Designed to give organizations real-time connectivity across cloud-based and on-premise applications, MuleSoft's integration platform as a service (iPaaS), Mule iON, is enabling SaaS providers (ISVs) and SIs to build and deploy packaged integration apps in the cloud at a lower cost, accelerating their time to market.

The MuleSoft cloud ecosystem includes an impressive lineup of global partners that provide unique SaaS applications and services to address Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Human Resource Management (HRM), Project Management, eCommerce, Social, Mobility and additional customer challenges.

"MuleSoft is 100-percent focused on application and data integration, making it easier for businesses to move to the cloud.

At the core of Mule iON is MuleSoft's Anypoint™ technology, which gives cloud providers on-demand API connectivity to hundreds of on-premise and cloud-based applications. Using Mule iON, SaaS providers are able to rapidly address customer integration requirements and drive new business with embedded connectivity to third-party applications. Similarly, leveraging an extensive library of cloud connectors and repeatable integration apps, SIs are able to reduce customer implementation times and minimize overhead costs with proprietary and repeatable business integration processes.
