A Modern Approach to Enterprise Application Integration

Integrations are the secret weapon behind the great innovations of today. Few new ideas are stand-alone applications. For the most part, they require data and functions from other applications or enterprises.

However, the integration challenge is less about low-level connectivity than it is about the velocity of change. How quickly can ideas be transformed into production, or at least into prototypes, so that new niches can be leveraged?

In this exclusive webinar designed by IBM Developer and TCS, we will explore the modern approaches to innovating with enterprise application integrations. We will delve into the various tools used for enterprise integration on the IBM Cloud Pak for Integration platform. We will also go through a hands-on workshop to create a fully integrated application using IBM App Connect to showcase the agility of integrating applications on the cloud.

In this 90 minute webinar attendees will learn about:

Key concepts of application integration and best practices to consider when integrating applications
Real-world use cases of enterprise application integration presented by TCS partners
Tools and techniques to get started with application integration using IBM App Connect

In the hands-on workshop we will cover:

Basics of connecting enterprise services using App Connect on IBM Cloud
Process of connecting databases and APIs to build fully functional event-driven flows
Handling messaging with the use of MQ and testing, exporting, and scaling end to end flows

3. Application integration involves the sharing of data and functionality App Connect is a tool that integrates applications, APIs and data in one platform IBM and TCS have world class experience in application integration OpenShift is an ideal platform for application integration
4. Intro to Application Integration IBM Cloud Pak for Integration Real-world Use Cases Hands-on Lab: App Connect
5. What is Integration? 5 Integration provides: 1. Connectivity 2. Routing 3. Transformation to enable sharing of data between applications and services securely irrespective of the data format and protocol that these system and services use between them
6. Market Trends Clients are building digital platforms to innovate faster & generate new streams of revenue. [Gartner, Forrester, 451, Deloitte, McKinsey and others] Most CIO and CEO sponsored initiatives generate additional integration use cases [Forrester, Gartner] Hybrid models cause stress around speed, cost, security, operations, skills, supporting new architectures, cloud native apps, and migrating legacy systems.
8. Digital Transformation is a necessity Application modernization Agile Integration Cloud Pak for Integration Cloud native integration Simple integration experience for any squad member demands enabled by resulted in designing 1. Business Transformation 2. IT Transformation 3. Technology Transformation Boiling it down
