Cloud Integration a Podcast from Aberdeen & IBM

When you think about the cloud, you don’t want to have your head in the clouds. You need clear visibility and vision and a view into your needs both today and tomorrow. And you really need to have a strong integration strategy. If you are just throwing applications and services into the cloud without taking this into consideration, you’ll be suffering from poor integration that will actually create security and reliability problems. We’ve found that when businesses pick the right tools, implement the right solutions, and use the cloud with integration at top of mind, they find success with today’s transformative technologies.

New! The latest and greatest! Cutting Edge! These terms are often thrown around, especially in sales and marketing and by anybody trying to sell a new product. But we’re also seeing them applied to the applications, services and tools that businesses are building, both for their employees and their customers.

Without a doubt, the cloud permeates all aspects of computing today, for both businesses and individuals. Whether you’re a giant multinational corporation running complex cognitive analytics, or you just want to find out what tomorrow’s weather is, odds are, whatever application or service you are using is relying on the cloud. And this is no surprise for most businesses today.
