibility & performance promised fell well short of our requirements

Having now implemented their iPaaS - Connectivity Platform into a Solution, I am pleased to say that ConnectPlaza^® are the real deal.
