The Benefits of iPaaS: A Business Advantage Every Integration Leader Needs

24 Sep, 2024 | 5 minutes read

The benefits of iPaaS are evident and clear for any modern integration project. However, creating SnapLogic documentation often gets overlooked. It’s not flashy. Doesn’t make headlines. But let’s be real—it’s absolutely necessary. And when it’s done poorly, you feel it. Your organization feels it. Teams get lost, management stays in the dark, and what started as a smooth operation turns into a headache.

That’s where Pete comes in. It’s not just a documentation tool. It’s an asset for any organization running SnapLogic projects. It creates visibility where there usually isn’t any. It transforms complex integration flows into something you can see, understand, and act on.

Let’s break down why Pete isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a must-have.

Creating Visibility Where It’s Usually Hidden

Let’s face it—integration flows are a black box for most executives. CIOs, CTOs, and business leaders rarely get the visibility they need into these projects. And that lack of clarity? It breeds uncertainty.

Aleksandar, managing partner at ⋮IWConnect and Pete’s biggest advocate, puts it best: “Pete gives a face to the integration, which is usually hidden and always challenged by management.”

Think about it. Management often asks, “Why are we spending so much on integration projects?” Pete answers that question by making the invisible… visible. It produces clean, understandable documentation that shows exactly how the systems talk to each other. No more guessing. No more blind spots.

Pete provides that transparency, empowering executives with insights they can act on.

Governance Made Simple

When it comes to governance, Pete is like having a trusted advisor who never misses a beat. One of the most frustrating things in integration projects is ensuring that everything follows best practices. From security protocols to proper naming conventions, ensuring compliance can be a nightmare.

But Pete? It simplifies the entire governance process. “It applies governance, following rules and standards—are we following best practices?” Aleksandar’s words highlight one of Pete’s strongest features. It doesn’t just document; it ensures your team is doing things the right way.

With Pete, compliance isn’t a separate task—it’s built in.

From Complexity to Clarity

SnapLogic is great at making integrations run, but it’s Pete that makes sense of it all. Without proper documentation, you’ve got endless pipelines, data points, and accounts to manage—but no clear view of how they all fit together.

With Pete, you can take those tangled webs of integrations and turn them into a clear, organized picture. Pete provides detailed dependency diagrams, summary pages, and easy-to-follow documentation that explains your entire SnapLogic project.

It transforms integration complexity into clarity. And for developers and managers, that’s priceless.

Boosting Productivity Where It Counts

Without Pete there is a very big probability that your development teams are burning hours on documentation. Manual processes eat up valuable time. Time that could be spent on building integrations, fixing bugs, or innovating new solutions. In this setting, documentation clearly is a drain. And it is never quite up-to-date.

Pete changes that. “With Pete, we can help you boost productivity by freeing up time for your team to focus on development, not documentation,” Aleksandar says.

And he’s right. By automating the entire documentation process, Pete lets your team get back to what they do best—developing. They don’t need to worry about updating documentation or keeping track of versions. Pete can handle that, saving you time, reducing errors, and increasing team efficiency.

Affordable Transparency for Your Integration Projects

We get it—cost is always a factor. Especially when you’re trying to justify adding another tool to your tech stack.

Starting at just around $1,000 a month, Pete provides tangible value that far outweighs the cost. Consider the amount of time your teams currently spend on documentation and governance. Now, think about reducing that to a fraction.

Plus, Pete offers a free trial period, so you can test it out before making any long-term commitments.

Here’s what one of our users said about the tool just one month in their subscription: “We’re really happy with the tool. We’ve added it just because it gives our management and in-house team that project visibility.”

And that’s exactly it. The visibility Pete provides is a value add—one that makes your team more productive, reduces dependency on developers for simple inquiries, and gives you a clear picture of your integration flows. It’s the kind of transparency every organization should have.

Future-Proofing Your Projects

What happens when you scale? Or change partners? Or bring on new developers? If your documentation is outdated, you’re going to hit roadblocks. Teams will struggle to understand old projects, leading to delays and confusion.

With Pete, that’s not a problem. “For companies that evolve or change partners, having this visibility is crucial,” says Aleksandar. Pete makes sure that your documentation is always up-to-date. Whether you’re onboarding new developers or transitioning to a new integration partner, Pete will always be your buddy.

FAQ

1. Does Pete support version control?

Yes, Pete leverages Confluence’s native version tracking, so you can always look back and compare. For PDFs, versioning is handled manually.

2. Does Pete expose sensitive account information?

No, it doesn’t. Pete is designed with security in mind. It shows the account names but omits sensitive information like passwords or authentication details, focusing instead on what’s being used—not how it’s connected.

3. Can Pete integrate with my existing tools?

Absolutely. Pete seamlessly exports to Confluence, SharePoint, or PDF, so you can continue using your current workflow without needing to switch platforms. It’s built to fit into your existing setup effortlessly.

4. Why should I use Pete instead of relying on SnapLogic’s built-in documentation?

While SnapLogic excels at managing pipelines, it doesn’t focus on project-level governance or comprehensive documentation the way Pete does. Pete provides the additional transparency, governance, code review, and project insights that SnapLogic alone doesn’t offer, making it the perfect complement for your integration flows.
