Partnership KIX and OpenCelium
KIX Service Software now works together with OpenCelium GmbH. Anyone who wants to integrate KIX with other software solutions without programming and REST API knowledge can now do so via the API integration platform OpenCelium.
Eye-level collaboration
Rico Barth, CEO of KIX Service Software:
"We are very pleased that OpenCelium and KIX can be integrated quickly and pragmatically - also thanks to open source.
This creates a clear added value for service management organizations that want to manage their tools and services via a central API hub".
Andreas Geist, Head of Solution Sales OpenCelium
"I am very pleased with the uncomplicated cooperation and the rapid progress we have made together.
The strategic partnership between KIX and OpenCelium offers existing and new customers the opportunity to exchange data between applications even more flexibly. In particular, the seamless integration and automated management of API interfaces significantly improves the automation of IT processes.
This significantly enriches projects and enables a more efficient collaboration between customers, KIX and OpenCelium".
Frank Helm, Sales Consultant & KIX-Partnermanager
"The future synergies with OpenCelium were obvious from the beginning. The partnership was quickly established and the added value for customers is enormous due to the respective strengths and ease of integration. It's a very good fit on both a human and technical level.
This was also evident at the first joint appearance at this year's KIXCONF, where OpenCelium was very well received by the participants.
We are therefore looking forward to successful joint projects with Andreas Geist and his team - for the best possible benefit of both our customers".
About OpenCelium
Automated API Management with OpenCelium
With OpenCelium, the open source API management hub, API interfaces can be systematically and automatically configured, managed and synchronized: End-to-end, without code, using a connection wizard that allows users to customize the desired interface by dragging and dropping or to use an out-of-the-box interface from the template library. This connection wizard easily connects IT operations and IT service management applications so they can seamlessly communicate and exchange data with each other. This simplification translates into significant time and cost savings for IT professionals.
Connection wizard instead of API scripting
IT administrators and developers are faced with the challenge of further developing highly distributed systems in data centers and/or in the cloud during ongoing operations and continuously adapting them to current business requirements.Their goal is to ensure smooth IT operations by harmonizing the various components between backend and frontend as well as web and IT services.Their central task is to manage programmable interfaces (APIs) between the various complex components.In simple terms, OpenCelium uses the API of application A to obtain data and translates it into the correct format of the API of application B.
OpenCelium is not limited to two tools or unidirectional communication. Bidirectional communication is also possible.
Why the name OpenCelium?
Mushrooms are enormously valuable and irreplaceable, both medically and ecologically.They recycle organic waste into nutrients and humus.Their mycelium, a network of hyphae, is used by trees to exchange information and warn of threats.
This natural wonder inspires OpenCelium, whose name is derived from the English word "mycelium", with the "my" replaced by "open" to emphasize our open source philosophy.OpenCelium provides an open technology that connects applications and automates processes, similar to the way mycelium enables trees to communicate.
