Challenge	SES is a communications satellite company that has 65 satellites covering 99% of the world population. It distributes over 7,700 digital TV channels to 325 million homes globally. As part of a new business strategy, SES needed to transition from a wholesale, infrastructure provider to an end-to-end service provider to customers across the world. This includes providing access to Netflix for a crew on a ship in the Pacific to direct-to-home platforms that want to better understand how their customers use their services.

About Customer	SES is a global communications satellite company that has 65 satellites covering 99% of the world population. It distributes over 7,700 digital TV channels to 325 million homes globally. The company's services are diverse, ranging from providing access to Netflix for a crew on a ship in the Pacific to direct-to-home platforms that want to better understand how their customers use their services. As part of a new business strategy, SES needed to transition from a wholesale, infrastructure provider to an end-to-end service provider to customers across the world. Read More
Solution	The SES IT team needed to better integrate disparate business solutions, systems, applications, and data sources in a quick and efficient manner. SES’ previous integration approach — point-to-point integration — slowed the IT team down due to the number of applications they needed to connect. SES wanted to move beyond point-to-point integration; so they turned to MuleSoft for a new integration approach that promotes faster integrations via APIs and a platform to make it happen. Using API-led connectivity and Anypoint Platform™, SES built APIs to expose key applications, systems, and data sources. This API-led approach revolutionized the way SES’ IT team works. These APIs were then reused for future projects — making integration implementations much faster. Read More Log in to view content
