The Cloud Integration Imperative



During the past years, the growth of Cloud Solutions has significantly accelerated, fuelled by adoption among organization of all types and sizes seeking ways to quickly and cost-efficiently deploy Cloud Services (e.g. CRM) to meet specific line-of-business goals. Lower initial and ongoing costs, faster time to market, less reliance from technical expertise, greater business agility are the main drivers behind the acceptance of the Cloud Deployment Model. The true potential of the Cloud Deployment Model however can only be realized when information flows across On Premise Business Applications and Cloud Services to support a streamlined business process. These Business Applications typically operate in silos, disconnected from each other. Therefore integrating them into a Cloud Services to achieve an end-to-end business process is a costly, time-consuming and risky task.

That’s why Cloud Integration continue to be a barrier to acceptance of the Cloud Computing Model; Cloud Integration for sure is the archilles heel of Cloud Computing.

To fully leverage investments in various domain applications such as CRM, Order Management and supply chain management, Enterprise must ensure comprehensive integration across data, user interface (UI) and business process levels transforming a portfolio of disparate, best-of-breed packaged and custom-built applications and Cloud Services into a unified, virtual application environment supporting agile business processes. Without a complete integration, user experience will remain disjointed, unsatisfying and inefficient.

Only through a holistic integration approach at the data, UI and business process level ensures the return of investment of connecting On Premise Business Applications and Cloud Services.
