Integration Insider: Azure Integration Services, The Integration Platform You Didn't Know You Had

For our first episode of Integration Insider, we thought we would kick it off by highlighting the powerful capabilities of Azure Integration Services (AIS).

Azure Integration Services - The Integration Platform You Didn't Know You Had (see below for chapters)

We have many conversations with enterprises fully invested in Azure who are unaware of the robust integration platform capabilities already available to them.

No need to buy a separate integration platform (iPaaS)! Tune in as we unpack the features and benefits of AIS, compare it to other well-known platforms like MuleSoft and Boomi, and explain why AIS is a game-changer for your business integration needs.

Spoiler alert: AIS often works out to a tenth of the cost of MuleSoft and other better-known iPaaS platforms you have to license annually.
