Cloud Elements[1] is a cloud API integration platform used to publish, integrate, aggregate, and manage APIs. The platform connects categories of cloud services, such as CRM, documents, and finance, or synchronizes data between independent cloud services including Salesforce, Zendesk, and Quickbooks.
Founded in October 2012, Cloud Elements is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, but serves customers worldwide.
The service uses a hub-and-spoke architecture to map data models to multiple endpoints.
History
[edit]In October 2012, Cloud Elements was founded by CEO Mark Geene, CTO Vineet Joshi, and vice president of product development Atul Barve. Cloud Elements has grown to over 100 employees.
On July 18, 2014, the company announced receiving US$3.1 million in a Series A funding round. Investors include Virginia-based Grotech Ventures, California-based Icon Venture Partners, along with Galvanize Ventures.[3]
On January 9, 2017, the company announced receiving $13M in funding to reach Series B. The funding round was led by Harbert Growth Partners.[4]
In 2018, SAP integrated Cloud Elements connectors into its SAP Cloud Platform Open Connectors service to provide connectivity to enterprise SaaS applications.[5]
In March 2021, robotic process automation company UiPath acquired Cloud Elements.[2][6]
Technology
[edit]Cloud Elements was created to offer cloud applications or "hubs" that provide RESTful APIs with JSON payloads. The platform uses a one-to-many API model to manage multiple services within a single category.[7]
Virtual Data Resource
[edit]The company's Virtual Data Resources (VDR) feature provides a canonicalized view of data objects, centralizing data models across connected applications to map from defined resources to endpoints.[8]
The platform includes a graphical user interface to map domain models to active cloud services alongside direct integration options, as well as pre-mapped templates for specific endpoints.
