| | November 20166CIOReviewWith data becoming the single most valuable asset today, big data technologies are playing a big role in how businesses compete and operate. Whilst the efforts to successfully derive value from petabytes of data, these organizations may find their skill sets, workload, and budgets over-stretched--at times. Big data integration is the key here, which has the potential to maximize software and systems' ROI, overall visibility, and guarantee user efficiency--by seamlessly linking the business-critical systems and information that users need to be productive and responsive. With the entry of new devices, applications, and data sources, CIOs need to bring them together and integrate the disparate modules seamlessly, to be evaluated and analyzed in real time for insights. And they need to do it fast because the prospective of these disruptive technologies is directly linked to revenue growth, and there's a need to achieve results in a narrow window of time. There are innovative integration platforms that support these requirements. These platforms work on the principle of agility--the new key to support continuously evolving end points and functionalities, and which has the ability to couple and decouple data on demand. We are already seeing widespread adoption of agile technologies such as micro-services and REST in response to the need for agility. These technologies are freeing data from the constraints of applications--letting data play a much superior role in an enterprise than that of merely application objet d'art. As a result, many integration platforms today house data management, while numerous data management platforms add capabilities around integration. Organizations that are tentative to espouse application integrations are slowing down the benefits of data insight and governance that could come from a centralized platform.On that note, we present to you a special edition on Data Integration Technology. Blending thought-leadership from subject matter experts, we bring forth the top Data Integration Solution Providers that are capable of delivering extensive insights from any data source with maximum proficiency.Jeevan George Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comEditorialRight Time for IntegrationCopyright © 2016 ValleyMedia, Inc.
