Tucon 2012: Initial Thoughts
I am on my way back from Tucon 2012, Tibco’s annual user conference at Las Vegas. During the event I had a chance to talk with Tibco execs, partners, customers and fellow analysts. I thought I will do a quick post talking about my initial thoughts on what I heard there. Tibco’s rise to fame […]
How CEP will make SaaS the killer app
I got the insight at TIBCO’s Transform event I blogged about yesterday – how we can finally solve the Customisation Riddle we’ve been unsuccessfully combating in IT for decades. Software as a Service is breathing down our necks and guaranteed to replace quite a few on-premise apps in this decade alone. Starting with your tertiary (cleaning, […]
Simple Service Enterprise – part 6
In my latest post, I recapped on the previous posts and started to take Integration from a business point of view. I’ll continue to do that here, and try to mix in technical details without it getting too confusing. Wish me luck! Here’s the conversation again: Hey Tom! What did the Red Sox do last […]
Simple Service Enterprise – part 5
In my first post on SSE I explained why and how I want, and can achieve, and have achieved, an Enterprise Integration paradigm that will give you a device-agnostic, platform-agnostic, tool-agnostic architecture that will free you from being crushed by the two tectonic plates in IT at the moment: diversity in devices, platforms and tools on the […]
Simple Service Enterprise – part 4
Today we’ll take a REST from REST and I’ll touch upon one of the issues I ran into today: the two types of data there are. REST assured however that at least a few of the next posts will be about yesterday’s topic, as it has led to fierce debates here and there over the […]
Simple Service Enterprise – part 3
My previous post showed the fundamentals of information interchange: exposing business functionality, currently encapsulated in the back-end, to the outside world via services. These services are a one-to-one translation to back-end functions, which are one-to-one translations to business process steps themselves: the smallest level of business transaction. I also showed that the How of exposing […]
Simple Service Enterprise – part 2
Yesterday’s post was about Simple Service Enterprise, and showed the basics: to keep up with the growing diversity inside and outside your enterprise for getting the same functionality on different devices and platforms, you need an Integration layer (the red in the middle). Can’t argue with that, point-to-point integration is a neat quick and dirty […]
SAP, Integration and Star Trek: the future is now
I commented ranted on an SDN post yesterday. Submitting it failed, and I lost the +/- 500 words. A bit more miffed after that, I wrote the comment anew in Notepad, and copy/pasted that – it worked. I got a few reactions, some of which inviting me to post on the topic on SDN via […]
Integration is the new Operation – this decade and next
I gave a presentation the other day that is a very short version of my Integration book. As usual, that forced me to compact thoughts and ideas, and craft a new visual – see above. I’ve used that already in a post the other day, but that didn’t pay proper attention to it I’m a […]
How to queue – that is the question
The other day my attention got drawn by a very large national company that claimed to have a performance problem: sometimes it would take ages for messages to reach their destination, and entire applications would come to a screeching halt. After a few questions and answers, it was clear that they didn’t have a performance […]
Social silos adding to enterprise silos? Not with proper Integration
Laurie Buzcek called out for Integration as a solution for the failure of Enterprise 2.0 and Social Business – which she equates to each other – and I couldn’t help but think of Tibbr when reading her post Dion Hinchcliffe responded with a post in which he also stresses the integration of social media with […]
Apples and oranges: Socialcast and tibbr
The other day one of my commenters asked: What’s the difference between Socialcast and tibbr? I had a rough idea but not much of a clue, and decided to do a quick one. I commented back but there has been some considerable dustblowing going on, so I’ll repeat that here and elaborate on it Socialcast […]
Tibbr, the new OS. Integrating is the new Operating.
I just watched the live feed of Tibbr’s 3.0 launch. It was impressive and even more so than the 1.0 launch I attended live in February – although that was a revelation, and revolution too Back a dozen years or so, Larry Ellison dreamed about the network PC as replacing Microsoft’s Operating System (OS) – […]
Perfect Integration – the eBook
Perfect Integration by Martijn Linssen What started with Perfect Integration 1 – Architectural Approach and ended with Perfect Integration 13 – the do’s has become a lot of words, more than 10,000 actually. Hence my decision to publish it as an eBook for easier reading – if you have any comments or questions you […]
Perfect Integration 13 – the do’s
Final post in the series, this is the summary and conclusion, to be used as some sort of checklist if you like. When conducting enterprise business application integration, within the enterprise IT landscape among applications and systems, or from there to others at another company or even directed towards the customer, here are the pragmatic […]
