Strategies for Data Integration Services
Peter Tran, Director, Product Solutions, Composite Software

According to a recent IDC study, 60+% of web services will be data integration services. A Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) offers many benefits—notably, a dramatic reduction in the cost of maintaining rapidly-changing IT systems, acceleration of the development process through reuse, improved asset utilization and reduced redundancy, to name just a few. A key aspect of reuse is the ability to leverage information that the enterprise deems mission critical. Enterprise information integration (EII) helps automate such data integration services and includes the concepts of federated queries, optimized queries, WSDL delivery, and other key features which make real-time data integration practical. This session will discuss the following via a series of case studies: Leveraging the power of service-oriented architecture (SOA) for master data aggregation of both operational data and historical data Bridging the gap between information that resides within packaged applications and the emerging SOA Applying EII to automate the integration of new data sources How EII delivers comprehensive, reusable “views” of customers, products, employees, and more Understanding and preparing for the next generation of data services
