Axway Acquires Vordel

For years, the pace of change in IT integration has been relatively slow. From point-to-point connections, to hubs, to buses, and back to hubs, we’ve seen successive, subtle shifts in integration strategy, mainly in pursuit of reduced costs, improved capabilities and increased alignment with the business.

But now the pace of IT integration is accelerating. Big data, cloud services, mobile devices and social collaboration are all converging, driving IT to evolve faster and faster. Add in the growth of unstructured data, BYOD, and business adoption of SaaS cloud services and it’s clear that the tide is turning from an architecture built for the enterprise, to an architecture struggling to meet the needs of the enterprise. “Systems of Record” are now being called upon to perform the tasks of “Systems of Innovation,” something they were never designed to do. And projections around growth in cloud consumption, integration of mobile devices, and the need for ever more deeply connected business communities means that the situation will only become more complex and problematic in the near term.
