An Integration Game Changer from Sunstone for Federal Government

Sunstone presents ‘ConnectGateway as a Service (CGS)’, a managed technology service tailored for Federal Government clients. This service model enables government clients to leverage ConnectGateway as a comprehensive, fully managed software platform, operating on a ‘per integration service subscription’ model. Sunstone assumes the responsibility of developing and maintaining legacy integrations, offering clients a practical approach to prioritize transformation projects based on business needs rather than technology lifespan.

ConnectGateway is an advanced technology platform that adheres to microservices architecture best practices. It features an array of managed microapps that can be combined in a ‘plug and play’ manner to execute complex integration workflows. This facilitates seamless connections between legacy systems and modern APIs and event streams.

Our service model helps Federal Government clients meet certain ASD Essential 8 requirements by uplifting legacy applications to match the security and operational standards of modern applications. It also empowers ICT teams to deliver superior service to business users, by offering a cost-effective method to connect applications and devices to a state-of-the-art integration gateway, enabling data sharing across the enterprise.

ConnectGateway provides solutions to complex business challenges that stem from integrating legacy technologies and contemporary software. It eliminates the need for multiple toolsets or extensive redevelopment, functioning as a hosted solution that eliminates any development or configuration requirements from your organization. This reduces technical debt and consolidates all non-API based enablement in a single location, simplifying the technologies and skills required to enable services and allowing developers to focus on business requirements instead of technical integration.

ConnectGateway is versatile and scalable, capable of operating on IoT devices, midrange servers, and large-scale operations with hundreds of high-performing nodes, all for the same single fixed price.
