Regardless of your approach, they all come together and help deliver value to the business to meet your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n As Apps move from concept to reality they are often pulled in many directions by numerous teams and individuals, ultimately leading to what can be called the wall of complexity. Some of these walls require additional middleware to tackle them.<\/span><\/p>\n Here is an example: you have an app that needs to be able to tie in to your Salesforce marketing automation system , your SAP integration , your Product Managers need to be able to include additional information from analytics environment and with all of these new integrations a new identity is required for access and your IT security protocol must be adhered to. All these seem to be a simple series of changes that can occur at any given moment but behind the scenes things are more complicated. How do you take a different interface point like an analytics platform or an SAP API and make it easily consumed by a separate developer team that might not have the expertise in that other system?\u00a0 How do you expose those other systems securely without letting protected credentials run loose?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
When your app journey begins you will notice that you will be a part of a multi-layered architecture:<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.prominic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HCL-Volt-MX-25.02_2.jpg” alt=”HCL_Volt_MX_app_architecture” title_text=”HCL Volt MX 25.02_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”]
