SnapLogic VP of Marketing Darren Cunningham was on a panel of expert speakers to talk about cloud integration and introduce the SnapLogic Elastic Integration Platformopens in new tab. The session covered the following topics (check out the recording here)opens in new tab:
- Adoption trends for iPaaSopens in new tab in the enterprise
- The question of “cloudificationopens in new tab” – figuring out which apps to move to the cloud and when
- The importance of “data gravity” and whether or not a company’s data will reside behind the firewall or in the cloud
- New enterprise integration challenges including big data access and analytics, disconnected SaaS silosopens in new tab and API proliferation
- Speed as the #1 business driver for a cloud integration platformopens in new tab
- How traditional integration approaches can’t keep up – legacy EAI is not build for the web and is code-intensive; legacy ETL is built only for rows and columns and struggles with real-time (the “Integrator’s Dilemmaopens in new tab“)
- Legacy Integration (rows and columns, have to choose between batch or real-time, behind the firewall) vs. Elastic Integration (any data type, any time, any scale, any location, any device)
