All you need to know about Azure integration tools

-

There are four main Microsoft Azure integration tools for applications -- both on premises and cloud-based -- as well as data and processes: Logic Apps, Service Bus, API Management and Event Grid. Learn the basics of each of these Azure integration tools below.

Azure Logic Apps: Logic Apps is a cloud service that enables enterprises to connect on-premises and cloud systems with prebuilt APIs as Microsoft-managed connectors. Users can schedule, automate and orchestrate various tasks, processes and workflows for integration purposes. When logic app, which is an application built by the Logic Apps tool, is triggered, it runs the action needed -- such as data conversion and flow controls. Rather than deal with code, users can build these logic apps with a visual design tool. Microsoft also offers prebuilt template and connector galleries.

Azure Service Bus: Service Bus is a cloud messaging service that transfers data between applications and services via messages. Additionally, it is a way to decouple applications and services from each other. Azure customers might evaluate Service Bus for scenarios such as order processing and financial transactions. A namespace holds all message components, such as queues for point-to-point communication and topics for publish/subscribe. The service also includes various advanced features such as auto-forwarding, dead-lettering, batching and duplication detection.

Azure API Management: The API Management service enables enterprises to create, publish, manage, secure and analyze APIs. These APIs can publish to external, partner and internal developers. The Azure service comprises three primary components: an API gateway, Azure portal and a developer portal. Consider the service to secure mobile infrastructure or run an internal API program, among other uses. This product includes a consumption pricing tier, aimed at serverless architectures, in which enterprises pay per use.

Azure Event Grid: Event Grid is a cloud service that Azure customers use to build apps with event-based architectures and to manage event routing. It is a fit for serverless application architecture, operations automation and to integrate applications. Event Grid natively supports events that come from other Azure integration tools and services, as well as those from the enterprise. The five main components: events, event sources, topics, event subscriptions and event handlers. These components work together in applications to tell what happened, where it happened and what is reacting to it, in addition to the endpoint where publishers send events. Enterprises can choose between customized or resource-defined built-in events.

Microsoft Teams is the home for the modern workplace of the future

W hile using legacy systems, users previously had to jump between several different systems through a series of bookmarks or company portals. This constant switching can be incredibly disruptive. According to a June 2015 UC Irvine study, “The Cost of Interrupted Work: More Speed and Stress,” it can take upwards of 23 minutes for a person to regain productivity after such an interruption. Microsoft Teams is the hub for teamwork Microsoft believes Microsoft Teams is the home for the modern workplace of the future. Out of the box, Microsoft Teams brings together the most common tasks that employees need under a single roof, such as chats, meetings, calls, and the productivity suite of Office 365. By combining these together into a sole product, employees can avoid having to constantly switch between various contexts. Instead, they can spend their time within a single team or channel that effortlessly brings together all the relevant information in-context. The Microsoft Power Platfo

Data Governance with Azure Purview

The modern workplace his a data-centric world. Organisations are always increasing the amount of data they must collect, store, and analyse to inform critical business decisions and measure their organisation’s performance. As data becomes increasingly important, so do the tools needed to discover, manage, and track information in the absence of a data governance program. In the absence of a data governance program, the decisions made about key data systems are made by association staff who “own” the system. When there are different owners for systems (which is very common), the result is inconsistencies in data availability, collection, usability, integrity, and security. This instantly causes data quality problems. It also can negatively impact user experience if there is no integration or procedures to update the existing data within your environment. If you and your organisation find yourselves in such a predicament, Prometix highly recommends deploying an Azure Purview solution.

Collaboration with SharePoint VS MS Teams

-
With all the hustle and bustle of the workplace, it can be hard to find exactly what you’re looking for or know who to ask. Defining who is working on what and how they’re involved in the project isn’t always a simple task. Although SharePoint has made managing and sharing content easier, it still isn’t as seamless as its end users would hope. Being able to access content and applications all in one place is useful but doesn’t solve the problem of how to organize information that is only relevant to certain groups. The main goal of SharePoint is to facilitate collaboration, but when content is broadcasted to the entire organization, it can make end users unsure which information applies to them. Microsoft has acknowledged this issue with the creation of its new collaboration tools, SharePoint team sites and Microsoft Teams . These allow end users to create separate areas specifically designed for certain projects they’re working on and for the teams they’re working with. By organizi
