While some of Mesh Integration's neighboring startups sport flashier product displays, Mesh's customized software is doing some heavy lifting behind the scenes in the United States and across Europe.The founders developed Mesh Integration to fill what they saw as a void in the industry - a quick, cost-effective way to streamline and unify all the software, tools and apps a large or small company needs for a unified workflow.Mesh Integration's connection platform -- the Application Programming Interface -- consists of more than 15,000 applications that can be tied together in seconds using the company's 200 pre-built software packages.Covender likens Mesh's system to Legos, in which blocks are quickly snapped together with other Legos."We're able to snap them together that fast and get one or many applications working together quickly," Covender said.The company's customized API connection platform eliminates the need for software developers to spend hours writing code to tie diverse applications together, he said. For example, if a company's workflow requires a shopping cart, email, a database, Quickbooks and inventory software, Mesh's API connection platform would be customized to quickly connect all those programs and apps, unifying the company's business process.Mesh's API connection platform works in any industry, with any computer language or operating system, Covender said.Looking into the future, Covender and Vasu also identified a need to help companies come into compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation. The GDPR went into law in April 2016 and will be enforceable through fines on May 25, according to the EU's public information website on the GDPR."It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, regardless of the company's location," the website states. Personal data "can be anything from a name, a photo, an email address, bank details, posts on social networking websites, medical information, or a computer IP address."The point of the regulation is to give individuals control over their personal data outside the European Union and to streamline regulations for international business.Working with large healthcare systems in Europe, Mesh officials realized the far-reaching effects the GDPR would have, and have incorporated the appropriate controls in Mesh Integration's API connection platform."Companies have to document their processes coming in and going out, including data in motion and data at rest," Covender said. "There are so many things involved it's worse than an IRS audit. They're going to go after small, mid-sized and large companies."Mesh Integration offers a platform designed specifically for the online documentation the GDPR requires, including data security through micro token exchange technology. In addition, Mesh's API connection platform is designed to enable online GDPR documentation to self-update directly from the company's systems.For more information about Mesh Integration, call 877-524-5005 or visit the website.
