Tutzing – Lobster is expanding its partner ecosystem to include Arvato Systems, an international IT specialist for digital transformation. The partnership combines Lobster’s powerful no-code integration platform with Arvato Systems’ long-standing expertise in integration architecture, implementation, and managed services. Together, the two companies help customers deliver complex integration projects faster and run them reliably over the long term.
The joint offering is aimed in particular at organizations looking to connect existing system landscapes with modern applications – without having to fully replace proven systems. Lobster’s platform provides a flexible middleware and integration layer for cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments, enabling the connection of ERP, CRM, EDI, and other business applications, as well as the integration of historically grown IT environments. Heterogeneous systems, data sources, and business partners can thus be networked efficiently via standardized interfaces.
Lobster provides the technological foundation for the rapid integration of applications, data, and business processes. Through the partnership, customers can now also draw on Arvato Systems for the design of the integration architecture, its implementation, and the reliable operation of the platform – including 24/7 managed services, continuous monitoring, support, and the operation of middleware, EAI, and EDI systems. As a result, companies benefit from powerful, scalable integration landscapes, greater transparency in day-to-day operations, and a lasting reduction in complexity.
“Our strength lies in connecting partners, data, and systems quickly,” says Tim Srock, CEO of Lobster. “Together with Arvato Systems, we are extending this technological foundation with operations, monitoring, and managed services – for greater flexibility in meeting individual operational requirements.”
“Many companies want to implement integrations faster without replacing proven systems,” adds Christian Bittner, Head of Application Integration at Arvato Systems. “That’s exactly where our joint approach comes in: a no-code platform for the rapid connection of heterogeneous landscapes, combined with a scalable operating model for productive use.”
The partnership underscores both companies’ shared goal of supporting organizations in their digital transformation with powerful, sovereign, and practical integration solutions.
