StreamWeaver About Us

A Tale of Two Companies

Our mission is to make integration so simple that anyone can integrate anything in a matter of minutes — liberating siloed data so it instantly becomes actionable and useful to the enterprise.

We began as a team of world-class consultants, focused on improving large enterprise IT productivity and performance issues through integration – the company was then J9. Over-and-over we would connect and then update IT integrations for some of the world’s largest (and complex) enterprises. It didn’t take long to recognize one-off manual integrations for what it was — as a flawed model; expensive, brittle and unmaintainable. Realizing that we could better serve our customers with a product, rather than services, we began to invest in what would become StreamWeaver.

Our mission was to make integration so quick, affordable, and reliable that anything and everything could be integrated. In 2018, we spun-off our professional services business to focus solely on development of an enterprise-class integration platform. We then re-branded the company as StreamWeaver. Now, the company is entirely focused on helping enterprises achieve their end-to-end observability, AIOps, cloud migration and cost reduction goals with integration made so easy you can connect your tools in minutes rather than months.
