Composable Architecture is an enterprise IT trend that leverages modern, cloud-based technologies for individual business functions, which are integrated using an integration Platform as-a-Service (iPaaS) to orchestrate events, actions, and data exchange. This approach offers benefits such as eliminating vendor lock-in, enabling non-specialists to manage business automation, increasing lab efficiency, lower operational costs, and improving data integrity. 
However, implementing Composable Architecture in laboratory IT faces challenges due to regulatory constraints and the need to integrate on-premises laboratory technologies. Scitara DLX is an iPaaS solution specifically designed for laboratories, offering seamless integration with cloud technologies and real-time connectivity for both modern and legacy on-premises lab assets. It also provides audit trail evidence, and regulatory controls, and can be deployed in compliance with industry regulations.
