Red Hat integration and BPM week: The future of open source integration and BPM

Presented by: Pierre Fricke, Director, integration and BPM product marketing, and Ken Johnson, Director, integration and BPM product management - Red Hat

Use cases for integration and BPM have changed. In the 1990s and 2000s, focus was on integrating mostly static enterprise applications and automating aspects of largely manual back-office business processes. Now, enterprises must not only deal with rapid change, but also accommodate a wide range of embedded devices, mobile applications, cloud deployments, and new users. Integrating them seamlessly, and incorporating them into automated and often complex business processes requires a new approach. The need to respond more rapidly to change means we must enable developers and business analysts alike to be more agile and productive. Lightweight, distributed integration infrastructure must easily work in concert with standards-based, easy to use BPM tools.

Red Hat's JBoss enterprise middleware is uniquely positioned at the intersection of modern integration and BPM technologies to enable customers to build the intelligent, integrated enterprise required today and in the future. Listen as key members of the JBoss team discuss our vision for the "intelligent, integrated enterprise", how the recent FuseSource and Polymita acquisitions accelerate this vision, and how today's JBoss Enterprise Middleware platforms provide a foundation and path to the integration technology of the future.
