Blog by Alkesh on Data Integration / MDM

Gartner Conference on "Data Integration Technology & Architecture" by Ted Friedman
SOA without the backbone of solid Data Integration (DI) practices, consistency and quality will result in garbage in (data) - garbage out. Majority of Gartner clients are enquiring for MDM. DI & MDM is inevitable because latency of data availability is coming down from batch mode to real time mode. Metadata (including ontology) is the critical core of data integration and management of meta data asset is very improtant to success of SOA. Market leaders in DI quadrant are IBM, Oracle, and Informatica.

Gartner Conference on "Selecting Integration Technology that will support your SOA and BPM Initiatives" by Jess Thomson
SOA and BPM are the enablers for Application integration. There are three application integration styles viz. Data Consistency, Multi step process and Composite applications. File based and ETL based data integrations add to latency of data. To overcome latency of data, ESB technology is sparing used in the industry. Gartner estimates that by 2012 more than 40% interfaces will be using ESB technology. Hub based integration architecture offer complex event monitoring. Gartner estimates that by 2012 more than 20% shops will use hub based architecture.
