The rising operational and licensing costs of iPaaS platforms like Mulesoft are pushing many enterprises to consider migration to custom, self-developed and self-hosted integration solutions. This transition, dubbed "migrating away from iPaaS technologies," is often framed as a simple cost-cutting measure. But does moving away from a managed platform truly save money, or does it shift complexity and hidden expenses elsewhere? The secret is that the only correct answer is "it depends."

During this session we will explore the various reasons companies would want to migrate from an IPaaS, and look at a structured Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) specifically focused on evaluating iPaaS vs. custom-built integration strategies. We will explore the hidden costs in both scenarios, including infrastructure maintenance, developer skill retention, security hardening, and operational overhead, which are often overlooked in initial calculations.

The board overview of TCO will enable Architects, Product Owners, or Consultants to have a fact based conversation and make an informed decision that protects the existing IT ecosystem and the business. The key is ensuring you understand the true financial and technical trade-offs before you start the migration.
