**About us**
elastic.io is a Germany born product company. We develop the hybrid Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) for real-time data sync across disparate cloud-based and on-premise applications, platforms and databases. Our customers are big telecommunication companies, data management providers (f.e. Deutsche Telekom, Magic, Riversand), and many more.

In a nutshell, our platform helps customers easily integrate their business critical systems (f.e. databases, CRM, ERP, cloud services or whatever), and save money on infrastructure configuration and maintenance.

Basically, a customer can build your integration like a construction set where the pieces are connectors, which can be arranged according to the requirements. It requires a little technical skill and allows customers to stay clear of the programming layer. In more complex cases, the platform allows the customers to create their own integration components or modify the current ones if needed (we have SDK for Node.js and Java). Finally, one can also purchase our product as a white-label solution.
