Imagine a well-organized office, where employees are busy at work. Documents are sent from one department to another, decisions are made and tasks are completed. This may look like a typical workday in many companies, but there is an essential element that ensures everything runs smoothly: middleware.
Middleware is like a company's mailroom. You don't see it on the outside, but it moves information from one place to another, both inside and outside the organization. Compare it to the postal service that delivers letters and packages. Middleware does something similar, but digitally.
In the digital world, middleware works by connecting different software applications together and ensuring that they can communicate seamlessly. This is especially important in B2B environments, where companies often deal with a complex ecosystem of applications.
API Links, or Application Programming Interfaces, act as the mailmen of middleware. They are like the people who make sure the right information gets to the right place. API Links enable different software applications to talk to each other and exchange data, just as letter carriers carry letters from one location to another.
An online store receives a new order. This order must be processed, the inventory updated, the invoice generated, and the customer received a confirmation e-mail. This process may involve several software applications, such as an e-commerce platform, an inventory management system, an accounting program, and an e-mail server.
Without middleware and API Links, this process would require time-consuming and error-prone manual effort. With middleware, these steps can be performed automatically. API Links ensure that the right information is sent to the right place at the right time, similar to how postal workers ensure that letters are delivered to the right addresses.
