Integration Competency Centers (ICCs)

Posted by Brad Loetz on Jun 16, 2010 12:46 PM

We attended the Informatica 9 World Tour event in March and were introduced to the idea of competency centers, AKA centers of excellence, as related specifically to integration. Informatica has done a lot of work on the data integration ICC concept and in fact have evolved their product(s) in line with this thinking. This concept is a more formal and complete one than in my blog article, "The Evolution and Convergence of EDI and EAI". And it should be since the ICC notion is based on the book Integration Competency Center: An Implementation Methodology, written by David Lyle, VP of Product Strategy at Informatica, and John Schmidt, President Worldwide Integration at Integration Consortium.

THINKRONIZATION...Article Ideas?

Posted by Brad Loetz on May 12, 2010 8:18 AM

For those not familiar with our semi-monthly e-newsletter, THINKRONIZATION, it is the thinking person's newsletter for business and data integration professionals who are focused on the synchronization of systems, business, and data.

The newsletter is something we published years ago as the "REMEDI rEsource", mothballed for a while, dusted off in August 2009 and has been since known as THINKRONIZATION.

As in the past the content contains thought leadership pieces focused on news, research, trends, services, and placement information, within the IT disciplines of Business-to-Business Integration (B2Bi), Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), Data Integration (DI), and Business Intelligence (BI).

Now with 5 of the most recent editions down, we could use your input on themes to focus on in future editions.

Check out past editions, and subscribe for future ones.

Thanks in advance for your ideas. Read More
