Accelerating enterprise connectivity with the MuleSoft AnyPoint platform

With an ever-evolving and changing business environment, it is apparent that digital agility is essential for enterprises to drive innovation and deliver new initiatives at a rapid pace.

Enterprises that are able to deliver these to market at a faster pace than their competitors are better positioned to adapt quickly without being slowed by IT and operation bottlenecks. Therefore, it is important to start off on the right footing by building a solid foundation that will enable this to give the business all the chance of success leveraging MuleSoft’s leading AnyPoint connectivity platform to provide a one-stop-shop to connect your applications and data silos, be they on-premise or in the cloud.

MuleSoft, with its AnyPoint platform, is recognised as a leader in this space. BearingPoint has a track record of over 40 years of successfully delivering complex systems integration to our enterprise customers across both the public and commercial sectors. We are recognised by MuleSoft as a certified Systems Integration partner. Our MuleSoft Centre of Excellence (CoE) is based out of Dublin, Ireland and serves both the UK and European marketplace.

The challenges that enterprises often face can deter changes in an organisation.
These can often include some or all the following:
•    Challenging integrations because of years of band-aid solutions that could cost millions
•    Fragmented data resulting in data silos
•    IT struggles to deliver a growing number of projects to keep up with changing business requirements
•    Organisations want to move away from department-specific solutions into a more company-wide API strategy
•    User experiences are difficult to incorporate
•    IT system constraints such as legacy infrastructure

BearingPoint has an established Centre of Excellence (CoE) to meet the continuously evolving demand to connect to data that can be used to create transformative opportunities for organisations.

•    Increased productivity and self-serving IT
•    Enhanced innovation through employee engagement and collaboration
•    Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of enterprise integration
•    Disaggregated legacy systems which are resource-constrained and failure-prone

Partnering with MuleSoft, BearingPoint has helped leading organisations achieve with the AnyPoint platform. Examples include:

•    Leveraging MuleSoft Anypoint Platform to underpin the world’s leading logistics company’s Integration Platform using the API-led connectivity approach to integrate between the various SaaS and on-premise applications within the organisation to begin their digital transformation journey.
•    Leveraging an API-lead integration approach, BearingPoint helped the world's most exclusive skincare brand consolidate their global customers into Salesforce leveraging MuleSoft to unify customer POS systems and corporate master data systems.
•    Leveraging MuleSoft to surface tenant data to mobile application for the largest social housing organisation in France. This transformed how the organisation manages relationships with tenants resulting in a significantly better experience for citizens.

BearingPoint's MuleSoft team worked with one of the UK’s largest insurance companies to define an integration design to enable enterprise connectivity to the portal and to core business systems including claims and document management systems. This helped the client transform the way it interacts with its broker community by providing a digital platform to brokers to digitise the sales and claims process.

With the explosion of disparate technologies today, connecting them all quickly and efficiently is the key to gaining a competitive edge. Through its partnership with MuleSoft, BearingPoint is enabling its customers to create a dynamic application network to achieve their goals and accelerate their pace of business.
