An Integration Platform is a software platform that can be used to create system connectivity solutions (that support data exchange tasks and process integration tasks).
- Context:
- It can typically connect Enterprise System with integration connectors and integration interfaces.
- It can typically facilitate Data Transfer between heterogeneous systems through integration workflows.
- It can typically transform Cross-System Data using integration mapping tools.
- It can typically automate Business Process across disparate applications through integration automations.
- It can typically manage API through integration gateways and integration management interfaces.
- ...
- It can often provide Real-Time Integration through integration event triggers.
- It can often implement Integration Governance through integration monitoring capabilitys.
- It can often support Multi-System Orchestration through integration sequences.
- It can often enable Legacy System Integration through integration adaptors.
- ...
- It can range from being a Simple Integration Platform to being a Complex Integration Platform, depending on its integration capability scope.
- It can range from being a Specialized Integration Platform to being a General-Purpose Integration Platform, depending on its integration target domain.
- It can range from being a Basic Integration Platform to being an Enterprise Integration Platform, depending on its integration scalability requirement.
- ...
- It can have Integration Development Environment for integration solution creation.
- It can provide Integration Monitoring Dashboard for integration performance tracking.
- It can support Integration Security Protocols for integration secure data transfer.

- Integration Platform Deployment Types, such as:
- Counter-Examples:
- Application Programming Interface (API) Management Platform, which focuses on api governance and api lifecycle management rather than comprehensive system integration.
- Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) Tool, which specializes in batch data processing and data migration rather than real-time integration workflows and process orchestration.
- Enterprise Content Management (ECM) System, which manages document and content rather than integration between applications and data flow.
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System, which provides integrated business functions within a single system rather than connecting disparate systems.
- Message Queue, which offers point-to-point communication rather than complete integration solutions with transformation and orchestration capabilitys.
