Abstract

Integration platforms are modern way to governance, develop and deploy integrations, the connections and data transferring between systems. Integration platforms can be build as an in-house solution, but nowadays the more common way is to buy enterprise integration platforms as a service (EiPaaS/iPaaS) product. However, integration platforms are evolving fast and in our literature review we found out that the definition in the academic research about enterprise integration platforms as a service is outdated. For that, we created a new definition to describe more the capabilities, importance and evolution of enterprise integration platforms as a service by analyzing the leading EiPaaS product descriptions. Our results helps academics and companies gain further understanding about the enterprise integration platforms as a service solutions.
