Azure Integration Services: Microsoft's Integration Powerhouse Answer to Digital Transformation

Horton Cloud

Applications don't exist in isolation. In today's interconnected digital landscape, the true potential of any software emerges when it seamlessly communicates with other applications.

This interconnection isn't just a luxury; it's a fundamental necessity for organizations to drive efficiency and maximize the value from their technological investments.


Recognizing this vital demand,


 Crafted with precision and understanding of modern business needs, Azure Integration Services furnishes the quartet of pivotal technologies that underpin robust cloud-based integrations.


The four core cloud services required for integration today are:


  • A way to publish and manage application programming interfaces (APIs). This API service makes software services accessible to other software, whether those services run in the cloud or on-premises

  • A straightforward way to create and run integration logic. For example, you might need to implement a business process that relies on several different applications, all accessed via APIs. To create this kind of workflow, an iPaaS provides orchestration, typically with a graphical tool for defining the workflow’s logic.

  • Some way for applications and integration technologies to communicate in a loosely coupled way via messaging. This service provides queues that hold messages until they can be picked up by the receiver. This lets applications and integration software communicate asynchronously, even across diverse technology platforms, something that’s often required in integration scenarios.

  • A technology that supports communication via events. Rather than polling a queue in a messaging service, for example, it’s sometimes easier and more efficient to learn about changes by receiving an event.


These cloud services are used to integrate both cloud and on-premises applications.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise iPaaS has recognized Microsoft's Azure Integration Services as a standout performer, scoring it higher than competitors Boomi, Tibco, and MuleSoft in the Ability to Execute for Enterprise Integrations category. This accolade emphasizes Azure's robust capabilities and its leading position in addressing complex enterprise integration needs.
