Integrations used to be treated as a technical task.
Built once, rarely touched, and mostly invisible, until something broke.
That assumption no longer holds.
Today, integrations live on across teams, tools, and companies. They carry business-critical data. They support collaboration across boundaries. And as organizations evolve, integrations evolve with them.
Over time, they accumulate history, dependencies, and risk.
What shifted isn’t just the technology.
It’s the role integrations play inside organizations.
So we took the integration experience further.
Exalate Runs for the Long Run
Most integration tools are optimized for the moment of setup.
Click here, map there, sync enabled. Done.
That works — until it doesn’t.
Once they grow beyond a handful of connections, different questions surface:
Who touched this script last, and can they even remember what it does?
If I change this, what breaks on their side that I won’t know about until Monday?
How do I test this without syncing garbage to production?
Which partner is going to call me first when this goes wrong?
What else breaks if this integration goes down?
Does this sync actually match how the business works – or is someone filling the gaps manually?
These are day-to-day concerns for teams operating integrations across departments, platforms, and external partners.
That’s the gap the Exalate experience is designed to close.
Our Expertise Scales as Things Get Complicated
When integration scenarios get complex — custom rules, asymmetric data sharing, multi-company setups—teams turn to Exalate because simpler tools reach their limits.
Over the years, we’ve worked with teams running:
- dozens (sometimes hundreds) of integrations
- across multiple tools and companies
- with multiple sync directions, different ownership, and risk profiles
What we’ve learned, hands-on: flexibility needs structure.
The Exalate experience focuses on giving teams:
- clearer visibility into what’s running and how it’s configured
- safer ways to test and manage changes
- better oversight as integration setups grow
The power doesn’t change. The way teams run it does.
Built by Engineers. Refined by Reality
Complex integrations are complex for a reason: different systems, different rules, different people involved. Hiding that complexity doesn’t remove risk — it delays it.
At the core of Exalate is an explicit, Groovy-based scripting engine, giving teams complete control and the flexibility to implement even the most advanced integration scenarios – far beyond the limits of template-driven, no-code tools.
So teams can run complexity, not work around it.
The Exalate experience brings together:
- a unified view across integrations
- safer change workflows like Test Run and versioning
- clearer ownership and governance as setups scale
As our CEO Francis Martens puts it:
We don’t want to make integrations seem simple.
We want teams to own what they build – and keep building as requirements evolve.
As part of this step forward, we’re introducing Aida, Exalate’s AI assistant.
Aida helps:
- turn integration ideas into clear, Exalate-ready plans
- generate and refine sync scripts in context
- resolve sync issues faster as integrations scale
What Aida doesn’t do is take control or make decisions on your behalf.
Aida supports expert work but doesn’t replace it.
Available Now. Yours to Choose
The new Exalate experience is available now.
Teams can explore it alongside their current integrations, without migration or commitment, and adopt it when it makes sense for their setup. Nothing is forced.
If you’re already using Exalate, nothing breaks.
More capabilities will follow over time.
Staying True to What Works
Staying True to What Works
It’s not a reset.
It’s not a simplification story.
And it’s not a shortcut.
It’s Exalate doubling down on what we do best: giving teams more flexibility, clearer oversight, and safer ways to adapt as integrations grow.
