5.5 Application integration: IBM App Connect 5.5.1 User-aligned integration tooling  Connect that make mainframe data and functions available over REST HTTP APIs. These  can then be future exposed by an API gateway such as IBM API Connect, for example in  order to add API management capabilities. For more information on the options for  connecting to mainframes, see the IBM Redpaper  IBM Z Integration Guide for Hybrid  Cloud and the API Economy , REDP5319  ( http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp5319.html?Open ). IBM Cloud Pak for Integration includes a market-leading application integration capability. It  enables the implementation of API and event-driven integrations and provides extensive  adaptation to on-premises and cloud-based applications. It provides tooling that is optimized  to the users’ skillsets, so that they can be productive in a matter of hours and achieve real  results in days. Powerful underlying capabilities facilitate the implementation of even the most  complex integration patterns. As a result, data can be moved quickly, accurately and robustly.  The Application Integration capabilities are also sold separately as  IBM App Connect  (and  previously  Integration Bus ).  IBM Cloud Pak for Integration delivers a range of application integration capabilities and  features including theses:  The Application Integration features include an upgraded desktop user interface that is  coupled with new award-winning browser-based tooling. Together, they bring together the  teams that own and manage the data with those that have the context to apply it. Digital  businesses rely on data that is delivered in the right context, to the right client touch point, at  the required time. The tooling provides frictionless access to enterprise data at the front line  of the clients’ business, whether those individuals are in IT or citizen integrators in the line of  business.  It provides new integrated tooling experiences for the spectrum of users across the digital  enterprise:  Chapter 5. IBM Cloud Pak for Integration  155 GLYPH<SM590000> For the core IT teams that manage the key systems and packaged applications, there is a  rich tooling experience to support all styles of interaction, powerful mapping, parsing, and  transformation. A broad range of functions —including built-in unit testing and the ability  to perform pre-deploy validation, alongside linked browser-based tooling for the  line-of-business teams — ensures that both developers and non-technical users can  rapidly build integration without the need for code.
