Description

IT departments have been under increasing pressure to increase agility and responsiveness by migrating a portfolio of independent “stovepipe” applications to set of Business services. Migration to services should not just enable IT to implement new Business initiatives faster but should also simplify application portfolios, reduce functional redundancies and improve the alignment of IT with business requirements. How to integrate on-premise applications in a predictable, consistent and repeatable fashion is a challenge that has consistently remained among the top priorities of most CIOs .
At the same time companies are quickly moving beyond utilizing the cloud for isolated point solutions. This brings a new challenge: how to integrate Cloud-based systems amongst each other and with on-premise applications? Recent surveys show that companies abandon Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions because of problems integrating SaaS with on-premise applications. When we extend our enterprise application ecosystem into the Cloud, the integration challenges become even more complicated than between on-premise applications.
Finally, the consumerization of IT and proliferation of mobile devices sets the bar even higher since now we need to support integration requirements of mobile devices with enterprise applications wherever these applications reside. This 3 days seminar is all about integration!
