A Reference Architecture
for Hybrid Integration
Kim Clark
Integration Architect
Offering Management
Digital Applications
Common use cases for hybrid integration within digital transformation
APIs	
1	
A. Join the API Economy B. Productivity C. Refactor for innovation
Automa,on	
Enable new channels for
revenue by monetizing
existing data via the API
economy
Enable line of business to
automate their own work
across SaaS and existing
systems of record
Make a fundamental shift to a
composable application
architecture, and cloud-based
partners, to enable innovation.
Business
projects are
driving the
“hybrid”
agenda
Hybrid Integration Styles
Combining app integration,
api integration and data integration
Hybrid Deployment
Software can be flexibly deployed on cloud
and on-premises to optimize solution
architecture
Hybrid Connectivity
Reach across secure connections to get to
data where it is from wherever you need
2
Hybrid User Communities
Used by both IT as well as LOB who are
adopting integration tooling to automate
application interactions.

In a perfect world…
•  Application teams self-administer
exposure of their own APIs
•  Access to external APIs is governed using
the same mechanisms used to govern
access to internal APIs.
•  Application teams handle their own
integration needs using a productive
subset of the tools available
•  Application logic is firmly seated with the
application teams
•  API monitoring/diagnostics are gathered
consistently across the organisation
•  Security models are implemented more
consistently
