webMethods CloudStreams provides a scalable approach for the development of integration flows between Software as a Service (SaaS) applications and on-premise applications. CloudStreams provides predefined, configurable CloudStreams providers or connectors that enable you to connect to popular SaaS cloud applications.

A CloudStreams provider contains SaaS provider-specific information that enables you to connect to a particular SaaS provider. You install a CloudStreams provider on webMethods Integration Agent as a package. The CloudStreams Server uses the same run-time framework as the one used by Integration Agent. For more information on CloudStreams providers including their connection details, see the respective provider documentation available on the webMethods > CloudStreams > Downloads section of the Software AG TECHcommunity website. The provider installation guide is available on the webMethods CloudStreams section of the Software AG Documentation website.

CloudStreams runs as a package on top of Integration Agent.

A CloudStreams connector uses a cloud connection to connect to a SaaS application at run time.

So by using connectors for connecting to the backend of external SaaS providers, and through different authentication mechanisms, the CloudStreams component of Integration Agent provides you outbound connectivity to the external SaaS providers.

All connectors available on the Software AG TECHcommunity website are available for Integration Agent.
