cnips Positioning
-
No stored Data cnips is a pure orchestration and integration platform – it does not store any company data, but rather connects systems with one another.
-
Low-Code + Full-Code cnips is designed for both Citizen developers (visual builder) and developers (Python, GoLang, JavaScript) – it’s not an either/or choice. Risks are minimized through centralized governance.
-
Native Identity Integration An iPaaS platform with native integration into cidaas – Europe’s leading IAM/CIAM solution. Ideal for companies looking to implement their identity and integration strategies through a single provider.
-
Fully cloud-based No local installation, no need for your own infrastructure – cnips runs entirely in the cloud and is therefore ready to use right away.
-
Additional distinguishing features Depending on the size of the company, cnips can be used in a variety of ways with Low-Code, No-Code, and Pro-Code: as an API management solution, a process and workflow solution, and for deep technical integrations.
