Today’s enterprises face a paradox: the very technologies meant to accelerate digital transformation are now creating unprecedented integration chaos. As businesses race to deliver personalized, real-time experiences, they’re drowning in a web of disconnected systems, fragmented tools, and mounting complexity that slows innovation rather than enabling it.
The challenge isn’t just technical; it’s strategic. Modern enterprises operate across hybrid environments that combine legacy systems, cloud services, SaaS applications, and now AI models, all of which must work together in a secure and governed way. Yet, most organizations lack both the unified control layer and skilled workforce needed to orchestrate these connections effectively and sustainably.
With Amplify Fusion, it’s now possible to turn intelligence into an advantage through secure, policy-driven orchestration. We don’t just integrate AI, we operationalize it. Axway’s hybrid enterprise integration platform empowers both technical and business users to accelerate the creation of integrations, implement real-time processing, and build higher-level orchestrations that can be exposed as secure, governable APIs.
When AI meets integration chaos
Artificial intelligence was expected to solve many integration challenges, yet in most organizations, it has only amplified them. The AI explosion has led to what McKinsey analysts call a “gen AI paradox“:
Nearly eight in ten companies report using generative AI, yet just as many report no significant bottom-line impact.
This isn’t due to lack of potential. The real issue is that most AI initiatives still operate in isolation, disconnected from the systems and integrated data they need to drive real value. As Bas Van Den Berg, VP of Amplify Platform at Axway, rightly notes, selecting a technology partner today means going beyond basic connecting systems.
It requires building an intelligent, adaptive, and future-ready digital ecosystem.
This challenge extends across the entire technology landscape. Cloud-based services, systems like ERP and CRM, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications each promised to revolutionize the way businesses operate by providing a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solution to IT infrastructure needs.
Instead, applications with different data structures resist seamless connection. Legacy systems—never designed for modern integration—create bottlenecks. And there simply aren’t enough skilled experts to manage the growing complexity.
As a result, poorly integrated enterprise software becomes a source of inefficiency, increasing operational costs, reducing productivity, and creating data silos. Businesses find themselves held back by the very technologies supposed to improve their processes.
What enterprises need is not another tool to stitch things together, but a platform built for orchestrated control. This is where a hybrid integration solution like Amplify Fusion becomes essential — enabling secure, scalable, and intelligent integration across legacy, cloud, and AI environments.
Meet Amplify Fusion: the complete hybrid integration platform
At Axway, we’ve been helping our customers solve complex integration challenges for more than two decades. We’ve seen a growing demand to modernize legacy infrastructure, extend digital capabilities, and adopt AI, APIs, and event-driven architectures.
Yet many organizations continue to struggle with complex customization and back-end integrations; they need to connect systems, data, and people faster, without rebuilding everything having from scratch.
Amplify Fusion breaks this pattern. It enables secure, composable integration across legacy, SaaS and cloud-native systems through a modular, policy-driven orchestration layer. Fusion helps teams move faster, reduce rework, protect core systems, and maintain full visibility and control.
Amplify Fusion is a true hybrid solution. It supports no-code integration for data, applications, events, and APIs across both cloud and on-premises. It provides out-of-the-box connectors with visual mapping to empower users – both technical & business – to rapidly design, test, and deploy business processes with speed and confidence.
Whether you are running our Amplify platform, MFT, B2B Integration, Financial Accounting Hub, or a combination of these solutions, Amplify Fusion extends value across your entire digital ecosystem. Below are are five use cases that illustrate how Fusion drives orchestration at scale.
AI orchestration: intelligence with governance
Rather than deploying AI in isolation, Amplify Fusion embeds artificial intelligence directly into business workflows while maintaining enterprise-grade visibility and control. Both IT and business users can activate real-time AI applications using techniques like RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) which allow AI models to access current internal data without exposing core systems.
While agentic AI protocols are promising, they are not yet fully mature. Achieving secure AI implementation requires a continuously evolving set of technologies, tools, and best practices. At the center of this effort, Amplify Fusion delivers the essential building blocks for enabling controlled, intelligent access across systems, tools, and data sources. It supports emerging approaches such as RAG and MCP (Model Context Protocol), helping organizations lay the foundation for scalable, trusted agentic AI workflows.

File integration: connecting file data more fluidly
Many MFT customers rely on custom scripts to process files. These scripts are often difficult to maintain, and when the people who created them leave the organization, support and troubleshooting become increasingly complex and risky.
Amplify Fusion eliminates the need for custom scripting. It enables MFT users to introduce advanced file-handling patterns such as introspection, routing, bulking, debulking, and null file detection, all through a governed, visual interface.
With built-in visual mapping and orchestration, file-based data integrations can be extended without modifying existing transport. This makes it easier to evolve current MFT processes and connect them seamlessly to other enterprise systems and applications.

Asynchronous integration: event-driven simplicity
As companies embrace event-driven architectures, they often face new complexity related to asynchronous communication patterns and system coordination.
Amplify Fusion simplifies this challenge through its orchestration capabilities. With out-of-the-box connectors and powerful transformation tools, teams can design and deploy event-based workflows that respond in real time to business activity across systems.
For example, an APIM customer looking to notify relevant internal or external stakeholders when an invoice is updated can use Fusion to implement asynchronous event handling. This approach eliminates the need for frequent polling or manual update checks and ensures timely, reliable notifications across the ecosystem.
Cloud integration: hybrid harmony
Many organizations found themselves in a swift march to the cloud when the applications they rely on forced the move. Being able to integrate with these applications more seamlessly is key to maintaining the pace of business.
Amplify Fusion handles hybrid and multicloud integration scenarios with ease, offering a unified platform built for enterprise complexity. It enables connections to both SaaS and on-premises applications through prebuilt application connectors, while also allowing teams to create custom connectors when more flexibility is needed.
One use case for these capabilities is helping our B2B Integration customers extend traditional EDI flow integration with mobile apps, chatbots, cloud ERP, CRM, and other modern digital applications.
“APIfication”: legacy transformation
At Axway, we believe in making the most of what you already have to drive innovation. This is a core principle behind APIfication – the process of transforming existing software systems, applications, or services into APIs that can be reused, extended, and securely exposed.
We’ve seen this approach take shape in the automotive industry, where EDI remains the backbone of the global supply chain. At the same time, manufacturers and suppliers are increasingly looking to adopt next-generation cloud applications, such as connected tracking devices and RFID gateways.
To support this evolution, the automotive standardization body ODETTE has recommended enhancing existing supply chain processes by introducing API-driven status messages alongside EDI. In this manner, APIs can be used to create an adjacent visibility platform that offer real-time insights into supply chain transactions across all partners.
This transformation approach applies well beyond automotive – nearly every industry today is rethinking legacy modernization through the lens of APIfication. Amplify Fusion makes it possible to:
- Create APIs based on legacy systems
- Expose only selected operations or data from an existing API to create simpler, purpose-specific interfaces
- Compose new APIs from multiple sources to provide a higher-level abstraction
- Package and productize APIs to enable usage tracking, access control, and monetization across ecosystems
- Add enterprise-grade security such as HTTPS and other authentication mechanisms
Fusion’s no-code approach helps adapt business applications and make changes without disrupting your current systems. And empowering business users is essential at a time when IT talent is growing scarce.
