A Message from Leadership

Hello IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration Community,

As we navigate the transformative landscape of AI, automation, and hybrid cloud, one truth becomes increasingly clear: integration is the linchpin of enterprise innovation. At IBM, we recognize that without seamless integration, the full potential of AI remains untapped. Our recent unveiling of IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration at Think 2025 underscores our commitment to providing a unified approach that bridges systems, data, people, and processes. This solution is designed to empower organizations to harness AI-driven automation, enabling unprecedented productivity and agility in an ever-evolving digital economy.

The integration landscape is rapidly evolving, and businesses must adapt to stay competitive. IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration offers a comprehensive platform that simplifies the complexities of connecting diverse applications and data sources across hybrid environments. By leveraging intelligent API and agent-driven automation, organizations can accelerate their digital transformation journeys, reduce operational bottlenecks, and drive innovation at scale. We are excited to support our clients and partners as they embrace this new era of intelligent integration, unlocking new opportunities for growth and success.

I’m proud to lead this broader push to provide our developers, customers, and partners with greater transparency into our product direction—and to ensure you have a meaningful voice in shaping what comes next. I invite you to explore the updates below and join me in building the future of IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration in the AI era.

Messages from Product Management

From John Carter, Product Manager webMethods Integration:

During the last year we have seen a lot of changes to webMethods with the move to IBM, and this has also impacted our roadmap. This has of course meant that some features that we planned did not appear or had to be revisited, equally it has brought new features faster than we initially and reinforced other features, such as native integration with Hashicorp Vault and Event Streaming.

IBM brings its strength in AI and platforming to allow us to focus even more keenly on Developers and the Operations team for your webMethods platform. For developers our goal is always to provide tooling that developers find natural, intuitive and want to use. Our goal for operations is to give you the clear concise knowledge on the state of your integration platform, and be able to govern it easily regardless of the distribution or complexity of your integration topology.
