We recently introduced our HowTo blog series, which is designed to present simple use-case tutorials to help you as you evaluate Anypoint Platform. The goal of this blog post is to give you a short introduction on how to implement a simple ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) scenario using Mulesoft’s batch processing module.
Note: Anypoint Library is now referred to as “Anypoint Exchange”. You may see it reflected as library in some places, but moving forward will be Anypoint Exchange.
Overcoming challenges with integration is no easy feat. Data driven by SaaS, Cloud Computing and Mobility results in an abundance of customer information. The challenge no longer lies in obtaining buyer information, but in integrating all of the data endpoints.
Integration across disparate systems is crucial to better understand customers, observe behavior, analyze data and create the optimal customer experience. However, not all marketing tools are designed to communicate with others. A whopping 500 billion dollars a year is spent trying to solve this problem.
Crimson Marketing, experts in marketing technology, sat down with MuleSoft’s Mahau Ma, VP of Marketing to chat about this problem and how it manifests itself:

Well, almost.
We are sitting at the precipice of a data-driven era. With billions of devices joining the vast Internet of Things every year, unfathomable amounts of information generated from every activity and interaction a customer performs, and multiple platforms across which all of this data needs to be shared, the connected world is at our fingertips. But will you be able to harness this power? Will you be part of the connected world?
Next generation businesses will know every touchpoint. They will automate processes. They will use IT to open new revenue channels. They will have a single view of the customer. They will harness data to empower the business. They will be a connected enterprise.
Are you ready to connect the world?
Top business drivers across organizations manage IT projects that include SaaS to SaaS and SaaS to on-premises integration requirements. In the past, many of these businesses were able to overcome their integration challenges by implementing custom point-to-point integration. Now however, with more and more applications and data being run and managed in the cloud, point-to-point integration can’t keep up with business demands.
We are all very proud to announce that Mule’s December 2013 release shipped with a major leap forward feature that will massively change and simplify Mule’s user experience for both SaaS and On-Premise users. Yes, we are talking about the new Batch jobs. If you need to handle massive amounts of data, or you’re longing for record based reporting and error handling, or even if you are all about resilience and reliability with parallel processing, then this post is for you!

Lack of Connectivity Limits Marketing and Sales Engagement with Customers
As more companies adopt SaaS sales and marketing applications, SaaS providers are under the gun to create and offer functionality that supports the business process and automation requirements of these individual and sometimes silo teams. In any given organization, sales and marketing use upwards of 10 – 15 applications to engage, onboard and maintain customer interactions. Believe it or not, here at MuleSoft our marketing and sales teams use over 30 different applications. Yes 30, and we have less than 30 people in our marketing organization! Sample applications include, HootSuite, Google Apps, Confluence, Yammer, Salesforce, SurveyMonkey, WebEx Events, Eventbrite, Cloud9 Analytics, KISSmetrics, Google Adwords, GetSatisfaction and the list goes on. Each of these applications are used to engage the customer in a different stage of the buying process:
In 2013, SaaS, Mobile and Big Data (the ‘Big 3’) have moved on from visionary ideas well into disruptive realities impacting IT. IT is no longer in denial, as they were for much of the last decade, and in fact are “leaning in” on all fronts. According to CIO Magazine’s 2013 CIO survey, more IT organizations are focusing on building better relationships with the lines of business, and are raising their game and engagement into LOB projects, particularly around SaaS selection, implementation, and integration.
I am excited to announce the general availability of the Mule 3.4 release. Mule 3.4 introduces new capabilities across Mule ESB, CloudHub, Mule Studio, Anypoint DataMapper, Anypoint Connectors, and the Anypoint DevKit.
The Next Generation Integration Platform
There are three main areas around which Mule 3.4 introduces innovations that we believe greatly change the traditional ways in which integration is approached.
