Enterprise responsiveness is now the
basis of competition and profitable growth. Integrated
business processes are the foundation of responsiveness.
Technologies coming on to the mainstream like RFID,
wireless enterprise applications offer further opportunities
for cost-effective business integration. This presentation
reviews the role of IT in facilitating enterprises
towards greater integration and responsiveness,
by looking at challenges and recommendations for
CIOs to survive this potentially nightmarish scenario. |

A Better
Future for Application Integration |

For most companies, an Application
Integration project is often an exercise that happens
after the applications are already in production.
The fact that this is an "after-the-fact"
process creates many problems that the industry
has been trying to cope with for years. Integration
projects are often more costly and higher risk than
other IT projects, and implementations are brittle
and easily break when applications change. Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA) presents a new way to
create "future proof" applications that
anticipate BOTH known AND unknown integration requirements
with other applications in the future. Services
contracts in SOA are planned right from the beginning,
and can remain constant over time, insulating integration
from application changes. This 'before-the-fact'
approach to integration will significantly lower
costs and risks, and is set to dominate the approach
to application integration in the next few years. |
