By selecting the wrong API management platform, you might be making a million-dollar mistake!
Your API-led integration strategy requires a powerful and secure API management platform capability. No doubt, you've done your research and seen plenty of vendors' demos. Still, how to avoid a very costly mistake and choose the best-fit system?
Have the confidence that you are making the right decision - give your team a chance to test MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform first hand! During the MuleSoft Workshop, your team will work on a sample process that replicates the integration you want to achieve. Your team spends a day learning and testing the platform and building APIs for your use case.
After the workshop, you'll be able to make an informed decision based on your team's verdict and decide whether MuleSoft is right for you.
Test MuleSoft on your use caseGuildford Council attended our workshop to test the power of API-led integration on their waste management process. The team was so impressed with MuleSoft capabilities that they quickly moved on to their first project - the Housing services transformation.
The high cost of starting with MuleSoft.
You need to maximise your MuleSoft platform capacity and ensure that MuleSoft generates business value that exceeds the initial investment.
We were recently approached by a hospital trust looking to leverage API-led integration for digital transformation. Their main concern was the high upfront cost.
Navigating MuleSoft's licensing and pricing structures can be challenging. It's not always apparent which subscription type to choose and how many licensed cores to purchase.
Creating an API strategy can generate a vast amount of value, including advanced customer services, streamlined business processes, faster project delivery and powered innovation. To reap the rewards of transformation, you need to start by purchasing MuleSoft licenses and building the foundation for future development.
We offer our clients a Licensing Assessment to manage their costs from the start. As a part of the service, they receive recommendations on API optimisation and a sizing plan to start with a minimum number of cores and gradually add more as required.
You will be delighted with the results - fewer APIs, greater reuse and optimisation of licences at the same time!
Manage your license costsOne of our existing customers wanted to migrate from Mule 3.7 to Mule 4 while moving from a hybrid deployment to MuleSoft's Cloudhub. A proposed transition focused on starting small, gradually moving cores to the new platform as APIs were migrated. As a part of our Licensing Assessment, we also redesigned several APIs with reuse and API-led connectivity in mind.
No time to build the foundations.
You need to rush into development to demonstrate results fast. You cannot afford to lose 50-90 days setting up the foundation for delivery, agree on the standards and build CI/CD pipeline to assure quality and consistency.
As part of our MuleSoft Kick-start Integration Kit (KiK) and the Integration Framework, you get access to our Acceleration Kit. It's a comprehensive set of documented standards, best practices, CI/CD pipelines and pre-built accelerators. In 2 days you have a solid foundation ready to start implementation with confidence and make sure all ships sail in the same direction.
An organisation in the travel industry came to us looking for help. Their integration programme was fragile, had a lot of messy connections and was built with little standards in place. They needed assistance as the programme became difficult to manage and impossible to scale!
We reviewed their implementation and put in the necessary standards and pipelines in place. They had to spend four months redesigning their APIs - something they could've avoided if they built the foundations from the start.
Selecting the first project is overwhelming
The first project must be a raving success to prove you made the right decision and to pave the way forward for your API integration initiative.
You want to test this new platform and demonstrate fast value with minimum risk. With a complex IT estate and growing pressure from business to show results, it's challenging to select the first project. Often, the future of the API strategy depends on the success of the first integration project.
We'll help you select a small project with only a few dependencies to minimise risks. Ideally, it should be a process causing pain to many internal parties. By solving this problem, you will not only demonstrate MuleSoft's capabilities but also win over the rest of the organisation and open doors to many more projects.
Follow the principles of our Kick-Start Integration Kit to automate your challenging business process in 90 days and set a solid foundation for subsequent projects.
Mental Health Concern was looking to improve the digital experience of their patients' and therapists'. They decided on API-led interaction and picked MuleSoft and Infomentum as their trusted partners. Their journey started with our KIK from which they saw an immediate impact: improved their referral process and appointment booking. And that’s only their 1st project!
You have no ownership of your MuleSoft programme.
Fully outsourcing your MuleSoft delivery might keep you in the dark, with zero control and 100% dependency on the partner.
It's convenient to leave a MuleSoft implementation and delivery to an external partner, but only until things go sour. Without a deep knowledge of the platform, your team cannot claim ownership of the MuleSoft programme in case the partner leaves. You need experts to get the most out of the platform and turn your integration initiative into success.
Enable your team through training and set up a Center for Enablement (C4E) to drive forward your integration initiative. As part of our delivery methodology, we help our customers establish C4E and offer MuleSoft training delivered by our experienced instructors.
With your resources embedded into our team, you get fast, high-quality delivery while improving internal MuleSoft capabilities and remaining in complete control of the programme.
After going separate ways from the original implementation partner, a large UK university was left with an integration solution they had very little understanding of. With our guidance, they have set up an internal C4E to govern the delivery and define common standards and reuse principles. The internal resources received MuleSoft training and are now a part of our development team contributing towards project delivery.
Can't do it all! Is it time to offload MuleSoft support?
Your overworked IT team is too busy keeping the lights on instead of advancing business initiatives.
Your API-led integration needs constant attention: small problems have to be identified and fixed before they cause serious issues and downtime. When your team is busy supporting the existing implementation they lack the time to work on strategic projects that drive the business forward. They can’t do it all!
You need to free up your team, leaving MuleSoft upgrades, routine monitoring and problem solving to a reliable, experienced partner. Our MuleSoft support model ensures you have a piece of mind and time to focus on innovation while maintaining complete control of the integration programmes.
Outsource Mulesoft supportA global insurer has to meet the growing demands of their business while developing the internal capability to drive new initiatives. They trust our Managed Services team to run and support their existing API-based integration and applications. Offloading routine maintenance tasks allows them to focus on strategic priorities without distractions.
The ( MuleSoft Workshop) content was excellent and really helped the development team and supporting engineers to get a good feel for what the platform could do and its suitability for the application we had. We went on to choose MuleSoft and Infomentum as a delivery partner, and both have been highly efficient at helping HMLR deliver a series of integrations on two projects.
