Single-purpose SaaS applications Many enterprise teams, particularly within business teams, rely upon an increasing number of single-use applications for very specific functions. While such point solutions have value to the business teams that invest in them, they have almost no value to other teams and departments across the enterprise. These prepackaged applications are often designed to access a data store, route data by some orchestrated logic, add metadata to a specific data point, and notify team members about an action taking place. In other words, the closest a point solution gets to efficient automation is simply executing one highly-specific process. While orchestrating individual processes is valuable to the enterprise, GAPs have expanded the concept by deeply connecting different apps at the API level and adding an intelligent orchestration layer. This intelligent orchestration layer makes it possible to access any data point, route that data based on the logic that aligns with your organization and business goals, and then notify the appropriate teams of any action that has taken place - all within a single workflow. By decoupling workflow automation from prepackaged, single-use software, GAPs are becoming a productivity driver as well as delivering additional cost savings for the enterprise.
