DESCRIPTION
The Briefing Room with Robin Bloor and Dell Boomi Live Webcast July 30, 2013 http://www.insideanalysis.com Integrating cloud solutions with existing infrastructures poses formidable challenges for most organizations, especially when key business applications are complex, or spread across disparate systems. Companies need to leverage and analyze their data no matter where it lives, and they need the flexibility to make changes as needed. Achieving this level of agility requires a new kind of application integration that natively harnesses cloud architectures. Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran Analyst Robin Bloor as he explains how the maturation of cloud services and platforms has improved application integration techniques. He'll be briefed by Wes Manning of Dell Boomi, who will tout his company’s cloud integration offering, which includes the ability to integrate hallmark solutions like SAP and Salesforce with on premise or SaaS-based applications. He will also share a demo of Boomi Suggest, a community-developed repository of data mappings that can greatly accelerate integration projects.
