Portellus Inc., a provider of change management solutions for the insurance industry, has announced the launch of PIXMO, a stand-alone integration services hub that streamlines system-to-system integrations. PIXMO standardizes and reuses integration code to deliver integrations between systems for greater IT flexibility and responsiveness.
Traditionally, individual application programming interfaces are developed for each service and/or system to connect to, making integrations a laborious and time-consuming undertaking. These custom integrations are expensive to maintain and, due to the nature of their connectivity points, they frequently break and cause disruptions in service or communications. PIXMO standardizes and reuses various components to achieve connectivity between legacy systems and third-party providers. PIXMO utilizes a service-oriented approach to architecture design to enable IT departments to manage more easily diverse internal and external system environments. As a result, adding new service providers and connecting disparate applications can be done in as little as hours, not weeks or months.
"Reoccurring integration challenges often plague organizations that are forced to manage numerous integration points between disparate systems and third-party service providers," says Michael Goldsby, chief technology officer at Portellus. "We architected PIXMO as a piece of middleware to alleviate IT's resource burden, reduce integration eminence and development costs, and eliminate integration breaks."
