Author(s): Timothy Hickernell, Stewart Bond, Robert D'Aurelio, Andrew Kum-Seun

Today's IT and business environments are forcing organizations to put application integration (AI) into their project plans up front and ignore it no longer. If they don`t take an architectural approach, they will get piecemeal solutions that are hard to manage, maintain, and support. This storyboard will elaborate on how to entice business leader engagement and formulize a successful standardized and dynamic AI strategy, by helping you:

  • Assess and document your people, process, and technology capabilities in your current environment.
  • Understand leading technology and integration trends and practices to optimize business processes.
  • Determine if your visionary environment is feasible and realistic to the observed integration patterns through a gap analysis.
  • Compile an AI blueprint that includes all of the work, planning, and investments completed through each stage of your AI strategy.

This research will help you craft a comprehensive blueprint to increase your AI success.
