Software AG (Frankfurt TecDAX: SOW) today announced the
acquisition of Built.io, a San Francisco-based market-leading iPaaS
company. Founded by serial entrepreneurs Nishant Patel, Neha Sampat
and Matthew Baier, software vendor Built.io introduced its iPaaS
offering, Built.io Flow™ in 2015. It has subsequently been named a
Challenger in Gartner’s 2018 “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise
Integration Platform as a Service” and was named a Cool Vendor in
the report “Cool Vendors in Pervasive Integration, 2016.”
Built.io’s Flow and Embed products will come together as a
single integrated offering with Software AG’s globally recognized
webMethods Integration Platform.
Customers will benefit from easy-to-use and robust integration
solutions leading to significantly accelerated time-to-value,
critical to the success of IoT and digital transformation
solutions.
“The unified vision guiding Built.io Flow was to make it faster
and easier to connect any software, system or device," said Nishant
Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Built.io. "Built.io Flow uses a
modern architecture to democratize integration and embed it into
any product or SaaS service. I am thrilled that Software AG
recognized the potential of combining the agility of our
cloud-native integration platform with its proven webMethods
platform to enable powerful enterprise integration and digital
transformation. With our leadership in cloud integration and
Software AG’s leadership in digital transformation through
enterprise integration, we are jointly able to offer customers the
world's most advanced hybrid integration platform.”
The acquisition opens Software AG’s webMethods integration
capabilities to any Node.js developer and allows for
enterprise-wide participation in integration projects. It also
opens Software AG’s application and B2B integration and API
portfolios to fast-growing developer communities and a near
limitless innovation pool – as seen by participation in the
upcoming Node+JS Interactive, the world’s largest gathering of
Node.js developers, taking place in Vancouver from October
10-12.
“This is an extremely significant acquisition for Software AG to
expand its position in the growing iPaaS market and we are
delighted to welcome Built.io to the Software AG Group,” said Dr.
Wolfram Jost, Chief Technology Officer at Software AG. “Cloud
integration is at the heart of digital transformation with 80
percent of the work in IoT projects related to integration. In a
world of decentralized IT architectures based on microservices,
APIs and events, integration is the core capability enabling
end-to-end processes and improving customer experiences. Speed and
flexibility in implementing integration projects are playing an
increasingly important role in business success. Broadening
developer participation within the enterprise, within departments
and within open source communities demonstrates our commitment to
fully addressing today’s customer needs.”
Built.io also extends Software AG’s iPaaS offering to the small-
and medium-sized business market. Software AG’s webMethods
integration Cloud’s focus on enterprise customers is complemented
by Built.io’s extensive experience in addressing the SMB market and
in empowering line of business users within the modern
enterprise.
With Built.io Flow, Software AG can now also deliver
industry-leading integration via a completely embedded offering: An
elegant, cloud-based integration solution that can be easily
incorporated into any SaaS application. This enables end users to
