Business Analysts Take on Integration

Ilan Sehayek, our CTO, recently spoke to Loraine Lawson of ITBusinessEdge about some of the trends he sees for integration in 2010. From the rise of the business analyst to the continuing emergence of cloud applications, the interview is a great read.

Some choice excerpts include:

"An analyst giving requirements to a developer, the developer interpreting those requirements and then coming back and having the analyst verify by looking at various applications that the data came in correctly and things like that - that process has been too cumbersome."

"They're power users who are comfortable with knowing what data they have in their systems, because they constantly analyze that data for various different data points."

"We are seeing organizations move entirely to the cloud, so much so that they use Google for collaboration and productivity tools, they're using Amazon and EC2 for all their databases and then they use cloud applications like Salesforce.com."
