Through webMethods, we’re helping companies to overcome those challenges so that they can focus on innovation and great customer experiences.”

The latest updates to webMethods include the following new capabilities:

• webMethods DataHub: With the new webMethods DataHub, users can now access near real-time data insights using analytics, to make live business decisions. Users not only reduce their time to access data, but they can also do so through their choice of leading industry BI tools such as Microsoft Power BI, Tableau and others. This new offering will eliminate batch downloading and serve up data faster without involving complex IT approvals and coding.
  
• webMethods.io MFT: As part of the multi-function iPaaS, Software AG is now adding MFT capabilities to current integration, B2B, API and IoT capabilities to webMethods.io. With the addition of cloud MFT for internal and B2B file transfers, Software AG continues to enhance its industry leading iPaaS.
