Creating a new joint integration solution with IBM WebSphere was exciting for all of us here at Hubspan and for our IBM colleagues, but the real winner in this deal is the customer. The new solution, called “WebSpan”, combines the Hubspan cloud-based integration platform and IBM WebSphere integration software into a single solution that helps you reduce the cost and complexity of business process automation and integration.
While perhaps cliché, this was one of those “win win” deals. I worked for IBM for many years, and I loved bringing together these two companies in a way that brought value for both sides and our customers. IBM brought us strong WebSphere technologies, vast global reach and thousands of WebSphere sales people that now can provide their customers a choice of a SaaS integration solution. With Hubspan, IBM received a proven, integration platform-in-the-cloud that is cost-effective, reliable and easily scalable, as well as our ability to quickly integrate key WebSphere components onto our platform.
IBM understands that more and more companies are embracing SaaS, because they don’t have the appetite or the budget to invest in expensive, complicated and time-consuming on-premise projects. What’s more, these days, most companies want to start small or address a specific problem and then expand later, and that’s simply not possible if you have to buy, install, configure and maintain hardware and software.
WebSpan solves these challenges, enabling companies all sizes to build integration communities quickly and easily no matter what applications, standards or protocols are being used by the various companies.
This is why our partnership with IBM matters to you. With WebSpan, you get an enterprise-class integration platform that leverages the best of Hubspan and IBM to enable simplified business process automation to address your critical integration needs.
The combined solution offers:
- A scalable solution that easily expands as your needs grow with a cost-effective subscription pricing model
- The ability to leverage your existing infrastructure with no rip and replace
- Rapid deployment in a matter of weeks with fast ROI
- Support for all major protocols, standards, document types and applications
- Packaged integration solutions to solve business process challenges across supply chain, demand chain, logistics, finance, eCommerce and general business issues.
Whether you need to improve the connections between you and your customers, enable a marketplace-commerce application with multiple vendors, integrate logistics automation, automate invoicing or any other business process, WebSpan has a solution that works for you.
And, of course, it’s only going to get better as both companies continue to invest in solving real world integration and business process automation problems.
