Overview
Currently, digital transformation encourages businesses to adopt multiple systems for solving specific problems. Especially for SaaS (Software as a Service) enterprises, using separate systems for different tasks is no longer a new problem. Because of the lack of connectivity between multiple systems can lead to fragmented data, forcing businesses to allocate significant resources to manual data entry or to hire internal/external engineers to develop interoperability solutions. Therefore, we can see how important data integration is as early as possible.
Data plays a crucial role in any business system. In today’s global market, especially in the Japanese market, numerous integrated solution providers exist to help businesses optimize their data, manage business processes effectively, and achieve maximum cost savings.
In this blog, we will introduce 15 reputable data integration platform providers from around the world specifically from the Japanese market. We referred to the rankings of highly rated integration providers or Integration Platforms as a Service (iPaaS) that are renowned for their reliability, user-friendliness, and successful project implementation for organizations both in Japan and internationally. All of these systems were created by Japanese individuals or organizations, or by foreign firms with extensive knowledge of the Japanese market.
