The Cloud-Native Integration Platform with Open Source Framework
Integrate systems in a low impact, highly scalable way
With the integration knowledge of IKOR cast in code
Integration needs a place, we have found it: IKOR's proprietary development System Integration Platform (SIP) integrates software products into existing application landscapes in a standardized manner: structured, stable and scalable, connecting all systems involved in a technology-agnostic manner. Specialist departments can significantly reduce their risks with SIP and flexibly implement their processes end-to-end across system boundaries.
Core Functions and Assets
The extensive experience from numerous integration projects has flowed into IKOR’s SIP development
Standardized integration
Core and peripheral systems in existing application landscapes.
Decoupled
Integration adaptors ensure that systems are functionally and technically decoupled.
More efficiency
Vertically and horizontally scalable microservice integration architecture.
System agnostic
All related systems connected to a range of technologies - core systems to sales tools.
Distributed integration logic managed from a central point
The platform centrally controls the distributed integration solutions. A user interface (UI) helps IT organizations visualize, manage, monitor and customize integration flows.
Open source
The SIP core is open-source framework. Based on Apache Camel, Spring Boot and our software architecture, it provides a structure for unified microservices with high flexibility.
More flexibility, less dependencies
SIP makes proprietary, heavyweight integration tools obsolete. Users always retain control of their integration solution.
Ready-made integration adapters: Tested and proven
IKOR has developed more than 80 integration adaptors based on SIP. Customers can use the integration know-how cast in adaptors directly as a premium feature within an adaptor library.
Product Components
Modular architecture of the integration platform
Example: Integration services in target infrastructure
Open-source Framework
The SIP architecture approach allows the integration logic to be encapsulated and decoupled from the business logic. The same scenarios can be implemented uniformly across company boundaries. The framework improves system extensibility (e.g., in adaptor development) and maintainability of all assets.
You can download the framework here via GitHub open-source: https://github.com/IKOR-GmbH/sip-framework
SIP Cloud Platform
The platform can be deployed in different, customer-specific target infrastructures as a fully comprehensive integration solution. Its development and operating platform bundles the logic of all systems to be integrated with integration adapters (SIA) system-agnostically.
Additional features, such as the graphical user interface, centralize the independent integration adapters and thus reduce the complexity of your integration solution.
The SIP Cloud Platform is available in different delivery models. It can be operated in a cloud, on-premises, or hybrid. IKOR supports the delivery and operation of each model with managed services.
Adaptor Library
The System Integration Adaptors (SIA) can be operated independently - with a dedicated functional responsibility per adaptor. The growing Adaptor Library offers SIP users access to proven adaptor solutions and thus to the deep expertise of a broad community.

- As part of the open-source community, you gain insight into the integration standards of today and tomorrow
Benefits of SIP Cloud and On-Premises
Central control and monitoring
The central administration interface displays the status of all adapter instances on a graphical dashboard.
View adapter-dependent integration scenarios, interaction history (success and error rates), metrics, and health information
Graphical overview of usage and utilization metrics
Control (pause, resume) of individual integration routes or entire adapter instances possible
Stable through test automation
Creation of test cases in a particular SIP format
An integrated test framework can read in test cases and verify adapter correctness against specified test scenarios.
Automated regression tests can be coupled to the adapter and executed as part of the build process.
- Test cases can be either:
- started from the administration interface or
- executed via an interface in running adapter instances
