Talking Cloudification and Data Gravity in the Enterprise

SnapLogic_ipaasLast week we were part of an online event called Cloud-Con: Integration & Web APIs, hosted by Integration Developer News. SnapLogic VP of Marketing Darren Cunningham was on a panel of expert speakers to talk about cloud integration and introduce the SnapLogic Elastic Integration Platform. The session covered the following topics (check out the recording here):

  • Adoption trends for iPaaS in the enterprise
  • The question of “cloudification” – figuring out which apps to move to the cloud and when
  • The importance of “data gravity” and whether or not a company’s data will reside behind the firewall or in the cloud
  • New enterprise integration challenges including big data access and analytics, disconnected SaaS silos and API proliferation
  • Speed as the #1 business driver for a cloud integration platform
  • How traditional integration approaches can’t keep up – legacy EAI is not build for the web and is code-intensive; legacy ETL is built only for rows and columns and struggles with real-time (the “Integrator’s Dilemma“)
  • Legacy Integration (rows and columns, have to choose between batch or real-time, behind the firewall) vs. Elastic Integration (any data type, any time, any scale, any location, any device)
