As organizations seek to take advantage of cloud computing and focus on security and data ownership concerns, integration has emerged as a critical struggle. This includes integration between different SaaS platforms and integration from the enterprise to the cloud.

The power within cloud environments comes from connecting a growing number of applications and data that traditional client/server integration techniques were not designed to handle. Enterprises today are looking to cloud based solutions to integrate across disparate systems in a way that's faster to deploy, reusable and cost effective.

In this InformationWeek webcast, we will explore some of the obstacles around cloud integration, cloud broker technology and strategies to create an IT environment that can leverage all data regardless of the location. We will also learn how one company, the Advisory Board Company implemented cloud integration as a foundation architecture.

The audience can expect to learn:

• Challenges with the enterprise data model and how to overcome them in the cloud.
• How to connect their current and future cloud to on-premise applications.
• How to leverage cloud integration pay-as-you-go model as a more cost effective, more functional and more rapid solution to implement.
