Adapters are iWay Software’s heritage, and our 15-year experience with thousands of customers is brought to bear in the Universal Adapter Suite. Over 300 adapters provide easy access to any information system. Smaller ESB and BPM vendors don’t provide the number of adapters iWay Software does, and large vendors with complex software suites often have different adapters for each part of the software stack. iWay’s Adapter Suite works across everything in the SOA Middleware Suite, and more.

Why Off-the-Shelf Adapters?
Customers who have strategically positioned the iWay Universal Adapter Suite within their environment have realized increased productivity, reusability, flexibility, and business agility. Read more on the key benefits iWay Adapters provide.

Web Services Creation With Adapters
The iWay Universal Adapter Suite provides the world’s most comprehensive adapter technologies for creating and deploying Web services from existing systems with the smallest amount of custom code.

Just as iWay Software has been the leading vendor of adapter technologies since its inception, it currently provides the most effective way to create Web services from any of seven classes of adapters – over 300 adapters in all.

Interface Reusability
All interfaces created with iWay adapters are reusable across any of the standards, platforms, and technologies that the iWay Universal Adapter Suite supports. The iWay Universal Adapter Suite loosely couples service interfaces from the platforms they are deployed to. This guarantees that interfaces created on platform ABC today, will work on platform XYZ tomorrow – even if XYZ has not yet been invented.

Service and Events for Seven Classes Service and event interfaces are the foundation of a service-oriented architecture. iWay adapters abstract the complexity that exists in proprietary systems and rapidly deliver interfaces that shield developers from their low-level complexities. The iWay Universal Adapter Suite supports the following system classes:

Inside the Adapter Factory
iWay Software’s team, building on over a decade of service to more than 2,000 customers, creates consistent, high-quality adapters faster than any other vendor in the industry. iWay Software also manages and maintains its custom-built adapters.
