The CIO Whiteboard: Designing a Cloud Integration Strategy

Session Date & Time: Day 1, March 23, 18.45pm EST (15.45pm West Coast) (45min).
Keywords: Integration, PaaS, SaaS.
Authors: Richard Nucci – Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder, Boomi.
Abstract: As CIO's become the central figure in the adoption of SaaS and Cloud Computing, the key criteria and requirements of these solutions expand. Core to this expansion is the notion of cloud integration. Rick Nucci, Boomi founder & CTO, will provide insight and strategy as to how the CIO can best:

• Ensure the appropriate levels of visibility and governance are in place as data transcends multiple clouds and on-premise environments
• Centralize the development and maintenance of these disparate applications and clouds to avoid "enterprise spaghetti code"
• Determine what role traditional middleware investments play in this evolution
• Attain the benefits of an ERP "Suite" without relying on one vendor to build all their core functionalities
