Exalate Reaches 15 Years as Integration Becomes Strategic Infrastructure

Exalate, a global provider of enterprise integration software, is marking its 15th anniversary with 26% year-over-year revenue growth, reflecting a broader shift in how enterprises are treating integration: less as a technical utility, more as operational infrastructure that directly affects business outcomes.

The AI governance gap hiding in plain sight

The enterprise stack keeps expanding. More systems, more teams, more external partners, more boundaries where data has to cross and stay accurate. AI is accelerating that pace further and turning integration gaps that were once an inconvenience into an operational liability.

When integration is poorly governed, the consequences land well beyond IT. Duplicate records, out-of-sync workflows and data that means different things in different systems create rework, compliance exposure and delays that ripple into project delivery, vendor relationships and customer commitments. For organizations managing multi-vendor environments, M&A transitions or cross-company service delivery, that cost compounds quickly. Add AI tools acting autonomously across those same environments — consuming data, triggering updates, making decisions — and the margin for integration failure shrinks further.

"The governance gap in enterprise integration isn't new. What's new is the consequence," said Francis Martens, co-founder and CEO of Exalate. "AI agents are already acting across enterprise workflows, and companies need to know exactly what moves, where it goes, who controls it, and what happens when something changes. Connectivity alone is not enough. Governed integration is what keeps speed from turning into chaos."

Built for the complexity enterprises today operate in

Exalate allows granular control over how data moves between systems — supporting real-time, two-way synchronization across Jira, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Azure DevOps, Zendesk, Freshservice, Asana and more.

That control extends across organizational lines. Departments, external vendors and corporate partners can collaborate across systems while each side retains full ownership of its data, security boundaries and access permissions. In practice, this means integration can be built to match how organizations operate, not flattened into a one-size setup that breaks when exceptions arise.

Organizations that haven't addressed integration governance will find their AI initiatives constrained by the same fragmentation problems they've been managing manually for years. The integration layer isn't just plumbing anymore — it's what AI strategies run on.

AI inside the workflow, not bolted on top

Earlier this year, Exalate launched a redesigned product experience built around a unified console that gives teams a single view of every connection, node and sync status across their entire integration environment. The release adds script versioning with full rollback, a test run mode that validates configuration changes against real data before they reach production, and Aida — a context-aware AI assistant embedded directly in the configuration workflow that generates sync logic from plain-language input, interprets errors in context and cuts troubleshooting time significantly. Together, these capabilities make large-scale integrations easier to manage, with better control over changes, clearer operational visibility, and lower deployment risk.

"Our customers operate across tools, teams, partners and markets," said Hilde Van Brempt, CFO and co-founder. "What they need is an integration layer that keeps pace with that complexity — one that's built for long-term reliability."
