Calling All iPaaS and tPaaS Providers: It’s Globe Time

Over the past several years, I have written a lot about business transformation from the perspective of helping organizations understand their business strategy, goals, transformation plans and change management requirements.

Successful business transformation demands a substantial investment in business, people, and process changes, complemented by robust support from information and technology. A pivotal aspect of this transformation lies in the realm of technology and services.

• Organizations, in their pursuit of business transformation, often require the integration of existing, new, and emerging technologies and services.
• The ability to access, integrate, manage, and analyze vast sets of data and content is crucial.
• Architecting new systems, encompassing business, processes, applications, services, information, and technology, becomes imperative.

This is precisely where a Transformation Platform as a Service (tPaaS) platform can prove immensely beneficial.

But what exactly is tPaaS?

The tPaaS market comprises providers of cloud services dedicated to empowering customers to reimagine and transform their businesses.

It offers business modeling and process modeling capabilities, critical digital business services (business architecture and design services, embedded AI, advanced analytics, automation), and seamless integration with new and emerging technologies like IoT, robotics, connectors, etc.

These services may be provided through public, private, and hybrid cloud offerings.

Leading tPaaS providers are expected to offer comprehensive support for both business strategy and model architecture consulting services, including solution design and implementation services.

How does tPaaS differ from iPaaS?

In contrast to iPaaS, which is rooted in a traditional IT-centric integration perspective, tPaaS focuses specifically on developing innovative business models. It enables customers to experiment with these new business models while facilitating integration with emerging business-driven technology and existing technology infrastructure. Importantly, tPaaS is an evolution of the iPaaS market.

Market criteria for tPaaS includes all the capabilities of iPaaS, including integration management execution and monitoring, file and data transfer and quality, messaging and event management, and low-code development (connectors, interfaces, etc.). 

In addition, tPaaS provides business transformation services such as scenario planning, business strategy planning, customer experience management, business model design and experimentation, industry templates, and services.

This year, our particular focus is on understanding how providers are or plan to leverage AI-enabled business planning and technology integration services.
