B2B Data Integration and Transformation Blog

Have you been inspired by someone brilliant recently?  Spring has arrived on the calendar and it reminds me of a conference I was invited to this time last year by friends that I respect in the business community.  We are always looking for opportunities to sharpen our business acumen and extend our circle of influence. We knew one of the presenters was cited by Meetings and Conventions magazine’s as “One of the best keynote speakers ever heard”, putting him in the same category as Bill Gates, General Colin Powell and Tony Robbins.

Our blog themes of late have been loosely connected...Shopping for Integration Software, Maximizing Your Investment in Integration Software, and Non-traditional Integration Suite Use Cases...to name a few.  Within each of these blogs, and in your everyday business/personal life, you are confronted with decisions.  There are many decision models to utilize when you are presented with life's forks in the road.  Here is one often utilized by Remedi and it's clients.

Recently, we have been talking about Integration Suites in a variety of ways from Maximizing Your Investment, to Use Cases, and what to consider when you’re Shopping for Integration software.  But IBM has recently filled a gap in their portfolio with the purchase of Aspera, an MFT software provider.  I announced the acquisition in a previous blog, IBM Acquisition Expands MFT Portfolio, but what does that mean for you?

Remedi has been helping clients of all shapes and sizes with their Integration Systems for 20 years and we’ve learned a few things.  If you’re looking to purchase a new integration system or upgrade an old one, here are a few things to keep in mind.
