CIPO stands out for its incredibly user-friendly interface and extensive customization options. When it comes to effortlessly connecting with other software packages, our powerful Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) take center stage, ensuring seamless integration and top-notch performance.
Mid-to-large organizations often use multiple on-premises or cloud-based point solutions, such as financials, business, or other IT systems. We understand the need to share certain information across these different systems to create a leaner, more agile environment—eliminating siloed data; hence, we are proud to introduce CIPO’s Microsoft-based iPaaS architecture.
At CIPO, we’ve enhanced our platform with APIs that allow you to import data directly into standard modules like Submittals and Daily Reports, as well as custom modules. This data can be loaded once or updated on a regular schedule.
To support this functionality, we’ve integrated Microsoft Azure’s iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) into our technology stack. This enables us to offer a Developer Portal where developers can access information on our APIs and test them out.
An API is a software interface that enables communication between different computer programs. It defines how these programs can interact, allowing for efficient data exchange and functionality sharing.
Azure iPaaS simplifies the integration process by providing a unified platform for various integration scenarios—data, application, business process, and event-driven integration. It leverages existing connectors and templates, accelerating development and reducing costs by eliminating the need for on-premises infrastructure.
With Azure iPaaS, we can respond swiftly to changing business needs. Its low-code or no-code tools allow you to create and modify integration workflows easily. Plus, Azure’s cloud-native features—like scalability and security—ensure high-performance and resilient solutions.
Azure iPaaS offers comprehensive insights into integration activities through dashboards and metrics. Built-in monitoring, logging, and debugging capabilities make it easier to troubleshoot workflows. Additionally, it enforces policies and standards with robust security features.
Microsoft Azure provides over one hundred connectors that enable CIPO to integrate with various systems. We are continually adding to our list of integrations based on customer demand. Some of the key connectors include Microsoft Apps but also additional 3rd party applications such as:
