Case Study: Bonfiglioli achieves faster, scalable hybrid integration with IBM webMethods iPaaS

Shifting hybrid integration into gear with the right iPaaS

Bonfiglioli, a global manufacturer of gearmotors and drive systems, needed to modernize an outdated integration layer that couldn’t support cloud-native deployments, API creation, or real-time data sharing across its hybrid, multicloud environment. As the company expanded into revenue-generating digital services, it turned to IBM webMethods iPaaS to replace slow, compatibility-prone integrations and enable centralized governance.

IBM implemented webMethods as a single integration platform for hybrid applications, SaaS tools, APIs, and microservices, giving Bonfiglioli low-code automation with IT control. The results included 135 new APIs created in under three years, faster setup in just a few months, a new customer portal, simplified single sign-on across portals, and less manual maintenance—improving productivity, speeding innovation, and supporting future real-time and IoT-driven services.
