MODERN INTEGRATION
FOR SOFTWARE VENDORS
An iPaaS Ecosystem of Applications and Integrations
Everyone is in the
Software Business
And business leaders will no longer tolerate data being
scattered among application silos.
Software has dominated the world of business for many
years now. It’s become such an integral part of the
business world that 2014 saw a number of high-profile
CEOs and notable industry analysts proclaim “every
business is in the software business.”
Unfortunately, finding a consistent cost-effective way
to give business users access from any device and
through one interface to critical data spread across
cloud applications and on-premise systems is one of
the biggest challenges facing organizations today.
So what does that mean? It means that business
systems and corporate data management is no longer
just an IT problem, but squarely on the list of top
priorities for executive teams. In fact, a recent Forrester
Research Report even argues that corporate software
assets will be more valuable to the business than
financials. The reason? Software innovation and
efficiencies are the greatest opportunities for financial
gains.
In a CIO Magazine article discussing the top trends for
data in 2015, IT experts noted that deeper integration
of disparate ERP and CRM applications with business
intelligence for sound decision making is a paramount
priority for businesses. CEO Jeremy Roche at
FinancialForce, describes the challenge as an
inevitable investment companies need to make in
order to be competitive in business “rather than allow
vital customer information to be scattered among
various pieces of a business.”
For software vendors this is great news- your services
are more valuable to your customers than ever before –
but it is also a call to action.
The solution is iPaaS, Integration Platform as a Service.
Businesses can no longer survive with software
operating in a silo. They need their business systems
to communicate across the enterprise and deliver
meaningful insights to a variety of stakeholders.

APIs & Integrations
In order to meet these new requirements, software vendors and
developers began establishing APIs. APIs expose existing data and
business objects for other applications or devices to consume for
endpoint-to-endpoint integration. There is a variety of integration types
businesses must support to meet the needs of their customers , each
with its unique set of challenges and complexities:- cloud-to-cloud,
cloud-to-on-premises, on-premises-to-on-premises and B2B.
The scope of developing, monitoring and supporting a single integration
is daunting for most organizations. Increasingly more customers are
demanding integrations across the entire enterprise, to multiple
systems, cloud applications and a variety of devices. For small and midsized software companies there simply isn’t the time or the resources to
meet these needs. Most businesses are turning to integration Platform
as a Service (iPaaS) providers like Ryvit.

other business critical applications without additional coding by your developers or implementation teams. We don’t offer toolkits, GUIs,
and SDKs to let you build point-to-point integrations . We build the integration for you.
Easier.
We build software integrations for your company. Behind every Ryvit integration is a team of integration specialists working directly with
you to do the heavy lifting. We design and develop value-adding functionality to meet the needs of your customers. You can integrate your
software application to ERP, CRM, eCommerce, Social apps and specialty industry-specific solutions without exhausting your development
resources….the work is being done for you.
Faster.
Once you have us build an application integration, you can re-use that development investment to connect the correlating database objects
with additional applications available on the Ryvit Platform; Or you can choose for us to create a new application ryvit for another vendor’s
solution if it isn’t already available. You accelerate getting new solutions to market and quickly create value.

Ryvit Components
Ryvit Connector
Many of today’s workhorse software packages are deployed on-premise or use a hybrid of
cloud-based and on-premise deployments to leverage local computing power and ensure data security. For onpremise integrations, Ryvit deploys a small.NET based application we call Connector to send/receive data over an
encrypted HTTPS connection with the Ryvit Application Platform.
Requirement: .NET Framework version 4.5.1 (allows for REST communications) must be installed along with the Anchor Application; Local
database and application permissions; active internet connection.
Ryvit Configurator
The Ryvit Configurator acts as a data director during your implementation setup.
Configurator displays the data from previously disparate, disconnected, silo data sources and uses a graphical user
interface to map the integration intelligently between applications indicating the direction of the data flow on the
Ryvit Application Platform.
Ryvit Integration Database & API
To handle ETL and data mapping requirements, the Ryvit API collects all
inbound data and compares it to the information currently in the integration database for that application, making
changes or additions where necessary. This process essentially synchronizes the customer’s local application
database with ours in the cloud.
Ryvit Data Processor Application
This is the heart of the Ryvit platform. Our processing application
allows us to validate, transform and supplement your data to fit integration needs. By abstracting this logic layer
from API functionality, partners can continue to develop product features independently of systems integrations. As
long as the underlying data structure doesn’t change, your integrations will continue to function as expected.
Ryvit Performance Monitoring
Ryvit integrations are built with a complete suite of logging, self-
diagnosing and reporting features allowing us to continously monitor the health and performance of individual
integrations and executions. The Ryvit team will bring this monitoring functionality directly to our partners allowing
you to monitor the health and performance of your integrations from any device in real time.
Underlying computing resources and cloud infrastructure is monitored around-the-clock with guaranteed 99.99% availability.
Ryvit Business Intelligence (BI)
One of the ways Ryvit is different than other platforms is in our custom
designed integrations. Because we run mirrored databases on integration objects and have the native capabilities to
push and pull data from multiple applications, we can provide partners with insights across the enterprise. This
opens up the opportunities for your business to provide meaningful metrics to executive teams, sales and marketing
personnel, and even customers.
For example, a logistics application integrates with GPS tracking to see real-time location data, but the accounting
team wants to know fuel consumption rates based on weight to ensure costs align with pricing nationwide. Ryvit
Professional Services and our BI Engine can get you to that level of detail – delivering KPIs and data-driven insights
to make your business more efficient and effective.
The availability of the components described is based on our best and current delivery
schedules and subject to change without notice.
