Small Firms Take on Big SaaS Integration Woes
As highlighted in this article by Computer Weekly, SMBs using SaaS face a complex integration challenge. Indeed, as SMBs first moved into SaaS, they looked at SaaS-delivered applications as something new and interesting, and managed it as a silo. With increased use of SaaS, and as the business matures, there's a need to link SaaS-based apps with the rest of the enterprise. That type of integration is hard, but many SMBs now see the need. "In the early days of SaaS, a lot of applications were standalone and running in silos," said Liz Herbert, a senior analyst at Forrester Research Inc. "People just weren't focused on the challenge of integration. They were focused on customization. Now we're seeing SaaS used more broadly." So, how do you integrate your SaaS applications with your other enterprise applications? It's a matter of planning, spending, and managing. Application integration and service oriented architecture expert David Linthicum heads the product development, implementation and strategy consulting firm The Linthicum Group.
