GRAHAM OAKES
looks to plug the three key gaps in enterprise integration
systems.
Building a culture of integration
Graham Oakes: governance is about more
than compliance
Enterprise integration technologies aren’t new. CORBA dates
back to 1991, and RPC protocols were defined at least a decade
before that. If enterprises aren’t integrated, it’s not because
the technology isn’t there. It can still be improved, but
the real reasons we don’t build integrated enterprises are:
(1) Integration technologies have historically been specialist
and expensive.
(2) We find it hard to assign concrete value to flexibility,
and hence hard to invest in it directly.
(3) Because we don’t invest directly in flexibility, the assets
which support it are left to be managed as a ‘common infrastructure’
rather than assigned to specific projects.
