SnapLogic talk at the SFBay ACM Chapter Meeting
Posted 17 November, 2009 by Mike Pittaro in Community, Integration, SaaS, SnapLogic
I have been invited to speak at the San Francisco Bay ACM Chapter meeting on November 18th.
I will be talking about the challenges involved in Integrating SaaS and On Premise Applications , with a particular emphasis on how the integration problem is changing as technology changes, and why integration technologies need to adapt.
ACM chapter meetings are free and open to all who wish to attend. If you’re in the Bay Area, I hope you can stop by.
Update: Slides from the talk have been posted on our Wiki.

Hi Mike,
I enjoyed your talk at the SFBay ACM meeting at the HP Cupertino site on Nov 18. You put into words a lot of concepts and learnings that most organizations who are moving into “cloud computing” and SAAS will probably otherwise run into “the hard way”.
One suggestion: In your slide presentation, on or about slide 16, you recommend that developers try to have only one copy of data. A few minutes later there were a bunch of questions from the audience – “what about backup” “what about failover” etc etc. The audience was not in agreement or did not understand your point on that slide.
I suggest, to better get your idea across: change the wording of your recommendation from “keep one copy” to “keep one authoritative copy”. This should eliminate any confusion from your audience about backup copies, or performance enhancing copies.
Your recommendatation is actually the “KISS” (Keep It Simple, Stupid) version of a more general rule: understand / identify the authoritative data hierarchy. If there is some question about the validity of data at one level, understand where to go to resolve this. If there is only one copy, that is the simplest case of all.
Once again, thanks for the presentation.

Thanks, Steve. ‘Authoritative copy’ is a much better way of making that point.
