Recently, Michael Stephenson, Chris Parsons, and I had the opportunity to visit Autom8, Frends’ annual event. Frends is one of the Gold sponsors of our Integrate 2024 conference in London. This blog introduces Frends, their iPaaS solution, and our experience at Autom8 in Helsinki.

Autom8 – A Hub for Collaboration and Innovation
Autom8, Frends’ annual event, is a highly anticipated gathering for Frends users, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), and partners. This event provides a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and exploring the latest trends in integration technology. Attendees can engage with industry experts, discover new solutions, and learn how to maximize the value of their investments in Frends’ technology.
After Frends sponsored our annual Integrate conference, we felt that sponsoring Autom8 would be an excellent opportunity to connect with our Finnish customers and partners.
Why is Turbo360 at the Event
As a customer-focused company, Kovai attended the Frends event to connect with existing BizTalk360 and Turbo360 customers and partners and explore new business opportunities. The event presented a unique opportunity for us to engage directly with Frends users and partners, exchange insights, and discuss potential collaboration.
Turbo360’s Experience at the Event: Opportunities and Engagements
Our visit to the Frends event was marked by numerous opportunities to engage with diverse attendees. These discussions were invaluable in helping us identify potential areas where Turbo360 could offer additional support or innovative solutions.
We also had the chance to showcase our expertise in Azure Cost Management, Azure Solution Monitoring, Automated Documentation Generation, and Business Views of Integration Solutions, positioning Turbo360 as a key player in the integration ecosystem.
Event Highlights: Good Conversations and Fun Activities
We engaged in many meaningful conversations with potential clients and partners during the event, opening up new collaboration possibilities. The informal setting of the event allowed for open and honest discussions.
One of our highlights was the Lego R2D2 raffle we ran, which added a fun and engaging element to the event. This activity drew many participants and created a buzz among the attendees, further enhancing the event’s overall experience.
Beyond the Event: Connecting with a Partner in Helsinki
Meeting face-to-face with our clients and partners consistently reinforces our commitment to support their growth and success. So, after the Frends event, we visited one of our partners based in Helsinki. This visit allowed us to strengthen our relationships, discuss ongoing projects, and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
Overall, our trip to Helsinki and the Frends event was a great experience. We left with an even more robust network of contacts and a renewed sense of purpose in our mission to deliver exceptional integration solutions.
Conclusion
The Frends event in Helsinki was a fantastic opportunity for us to connect, learn, and grow. From engaging with Frends users and partners to participating in fun activities, our experience was filled with valuable insights and exciting opportunities.
Stay tuned for more updates from Turbo360 as we continue our journey in the world of integration and automation.
