A huge amount of data is required to
be gathered and handled from different data sources like, Cloud, SaaS, social
networks etc. on daily basis in different business houses. Thus, specific
requirement for effective data integration tools can be seen widely in the market these days. My company’s data remains
safe with proper application integration, which is also known as the enterprise
application integration in the industry.
Application integration is done to
simplify the entire business process in an automated way, but it does not make
extensive changes either to the application or to the data structures. In that
case, I would like to discuss about certain distinctions between traditional
approach of data integration and cloud
integration. Also, I would like to share how cloud computing has made the
entire process much faster and easier.
In previous days, the entire process
for data integration was found to be quite complex. As, it used to involve
integration of multiple applications running on multiple systems.As a matter of
fact, these systems could be from multiple locations. Also, they could use
multiple files and databases. Thus, the main challenge was to connect multiple
applications to guarantee undisturbed data flow. Initially, this kind of
integration used to take place through middle ware. And this approach either
used to be written a customized code or bought from a vendor. Unanimously, this
approach was found to be very expensive.
But, upon installing cloud application integration, different
business houses have started seeing a new ray of hope. That is the reason why
my organization has also believed taking application integration into the
cloud.
When we take up cloud integration solution for data, then we are able to acquire
easy to use, consistent, reusable, simple and infinitely extensible option for easier
integration between applications. I found it more reliable as it removes all
the hassles related to the hand-coded programs. Also, it is available with
custom-made data packets integrating any kind of application. These packets can
read, write and transform from any location, which allow databases, web, files
and SaaS data to be shared and utilized by applications as per the requirement.
