Data Integration Embraces Services

Service-Oriented Data Integration Promises Greater Reuse And Interoperability

by Philip Russom

with Laurie M. Orlov, Colin Teubner


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Service-oriented data integration has become viable in the past year because it can enable growing practices like composite applications, component reuse, and interoperability between integration silos. Both users and vendors are building data integration services (DISs), through which a wide variety of applications and integration tools can communicate with a data integration solution. Whether hand-coded or built atop a vendor's tool, DISs promise to increase the reuse of data integration components, enable greater interoperability between integration silos, and give end users with operational applications an unprecedented level of control over data integration processes they depend on for fresh information.
