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.

Last month you probably received an invitation to attend our presentation and live demo of IBM Sterling B2B Integrator.  We had a great turn out, but I know some of you have emailed me about a replay since you couldn't make it.  Well, we have it posted!  

REMEDI offers demos to provide our customers and new clients a chance to get a closer look at integration software solutions and deployment strategies. 

It’s December 31, 2014…well not quite yet!  Let’s say hypothetically speaking, it’s December 31, 2014.  Are you looking forward to ringing in the New Year or are you dreading it, and thinking it’s just going to be another year?

Have you posed this question to your Data Integration Team?  How can we make 2015 our best year yet and even more importantly, how can each one of us elevate and equip others on our Data Integration Team for their optimal success in 2015?

I've been noticing a trend as of late.  You see a lot of new businesses having Grand Opening celebrations, but what's up with companies having Grand Re-Opening celebrations? 

Grand Re-Openings are a somewhat new marketing technique...attention getting and usually revolving around a new facility, new business format, new products, and/or new services.  So what does this have to do with Data Integration, Data Transformation, and Data Exchange? 

This will take some imagination so stick with me... 

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.
