For Application Development & Delivery Professionals

Executive Summary

Just as in 2009, technical innovation and merger and acquisition (M&A) activity have continued to have a significant impact on the integration space. The most common trend has been the expansion of existing products and services to the point where boundaries between specific integration market categories have blurred considerably and application, process, and data integration are no longer isolated islands of functionality. Enterprises should consider responding to this trend by consolidating their varied integration resources into a single shared services group (an integration competency center) that will be able to deal with a multitude of interconnected integration challenges in the most effective manner.
