Budget is the most cited obstacle, with 36% of technology professionals saying cost concerns negatively impact enterprise integration plans.
WESTON, Florida — November 3, 2022 — Digibee, an enterprise integration platform as a service (eiPaaS) company that helps organizations build flexible and highly scalable integration architecture, today released survey results focused on barriers to enterprise integration. The findings are from a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. CIOs, developers, and enterprise architects conducted April 27-May 5, 2022. The survey focused on the state of enterprise integration and the results are available at Digibee Enterprise Status Integration Report 2022.
The survey revealed that business leaders face many challenges on the path to enterprise integration. The biggest concern is budget (36%), Followed by security concerns (31%), complexity and time (28%), lack of skills (27%)and difficulty of integration legacy systems (27%).
The survey also indicates that cost overruns for integration projects are common. Based on responses from business leaders who have already implemented an enterprise integration strategy, there are three aspects of a project that are most likely to impact budget and spending:
- Competing priorities: The majority of eiPaaS use cases were ranked almost uniformly as priorities: B2B integrations (36%); data integrations (35%); systems integrations (32%); application integrations (31%); and API management (28%). While this result reflects the broad application of eiPaaS technology, a lack of clarity in prioritizing work can complicate the integration strategy, resulting in false starts and costly overlaps.
- System downtime: Some eiPaaS platforms are configured to minimize downtime, but many are not. Ninety-six percent of respondents reported experiencing downtime during an eiPaaS implementation, 48% indicated that the downtime was longer than anticipated, and 9% stated that the downtime was significant and impactful to the business.
- Resources: While 88% of respondents plan to use only in-house resources or in-house resources with support to manage their integration projects, without a low-code eiPaaS platform, specialized teams must spend significant time performing repetitive, low-value work. With less bandwidth, project timelines often extend and costs increase.
“Successful and cost-effective integrations are achievable, but we were not surprised that so many respondents assumed integration was an expensive endeavor, citing budget, security, time and resources as the top challenges,” said Rodrigo Bernardinelli, CEO and co-founder of Digibee. “With the right tools, you can easily leverage internal resources and other efficiencies to complete your project in record time and on budget. Implement an eiPaaS platform that leverages your development resources; rather than centralizing and outsourcing these skills, empower your team with new features and capabilities. The adoption curve between vendor selection and delivering a solution to production should be days or weeks, rather than months. Rather than stifling your team, the right eiPaaS will empower them.”
