ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION MODERNIZATION
Your integration platform shouldn’t cost more than the business it connects.
We replace TIBCO, MuleSoft, IBM and Oracle integration platforms with open Apache-based architectures — flow by flow, in production, without downtime. The licence line disappears. The business logic doesn’t.

Engineers certified in TIBCO and IBM integration products. We know these platforms because we built on them.
THE PROBLEM
The licence you renew every year was decided once, years ago.
A mid-size enterprise running 20–30 integration flows on MuleSoft or TIBCO typically spends $900K to $2.5M over five years in licence and support alone — before a single line of business logic is written. Most enterprise contracts carry built-in annual increases of 5–8%. Since the Cloud Software Group acquisition, TIBCO list prices have reportedly risen 18–27%.
The platforms work. That was never the problem. The problem is that you are paying a recurring fee for capabilities the Apache ecosystem now delivers at production grade — and that every renewal makes the exit more expensive.

SCOPE
We don’t sell integration projects. We replace specific products.
| What you run today | What replaces it |
|---|---|
| TIBCO BusinessWorks · EMS · Rendezvous · BusinessEvents · Hawk · MFT | Apache Camel · ActiveMQ Artemis · Apache Kafka · Apache Flink · OpenTelemetry · NiFi |
| IBM MQ · Integration Bus · App Connect Enterprise · DataPower · webMethods | ActiveMQ Artemis · Apache Camel · Apache CXF · Keycloak · Smooks |
| MuleSoft Mule Runtime · DataWeave · API Manager · Anypoint Exchange · CloudHub | Apache Camel · AtlasMap · Apache APISIX · Gravitee APIM |
| Oracle Service Bus · BPEL Process Manager · Mediator · AQ · WebLogic Premier Support ends December 2026 | Apache Camel · Camunda 8 · Apache Kafka · Quarkus on Kubernetes |
| SAP Process Integration / Process Orchestration Mainstream maintenance ends 2027 | Apache Camel · camel-sap-netweaver · AtlasMap · Saxon XSLT |
| webMethods Integration Server · Broker · Trading Networks An IBM product since 2024 | Apache Camel · Apache Kafka · Smooks · Apache NiFi |
Every component above has a named, production-grade open-source counterpart. Where one does not exist, we say so — the SAP JCo libraries are the one honest exception, and we tell you before you ask.
FOR THE ARCHITECT
Every enterprise integration pattern you run has an open-source implementation.
Content-Based Router. Aggregator. Scatter-Gather. Idempotent Receiver. Claim Check. Wire Tap. Your ESB implements these patterns behind a proprietary interface. Apache Camel implements the same catalogue as first-class, named constructs — the patterns are in the DSL, not something you assemble by hand.
| Integration pattern | How your platform expresses it | Apache Camel construct |
|---|---|---|
| Content-Based Router | Oracle Mediator · ACE Route node · Mule Choice | .choice().when(jsonpath).to(…) |
| Aggregator | ACE Collector node · BusinessWorks Group | .aggregate(expr, strategy).completionTimeout(…) |
| Idempotent Receiver | Custom code, usually undocumented | .idempotentConsumer(header(“id”), repo) |
| Wire Tap | Custom audit branch | .wireTap(“kafka:audit”) — solves regulatory audit |
| Messaging Bridge | MQ–EMS bridge | from(mq).to(kafka) — the basis of zero-downtime migration |
| Message Translator | DataWeave · ESQL · SAP PI graphical mapping | AtlasMap · Saxon XSLT 3.0 · JSLT · Bindy |
The full catalogue — all 65 patterns, with the equivalent construct in TIBCO BusinessWorks, IBM ACE, MuleSoft and Oracle SOA alongside — is published in our pattern library.
RISK
“Without disruption” is a method, not a promise.
01
Discover
We scan your existing artefacts — BusinessWorks processes, ACE message flows, Mule XML, PI iFlows — and produce a costed inventory: every flow, its complexity, its real volume, its dependencies. You get a number before you commit to anything.
02
Bridge
The target platform goes into production alongside the existing one. A Camel messaging bridge connects both worlds. Nothing is switched off. Nothing is at risk.
03
Strangle
Flow by flow. Each rebuilt integration runs in shadow against the original on real traffic, and we compare outputs message by message. Traffic shifts by percentage. Rollback is one configuration change.
04
Decommission
When a product has no active flows left, it comes out at the next renewal. We plan backwards from your contract dates, because that is when the saving actually reaches your P&L.
WHY INDEPENDIO
We migrate off these platforms because we spent years building on them.
The hard part of a migration is not writing Apache Camel. It is correctly reading twelve years of undocumented business logic buried in ESQL, DataWeave and BusinessWorks processes — and knowing which of it is still load-bearing.
We read your current system natively. Then we rebuild it.
- Certified engineers with production delivery experience on TIBCO and IBM
- Deep expertise across Apache Camel, Kafka, ActiveMQ Artemis, NiFi and Spring
- Automated discovery and shadow-testing tooling, not manual rewriting
- No vendor lock-in — including ours: the code is yours from day one
DELIVERY MODELS
Two ways to buy this.
Turnkey Migration
You run the platform afterwards.
Fixed scope, milestone-driven, structured handover. Payment milestones tied to actual decommissioning, not just delivery. Best when you have a strong internal platform team.
Managed Integration Platform
We build it, run it and keep it current.
Monitoring, upgrades and support included, at a predictable annual cost — with an option to acquire the platform IP outright from year three. Best when you never wanted to operate middleware in the first place: you wanted the integrations to work.
Start with the number.
A confidential assessment gives you a costed inventory of your current integration estate and a five-year cost comparison built on your data, not on industry averages. No commitment, and no platform change required to run it.
