What is an Interface?

Interfaces are used to move data between incompatible systems. There are many ways that data can be transmitted and represented. Luckily, with IguanaX you have the flexibility and control over your data to format and transmit it exactly how your other IT systems need.

Regardless of the type of interface you need to build, it is likely to perform the following tasks:

• Read messages from one or more sources.

• Filter out messages that should not be forwarded.

• Process messages to change formatting, add codes, check data etc.

• Transform/Map messages from the incoming format to outgoing message formats.

• Transmit messages to one or more target destination systems.

The concept of Iguana’s Components lends itself naturally to these key tasks. You can create and link components as the building blocks of your interface.
