IBM's enterprise-grade API management platforms: API Connect and webMethods. For large organizations with complex requirements, established vendor relationships, and multi-million-dollar digital transformation programs. Built for regulated industries and complex organizational structures.
These platforms go beyond simple API Gateways. They provide complete integration suites with ESB capabilities, B2B connectivity, workflow automation, and full lifecycle management.
IBM's flagship API management platform with deep integration into IBM Cloud, DataPower gateways, and enterprise service buses.
Integration platform combining API management, ESB, B2B integration, and process automation in a unified suite.
Komatsu Australia, one of the world's leading construction and mining equipment manufacturers, chose IBM webMethods to overcome limitations of their legacy ERP system and transform into a data-driven business.
Komatsu's legacy ERP system could only process CSV files in batch jobs, making real-time or push data access impossible. The company needed to transition into a data-driven organization capable of sharing real-time information with internal teams and external partners.
Komatsu deployed IBM webMethods as their hybrid iPaaS solution, serving as the glue between critical systems. The platform's B2B technology streamlined procurement processes and simplified partner integration.
With IBM webMethods, Komatsu Australia dramatically accelerated their integration processes and enabled employees to perform system integrations without heavy technical dependency.
