webMethods Integration Connectors

webMethods allows you to integrate everything, anywhere. To help you integrate faster and more easily, the webMethods integration platform offers more than 600+ proven connectors that are ready out of the box. Use webMethods Integration Connectors to bring your entire business ecosystem together, solving complex workflows and automating critical processes without writing or maintaining custom code.

Save time, resources and money with ready-to-use connectors that streamline and accelerate the flow of information across databases, SaaS applications, systems of record, partners, IoT devices, and more—plus, send or receive data and files from a wide range of technology sources using standard protocols and data formats such as HTTP(S), FTP(S), and JMS.

Connect to cloud and big data

As businesses move to the cloud, customer, sales, and product data becomes splintered across cloud and on-premises systems. Much of that data is siphoned off to big data warehouses. Fragmentation can make it difficult to get a single view of your product inventory, your customers, and your sales status.

Connect to IoT devices

It’s not just the cloud where new data sources are emerging: with IoT (the Internet of Things), you can receive and send data from “things” such as industrial machinery, equipment in the field, and many other devices.

Connect to core systems of record

At the same time, traditional on-premises packaged and custom applications like SAP are still the systems of record for core business data such as financial records, and those connectors are some of the most complex to create. Even mainframes are still crucial in many industries.

Connect to B2B partners

When working with partners, many protocols and standards must be strictly adhered to. Standards like SWIFT, for example, ensure the exchange of financial information is reliable and secure.

Codeless connectivity

webMethods connectors make it easy to build advanced queries and updates using logic language. Connector services automatically introspect available fields and types in an application or database. These services can then be included in the logical flow of a service for low-code data mapping.

Connection management

With both on-premises and cloud applications, you may have a limited number of connections. When you reach that limit, you may be unable to connect, effectively shutting down any related workflow. The webMethods connector platform provides connection pooling as well as visibility into connection and session usage.

Security

Security is a key requirement when transmitting both business data and customer data. webMethods has support for a broad spectrum of security protocols, policies, signatures, and encryption with its connectors so that you can protect your services and data.

Usage tracking

Many SaaS applications charge using consumption-based metrics, and as developers consume resources via APIs, hidden charges can build up. When using cloud connectors, it’s important to track usage to ensure you don’t exceed your SLAs. webMethods provides visibility into consumption statistics and offers the ability to limit your usage to control costs.

Data compression

Cloud infrastructure providers often charge for transferring data. Compressing and caching service requests to minimize the amount of data in the service can help business save money and reduce risk of unexpected charges. webMethods empowers you to minimize the cost of data in the cloud.

Custom connectors

Many businesses have custom systems that deliver their differentiating products and services. webMethods allows you to create a custom connector that runs on the webMethods connectivity framework. This enables you pull custom systems into automated workflows and processes easily. It also gives you the benefit of drag-and-drop data mapping in webMethods along with the other capabilities of the connectivity framework including multiple authentication methods, session and connection management, and more.

Cross-version compatibility

As SaaS applications, on-premises applications, devices, and other systems change, packaged connectors can stop working. webMethods connectors are maintained across versions so you can upgrade your applications without risk.
