Watch Now
Organizations of all types and sizes are engaged in what some consider to be the latest IT buzzword – Digital Transformation. Whether looking to optimize customer experiences, improve business efficiencies, or capitalize on new opportunities, conventional wisdom suggests that the key to a successful transformation is data – the ability to control, manage, and utilize data to renovate IT operations or business processes. However in reality, the critical path to success is integration – how an organization integrates data into the fabric of the business to reveal and enhance channels, markets and revenue-boosting opportunities in the digital environment.
Watch Carl Lehmann, Principal Analyst at 451 Research and Ravi Dharnikota, Chief Enterprise Architect, SnapLogic, in “Best Practices for Creating Data-Driven Digital Transformation”, a thought-leadership discussion analyzing digital transformation from both business and technical perspectives. They’ll cover:
- Digital transformation initiatives and how they help enable competitive advantage
- How next generation hybrid integration platforms support digital transformation
- The role and challenges of cloud integration and the critical technology needed to overcome them
- How SnapLogic's Enterprise Integration solution supports digital transformation
Participants will learn the techniques and tools needed to integrate on-premises and cloud resources so they operate and adapt as a uniform platform for digital transformation.
