Informatica Cloud Winter 2014: Bounding Over Cloud Process Barriers
Abstract: As enterprises continue to pursue cloud computing in order to reap cloud's well-known perks of quicker and more flexible provisioning, smoother expense curves, and faster time-to-business benefit, enterprises still often stumble over integration. Enterprises similarly dragged their integration feet during the proliferation of back office and front office on-premise applications throughout the 1990s, but eventually implemented a comprehensive set of integration technologies, including data-oriented asynchronous point-to-point, multi-point, synchronous, programmable, and finally business process integration. Enterprises are tracking a similar evolution in the cloud, and many enterprises have now integrated data between cloud and on-premise applications. Cloud application-to-application data integration, however, as it did during the 1990s, only ranks as table stakes. Maximum benefits accrue when integration solutions deliver a backbone for business process optimization. Until now, business process optimization remained outside the grasp of most organizations that invested in heterogeneous cloud applications (meaning nearly every enterprise), unless they were willing to tolerate multiple integration solutions. That situation changes with the introduction of Informatica Cloud Winter 2014. |
