B2B Data Integration and Transformation Blog

IDC, a leading technology research company, recently published the “Worldwide Business-to-Business Integration Gateway Software 2014 Vendor Assessment”.  In the vendor assessment they included Axway, EXTOL, IBM, Informatica, OpenText GSX, Oracle, SEEBURGER, Software AG, and TIBCO.  They focused on these nine vendors that have products or suites that support comprehensive trading partner collaboration.  While they outline specifics for each software vendor, they also had some general findings with regard to ROI and what to consider when you’re exploring your options.

During the 4^th quarter of 2014, most companies are working on budgets for 2015.  I recently came across a new report by Forrester of the US Tech Market for 2014 and 2015.  The new projections for the final months of 2014 and for 2015 seem to be in line with what we have seen in our industry.  REMEDI works with companies in various industries and sizes, in our niche of B2B, EDI, and MFT our client and prospects have big plans for 2015.

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes and not everyone considers themselves a leader, however I believe we all have qualities that make us leaders.  In past blogs we’ve discussed the value of training, leadership, and giving back to our peers and community.  All of these things contribute to your values and the success of your team.  We are continually influencing others around us, our co-workers, children, family, etc. 

If you're reading this, chances are we've connected with you at a conference in the past.  REMEDI has been a sponsor of IBM Smarter Commerce Global Summit since it's inception...prior to Smarter Commerce, we may have met you at Sterlings Customer Connection.  Well this year.....things are changing.....

Technology follows us everywhere.  As a Gen Xer I look back on how technology has changed our lives, our jobs, and even our children.  Do you remember applying for your first job, faxing or mailing your resume with a typed cover letter?  My first job out of college was with a government contractor and it required me to obtain a moderate level of security clearance.  That was before Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
