SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MuleSoft, provider
of the leading platform for building application networks, today
released a new Forrester Consulting Study that shows a composite
organization deploying Anypoint Platform™ obtained a return on
investment (ROI) of 445% over three years. The study quantifying
the Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) of Anypoint Platform highlighted
$7.8 million in benefits for a
composite organization, including improved productivity and project
output, reduced maintenance costs, and increased revenue as a
result of enabling organization-wide reuse of APIs and
integrations. By combining MuleSoft's technology and methodology
for business outcomes and organizational enablement to accelerate
digital transformation, customers are able to deliver modern
experiences and empower everyone across their organizations to
innovate better and faster than before. The study is available for

API-led connectivity drives millions of dollars in benefits
for the business
With MuleSoft, CIOs are able to
decentralize IT and empower the business to deliver new revenue
channels, increase operational efficiency and create differentiated
customer experiences. The Forrester study reveals that MuleSoft
helps shift its customers' approach to API creation and
integration, enabling organizations to accelerate their speed of
delivery and internal agility through API-led connectivity and
reuse. Every time an API is reused, it increases productivity and
saves time and resources that can be put to work elsewhere. By
aligning development teams on an API-led connectivity approach, a
strong bank of reusable, externalizable technical components,
capabilities and services will grow into a powerful application
network that the rest of the business can consume.
With Anypoint Platform, customers found a significant
improvement in their reuse rate of APIs, quadrupling the number of
projects worked on over three years. Examples of other benefits for
a composite organization over three years include:
- $4.2 million increase in API
reuse value through Anypoint Platform, which includes increased
reuse rate and time savings from project efficiencies;
- More than $1 million in time
savings toward building new APIs;
- At least $740,000 incremental
revenue from the platform's contributions to various projects;
and
- 90% less time spent on maintaining APIs and integrations,
allowing time to be reinvested in innovation
A director of enterprise application integration services at a
healthcare company, a customer interviewed for the Forrester TEI
study, commented on Anypoint Platform's single view of all APIs and
integrations: "Our ability to proactively monitor APIs reused
across projects with Anypoint Platform's alerting capabilities has
led to a 30% reduction in issues related to integrations and API
usage. That's significant for us as we have a relatively
small-sized team and we need to stay efficient."
MuleSoft brings the power of APIs and integrations into one
unified platform
Prior to implementing Anypoint
Platform, the interviewed organizations considered several
solutions for API development and management as well as
integration. Instead of needing multiple solutions, they chose
Anypoint Platform to deliver both full lifecycle API management and
integration platform as a service (iPaaS) on a single runtime,
allowing customers to consolidate the number of integration
technologies and applications used. The result is more than
$1.6 million in savings from reduced
maintenance of APIs, integrations and retired technologies.
According to the vice president and director of architecture and
strategy at a financial services business, another customer
interviewed for the Forrester TEI study: "What puts Anypoint
Platform at the top is that it has API development features built
on an integration platform, so it's not just pure API management.
We build a lot of applications to meet client needs and it helps
that we can build APIs and conduct integrations in a scalable way,
but we don't have to rewrite customized code or take more
development hours because of its ease of integration."
Simon Parmett, CEO, MuleSoft,
commented: "Integration is one of the most strategic initiatives a
company can invest in today. In our view, Forrester's study
underscores how MuleSoft is uniquely positioned as the engine for
digital transformation, combining API and integration capabilities
in one platform to fundamentally accelerate the clockspeed of
business. With the #1 integration and API platform, companies can
leverage their existing infrastructure investments and take
advantage of new technologies to meet changing customer
demands."
