Cloud Elements

Cloud Elements is a cloud API integration platform that enables developers to publish, integrate, aggregate and manage all of their APIs through a unified platform. Using Cloud Elements, developers can quickly connect entire categories of cloud services (e.g., CRM, Documents, Finance) using uniform APIs or simply synchronize data between multiple cloud services (e.g. Salesforce, Zendesk and Quickbooks) using it’s innovative integration toolkit.

Founded in October 2012, Cloud Elements is purpose built for developers, to help organize their world of APIs through a one-to-many approach. A ‘Visionary’ in API Management, according to Gartner Inc., Cloud Elements is headquartered in Denver, CO, but serves customers worldwide. More information can be found at www.cloud-elements.com.

Cloud Elements accelerates API Integrations through an innovative API Hub technology providing uniform APIs that developers use to easily make APIs work together. Over the past few years developers have published millions of unique APIs, each one its own island of data, now the bigger challenge is to integrate APIs together in order to synchronize data and build new apps faster.

Background

Cloud Elements has three co-founders: CEO Mark Geene, CTO Vineet Joshi, VP of Product Development Atul Barve. The three shared a vision to "help developers build cloud applications faster and at a lower cost..."

Cloud Elements was created to offer cloud applications or "Hubs" that provide RESTful APIs with JSON payloads. Cloud Elements "differentiates itself with its one-to-many API which lets developers integrate and maintain several services or "elements" in a category."[1]

On July 18, 2014, the company announced receiving $3.1 million in a Series A funding round. Investors include Virginia-based Grotech Ventures, California-based Icon Venture Partners, along with Galvanize Ventures.[2]

Technology

Hubs

Hubs map resources from a collection of endpoints (What we call Elements) into a uniform set of APIs. With Hubs you can integrate an entire category of services (e.g., CRM, Documents, Finance) through a single set of APIs. Hubs and integration categories currently available are: Cloud Storage, Help Desk, Customer, Messaging, Marketing, Finance, Social, E-Commerce, Human Capital, Infrastructure, Planning, and a customizable Hub.

Element Mapper

An API and data mapping application to map and transform data across the leading cloud services.

Formula Builder

Formula Builder is the first set of APIs to build workflows that are independent of the endpoint, through RESTful APIs or an open source UI. Enables developers to design integration rules and triggers that are one-to-many, syncing across multiple applications in real-time and reducing data silos. Triggers include Requests, Events and Schedules.

Element Builder

Integration tools to customize elements. Using Element Builder Beta, one can extend the capabilities of existing Cloud Elements integrations or build a new element from scratch. Element Builder gives you the integration tools to extend the current feature set of any of our Elements by adding a resource or method. If your use case requires a resource our Element doesn’t currently support, you can easily add it in yourself using Element Builder.

Each Element starts with a standard set of features, including authentication, paging, errors, events and search.
