Cape Clear 7 ESB for SaaS
Client-hosted integrations
Clearly, not all client-facing integrations are sufficiently interesting or strategic to be hosted by a SaaS provider on a customers’ behalf. Once developed, by the SaaS provider, the customer, or both, it may be preferable for the customer to assume ownership and operation of the mediation. In this case, the mediation looks just like it did before, but it lives on the client side of the connection rather than the server side. It is worth mentioning in passing that there is of course business value in hosting integrations on behalf of customers to ensure correctness, robustness, availability etc. This will of course attract an economic charge in that case.
