March 15 – The Role of Enterprise Integration in Digital Transformation
Every enterprise has a multitude of existing systems running on-premises and in the cloud, which perform critical functions. Integrating data and services across these enterprise systems is critical for an enterprise to successfully offer APIs that provide critical business functions to new markets, a key element of digital transformation.
This webinar will discuss the role of integration in digital transformation and explore how WSO2 meets key requirements in this space, including:
- An enterprise integration overview
- A review of whether integration services are an anti-pattern in future enterprise architectures
- Integration beyond the ESB: connecting services, systems, data and identities
- The role of integration in microservices, IoT and APIs
- Hybrid integration models: on-premises, integration platform as a service (iPaaS) and integration software as a service (iSaaS)
Webinar presenter Kasun Indrasiri is WSO2 director of integration technology. The session will be held on Wednesday, March 15, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PDT. Visit http://wso2.com/library/webinars/2017/03/the-...formation/ for more information.
