Ghost Nodes wasn’t built to look impressive in architecture diagrams.
It was built for what happens later — when systems change, APIs break, and something that was “done” suddenly isn’t.
Behind Ghost Nodes stands Ghost Labs, a Stockholm-based team with deep roots in enterprise integration, system architecture, and change management.
Between us, we’ve spent more than 120 years working with integration in one form or another. Which is either reassuring or mildly concerning, depending on how you look at it.
Either way, Ghost Nodes is the result of that experience.
Not as another layer of tooling, but as infrastructure.
GHOST NODES – INTEGRATION INFRASTRUCTURE
Ghost Nodes isn’t a layer on top of your integrations.
It’s the backbone they run on.
Built for systems that don’t behave
Ghost Nodes is a Swedish-built integration infrastructure platform designed to handle real-world complexity — across legacy systems, modern architectures, and everything in between.
It orchestrates integrations, automation, and AI-driven workflows without turning every change into a development project or a minor internal crisis.
Most integration work can be handled internally through intuitive drag-and-drop functionality, while the underlying architecture stays structured, scalable, and traceable.
The result: less consultant dependency, lower change costs, and an integration setup that doesn’t need to be rebuilt every time reality interferes.
Why Ghost Nodes works as infrastructure
- Built as infrastructure — not another integration layer
- Handles the heavy lifting — integrations, automations,
and AI agents working behind the scenes - Broad AI support — leverage AI models from across the market, including open‑source options
- Cost‑efficient by design — most integration work can be handled internally, by clients, through intuitive drag‑and‑drop, requiring little to no coding
- IT + OT in harmony — bridging enterprise systems with operational technology for seamless flows
- Industry‑agnostic — works across sectors, from transport to finance
- Globally available — accessible via Azure Marketplace and Google Cloud
- Technically independent — no lock‑in, no blind spots
- Independent by design — technically and commercially free, no vendor lock‑in
- Geopolitically low‑risk — built in Sweden, independent and secure
- Future‑proof — scalable backbone ready for tomorrow’s demands
GHOST LABS – THE TEAM BEHIND THE BACKBONE
Long experience.
Low tolerance for bad architecture.
Low tolerance for bad architecture.
Ghost Labs is the team behind Ghost Nodes — with roots in BizTalk, C-Talk, enterprise architecture, and a fairly long list of integration problems we’d rather not relive.
Between us, we’ve spent more than 120 years working with enterprise systems, change management, integration, AI, and IoT. Which sounds dramatic when written out like that, but it does mean we’ve seen what holds up in production — and what usually doesn’t.
Experience matters. But so does curiosity. We still question old assumptions, test new ideas, and care a bit too much about getting the structure right.
The result: a team that builds infrastructure meant to survive reality — not just demos, diagrams, and optimistic workshop notes.
Why that experience matters
-
Cross-disciplinary by default — spanning system science, behavioral research, and enterprise architecture
-
Research-backed thinking — with publications, lectures, and long-standing academic involvement
-
Built on real-world architecture work — not just frameworks, diagrams, and opinions
-
Entrepreneurial experience — from product development to innovation leadership
-
Recognized for innovation — including Microsoft .Net Award-level work
-
Decades in the field — across business improvement, distributed integration, AI, and IoT
The Ghost journey
Late 1990s
From C-Talk to Biztalk
In the late 1990s, several team members were involved in developing C-Talk, based on XML-RPC, later know as SOAP. This allowed C-Talk to send and receive complex data structures over HTTP, and would later become a huge inspiration for Microsoft when developing BizTalk.
Early 2000s
From BizTalk to iBridge
In the early 2000s, one of our Senior Advisors was elected to Microsoft Advisory Board and personally received an award from Bill Gates for the successes achieved with C-talk. However, by the following year, the tech team behind C-talk realised that a centralized architecture like BizTalk had its limitations. In response, they developed a distributed version of BizTalk, called iBridge, which earned them first prize in Microsoft .net Awards.
2013
Think tank – Duqtor
In 2013, the future founders of Ghost Labs launched the think tank Duqtor in collaboration with Stockholm University and KTH (Royal Institute of Technology), focusing on applied research in digital strategies. More than 30 Swedish CIOs from companies such as Vattenfall, Ericsson, SAAB, SSAB, SECO Tools, and Atlas Copco joined the think tank, where integration was identified as the most critical capability for improving IT and business.
2019
From BizTalk and iBridge to Ghost Nodes
Research and development were initiated, and in 2019, Ghost Labs was founded. Since then, intensive development and refinement of a decentralized solution have taken place, culminating in what we now call Ghost Nodes — maybe the smartest integration architecture in the world!
2021
Microsoft & Google ISV Partner
In 2021, Ghost Labs and Ghost Nodes were approved as both Microsoft and Google ISV Partner. Ghost Nodes are now easily accessible on both the MS Azure Marketplace and Google.
