The emergence of enterprise service buses, the impact of Web 2.0 technologies and the growing use of business-to-business gateways and external integration service providers are examples of major changes in application integration. Companies must understand and respond to the changing nature of application integration software because it is central to the effectiveness of enterprise applications.
Furthermore, traditional integration software is proving insufficient in supporting fast-spreading application styles such as service-oriented architecture (SOA) and event-driven architecture (EDA). New application platforms leveraging event processing and grid computing are emerging to support these requirements. Web 2.0 is both an opportunity and a challenge to users willing to exploit large Web communities built around mega-portals for their business operations. The Open Source Phenomenon is changing the rules of the game in the middleware market for vendors and users alike. Organizations are increasingly evaluating service-oriented architectures (SOA) for providing vital business functions - a well-thought out set of technologies and processes SOA framework is necessary to increase chances of successful implementation and ensure governance.
These are just some of the issues that will be discussed at Gartner's Application Integration and Web Services Summit. Through high-level Gartner sessions, Keynote Presentations and end-user case studies, the Summit outlines the steps to a successful application integration strategy, to ensure that you deploy technologies and manage applications for success.
