MuleSoft Anypoint Platform Primary Use Case

GO
Greg O
Senior Validation Engineer at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform was purchased through a lot of third-party vendors that we connect to. It's more of an integration-based solution. We have different connections; my work involves more connectivity between ERPs and data storage such as Azure or AWS from SAP. That's what I use for that integration platform.

I can describe the use case for MuleSoft Anypoint Platform by explaining what processes people mostly use the product for.

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can be recommended for all environments - small, medium, and enterprise-level - because they have the facilities and features which small enterprises need. Organizations need to evaluate based on the pricing since they have started with consumption-based pricing nowadays. The effectiveness of this model is still being determined as they are moving from vCore-based pricing to consumption-based pricing. This is something small, mid, and large enterprises need to consider.

Mule Anypoint Platform is used as an integration tool to integrate applications and for data transformations. It is mostly used as an integration tool to connect multiple systems, and it comes with pre-built connectors to allow users to connect with multiple systems, like SAP, Salesforce, or any of the message queuing systems, IBM MQ or Apache ActiveMQ. With Mule Anypoint Platform, connecting multiple systems, integrating them, and transferring data from one system to another is easy. The tool helps users have point-to-point connections and achieve an overall integration.

So what we are trying to do is help a customer create a platform where they can integrate multiple business applications. Previously, they were using point-to-point integrations, but now they want to leverage Mule Anypoint Platform as the integration layer. They have about 60+ applications and close to 300+ endpoints that they want to connect through Mule. They are gradually migrating from SnapLogic and Workato, including data integration currently handled by Talent, to Mule as the unified platform. Our role is to assist in building these integrations. We are retrofitting some of the existing ones into Mule and ensuring a smooth transition from other integration solutions to MuleSoft. Additionally, for new businesses, they plan to build integrations directly on top of Mule Anypoint Platform.

I started using it as a developer. Essentially, we use it for application integration. For example, in one organization where I worked, we had an SAP ERP application, and several other applications were integrated with it. It acts as an integration layer for SAP, leveraging APIs rather than traditional methods like SAP's API for scheduled jobs. This allowed us to integrate ERP applications, document management systems, and web applications more efficiently.

The primary use case associated with the product is that it helps enable integrations and expose them to the front-end channels. Our company is in the process of evaluating products which can seamlessly integrate with our head office and back office systems. Also, my company has to do you with some use cases associated with the front-end part. Basically, my company is probably planning to extend the services and products in our channels.

With the Mule Anypoint Platform, we have addressed several integration scenarios. For example, when integrating systems like Workday, Oracle, ADS, and QAD, Mule Anypoint Platform has significantly improved API connectivity using its experience API system.

In another case, in the healthcare industry in North America, we faced issues with VDA transactions that occurred over two weeks. We migrated to Mule Anypoint Platform-based APIs, which included scheduling and API connectivity.

We are an integrator for Anypoint MQ, based on Mule 4.3, with several active customers. The solution is typically delivered by cloud and there are differing kinds of use cases that we see.

If there is an event-driven architecture in place, then we will use Anypoint MQ to connect the different APIs together (such as the Experience APIs, Process API, and the System API) so as to enable a seamless process while minimizing data loss. That's the main use case seen in our work.

Developer at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Our company is working with a client to create standardization or uniformity across departments and domains. 

Every domain operated on a pilot approach with its own set of standards and technology. There were multiple point form connections and API discoverability for assets. 

We analyzed the environment and found there were issues with transferring master data from SAP to downstream systems. There was an iDOC on the SAP level which contained a batch master for new material and served as a point-to-point connector for downstream systems such as SAP to Salesforce, Informatica, or other systems. 

We recommended that material master data should be implemented in an observable or pub/sub approach. Upgrades or changes to the material master should be generated from the CP side and sent to the solution for dissemination to downstream systems. This eliminates bad jobs and is a real-time approach to point-to-point connections. 

There were also many APIs built in different technologies throughout the organization, with no standard API management capabilities or governance to enforce policies, security, or best practices. We recommended Universal API Management for API registrations because it allows any type of technology or platform and serves as a single point for discoverability, enforced policies, governance, and traffic.

I rate the solution's ease of learning a nine out of ten. It has good documentation and self-learning videos. It promotes usability and provides an end-to-end integration solution with the Salesforce ecosystem

Oracle and Salesforce were the two primary systems that were being done. We were building it out so that we could hook in any of the ERP systems that we had at that company. So, the use case was to be able to connect systems and do process integration across multiple ERP systems.

In a real-time scenario, if you want to connect any system to any system or any application to any application or any message to any message - source to target - you can use this product. Maybe there are different applications and different legacy systems. If you want to connect one system to another system, for example, SAP to Salesforce, you can. If SAP only communicates in certain formats, Salesforce might not understand these formats. However, if I want to pass data from one to the other, I use MuleSoft as the medium to do it.

I've been developing Mule applications and have been using Anypoint Studio for development purposes. I have a Mule Anypoint Studio for the certification to test knowledge of the Anypoint Platform in the cloud. I've never been in a live situation for deployment within the cloud.

We use Mule for daily activities like for domains like retail, eCommerce and the wholesale department. So most of the daily basic integration, ETL jobs when we have eCommerce, they do it in the USA. There are different time zones. In the Belgian system, you begin getting the insights using or doing analysis on the data. It enables us to have real-time integrations. Data flows from different domains as well as ETL jobs and for real-time integration.

There were too many stores to make and to work on one platform, so this was the main purpose of use. There were different texts coming in and other things in the stores. They had to scan them and when they passed this information to other domains, like eCommerce, for example. All these jobs were running at a specific time.
