# Harmony

> Harmony is a secure data integration platform enabling controlled, standards-based exchange across systems, clouds and organisations through cloud-managed gateways. The platform handles routing, transformation, authentication and policy enforcement across multiple protocols, with strong identity controls and audit trails for regulated environments.

Harmony is designed for IT teams, software engineers, and organisations that need to modernise legacy systems, move data securely between internal systems and cloud services, and maintain compliance in regulated industries. The platform deploys behind firewalls as distributed agents and is centrally managed from the cloud.
