The Game Changers of Integration
There are several disruptive market forces at play that are dramatically increasing the amount and complexity of data that organizations must deal with. These game changers are compelling organizations to rethink their integration strategies.
Enterprises are being flooded with new types of unstructured and semi structured data such as social media interactions; video; images; and the sensors and devices that comprise the rapidly expanding Internet of Things.
This abundance of data is ultimately a boon, but the sheer variety, volume, and velocity of it is disrupting every aspect of traditional data handling - including integration.
What’s more, big data has raised expectations and, as a result, integration operations are being asked to do more than ever before such as process streaming data or materialize data on demand.
The benefits of cloud delivery - speed of implementation, flexibility, scalability, and lower costs to name a few - are spurring on the breakneck adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS). But as some applications make the journey to the cloud while others remain on premises, more and more enterprises are finding themselves straddling hybrid environments.
This divide between on-premises and cloud infrastructure adds yet another layer of complexity to the already complex task of integration.
