Integration is key for digital transformation
Digital transformation is now finally happening, because the current post-pandemic world is forcing it to happen. Organisations are trying to figure out now how to innovate faster, create personalized experiences and deliver business insights faster. The key is the data and its integration to unlock the real value of it.
Smart devices, IoT, smartphones, laptops and many other systems are generating tremendous amounts of data, but the most important thing in order to get started is to understand how to connect and access to all this data independently whether they are physically installed somewhere, in the cloud or on premise.
Digital transformation requires speed and a huge volume of data, therefore modern integration practices are required. They must be flexible, secure and scalable.
However, most organisations have legacy infrastructures and systems, as well as new systems or platforms, hence they need to support hybrid integrations and keep costs down.
Organisations must re-think their integration strategy, to achieve an agile integration infrastructure to support their digital transformation journey. A decentralized, container-based, microservices-aligned approach to integration can help these organisations to overcome the challenges, and empower their multidisciplinary teams.
When talking about modern or agile integration we talk about the following capabilities:
- API Management
- Messaging
- Event streaming
- Data and application integration
We have recently started a partnership with Tibco in order to equip our channel partner with the right set of tools, so they can help their customers to evolve and become a digital business, because if they want to stand out in this new post-pandemic world, they require a data-centric view of the business, which Tibco has built on three foundational pillars. Connect, Unify and Predict.
Connect seamlessly any application, device, or data source – Integration
Digital business excellence requires smarter, connected apps, faster development, and adoption of the cloud. Data holds 100% of your business opportunities, and the ability to access and activate that data in context for your people, process, and systems unlocks business value. Enable your IT and business stakeholders to connect all your apps, data sources, and processes—in the cloud, on-premises, or on-device.
Unify intelligently for better access, trust, and control – Data Management
Reimagined customer intimacy, operational excellence, and business reinvention efforts require intelligent management of every kind of data—metadata, reference data, master data, transactional, and streaming data. Managing this diversity with logical governance and consistency is the objective of Unify, TIBCO’s line of data management products. Enable your team with the capabilities required for better data access, trust, and control.
Predict confidently with real-time data-driven intelligence – Analytics
Successful data-centric enterprises have mastered the data-to-insights-to-action journey and built a continuous, real-time loop of learning and adaptation. By predicting and acting on discovered opportunities, they sustain their innovation and optimise their business processes, operations, and customer experiences. Enable your team with analytics and data science to find meaningful insights from data and confidently predict and deliver the next wave of success.
