This is a community of employees, partners and (mostly) end-users who do nothing but share knowledge and examples of how to integrate our API (iControl) and our network scripting (iRules). That should at least give you some insight into what we offer. I'm sure the other vendor representatives can point you to more information about their specific implementations and I know that one or two other people on the list have some experience with doing this with various products. I hope that helps some.
