The vision of building a services-based abstraction layer to make enterprise business applications consistently and universally accessible is not new, but the technological game has changed, as have expectations of the business. The service-oriented architecture (SOA) vision was powerful. Unfortunately, it was rarely realized in the on-premises world. When SOA was first conceived, the enterprise service bus (ESB) was seen as its enabling technology. An ESB as the service-based abstraction layer between applications was appealing to enterprise IT organizations that were struggling with constantly changing application versions and upgrades. “Loose coupling” would introduce much more flexibility to application lifecycle management, without brittle integrations frequently breaking. Unfortunately, due to the high cost of implementing the all-or-nothing SOA + ESB vision, most IT organizations very tactically continued to use the same old point- to-point enterprise application integration (EAI) patterns that were already in place.

    We Left Informatica. Now You Can, Too. a Conversation with the Former Co-Founder and CTO of Informatica About Modern Data Integration for the Cloud

    We left Informatica. Now you can, too. A conversation with the former co-founder and CTO of Informatica about modern data integration for the cloud. Can a business in 2017 effectively run on 25-year-old technology? Both logic and intuition say it can’t. Yet that is exactly what thousands of companies Founded in 2006 by Gaurav Dhillon, attempt to do today by using Informatica for data integration. Founded in the co-founder of Informatica, 1992, Informatica is now a billion-dollar company, with legacy technology that SnapLogic is the leading Enterprise remains a fixture in enterprise technology environments. Integration Cloud company, reinventing data integration But it doesn’t have to be.

Digital initiatives are expected to deliver annual growth and cost efficiencies of 5 to 10 percent or more in the next three to five years,1 yet the technology and talent barriers to transformation remain substantial. The dramatic growth of the cloud is shifting the center of gravity for applications and data. Increasing digital data flows from rapidly deployed cloud apps, social media, and things (IoT) are creating a plethora of new integration opportunities. Data warehousing, the traditional foundation of analytics, is moving to the cloud, while business users are looking for more agile data flows to feed analytics tools.

    Data Integration Solutions Buyers Guide

    2014 Data Integration Solutions Buyers Guide Includes a Category Overview; the Top 10 Questions to Ask; Plus a Capabilities Reference of the Top 24 Solution Providers in Data Integration Technology Released by Solutions Review 11/1/2014 INTRODUCTION: Big Data is the buzz - with everybody looking to jump onto the bandwagon. However, there is substance behind the buzz. When we talk about Big Data, we mean the following: with the sources and amounts of data available for analysis increasing rapidly by orders of magnitude, new analytical tools are increasingly able to gain new and important insights into the past, present and future that were not available before. Many areas of human endeavor benefit from Big Data. Science and research has certainly seen a gain, with examples including the Large Hadron Collider using hundreds of millions of data points per second to find the Higgs Boson and DNA sequencing now taking less than a week to complete. So have many private sector companies, such as Walmart, Facebook and Amazon, now better able to discover trends and exploit normally hidden shopper idiosyncrasies in order to drive revenue and profit. And of course Uncle Sam is getting in on the Big Data action, with the construction in Utah of a massively powerful data center for the NSA that will be able to handle Yottabytes of internet data. The result of all this is an industry now valued at $100 Billion, growing at 10% a year. Solutions Review is quite interested in covering this quickly evolving topic. However, we face a conundrum in trying to organize Big Data, which is, well, big.
