It's time to offer five predictions for what lies are in the world of global integration. There already has been a great deal of discussion about B2B integration developing into business critical, not buying the cloud for cloud sake, cloud security and conducting business the customer's way. As we look ahead, let's focus on something many call BI², the intersection of business-to-business (B2B) integration and business intelligence.
Cloud adoption and SaaS continue to grow exponentially. The consequence of which is a strong trend towards real-time, particularly with increasing numbers of businesses transferring data through on-demand avenues of communication. Predictably, businesses large and small want a route into this treasure trove of information, especially considering the impact it can have on their profit margins. Nowhere is this truer than with the B2B integration processes, where the successful relation of real-time data, insights into the status of
crucial messages, or details of the most important clients or partners can help a business become more adaptable to any situation.
This is a very common point of emphasis. More and more businesses are exchanging an increasing amount of information, and due to changing business rules and security policies, this information is growing in complexity. With immense amounts of data volume exchanged every day, businesses seek to instantaneously access trend information and transactional volumes, top messages and connections, message status and other crucial information to steer themselves in the right direction.
While BI tools once were used as individual standalone products, more businesses are seeking bundled solutions that also deliver business intelligence as an added bonus to the integration process. In 2011, we will see increased vendors selling bundled tools with their integration plans, so costumers will be able to receive event-driven intelligence. With business intelligence included in the B2B integration process, clients find they can meet demands more quickly, easily adjust to their customers' needs, and greater visibility of real-time trending data.
In today's world, real-time updates have become a necessity for companies. Businesses need to understand key trends, issues, any new developments in their B2B communities in order to thrive. Thus, blending the realms of business integration and business intelligence is only natural, and it greatly impacts the global marketplace.
