IBM & IntegrationWorks present: Simplifying Business Integration

Integration can be a miracle or a minefield for your business. The benefits are well understood but the practice often leaves much to be desired and many integration efforts fail to deliver. This is often due to the level of complexity of the technology adopted, the time, and the cost incurred.

Hardware appliance based integration is fast becoming the default implementation for Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and Event Driven Architecture (EDA) deployments worldwide because it provides a shorter time to market with less risk and reduced cost.

Find out how your business can defer capital expenditure, increase agility and improve security through the use of the IBM DataPower SOA Appliance with the IBM worldwide authority on SOA Appliance based integration – Bill Hines.

Through this presentation you will gain insight into strategies to assist your business in delivering integration services:
• more rapidly, with increased confidence,
• at less cost, with higher ROI,
• that leverage existing assets, and provide for greater reuse,
• that improve security,
• that ensure SLA and OLA policy enforcement, and
