PropelXsoi from Propylon offers a fast, flexible and low-cost way to develop and automate business processes that span multiple business functions and back-end systems. PropelXsoi is designed for integration projects across large distributed networks that require federated control and/or partially automated workflows.

70% of the average IT department budget is devoted to data integration projects according to IDC, and many of those projects go considerably over time and budget.

For many years, software vendors and standards organisations have concentrated on the problem of getting systems to talk to each other. The emphasis has been on low-level protocols and the exchange of processing logic to enable electronic conversations between applications. These integration approaches, including CORBA, DCOM, and point-to-point integration using APIs have resulted in very complex, costly and brittle systems that are hard to maintain and even harder to change. They have also made enterprises more dependent than ever on their vendors.
