Minimal integration workshop

This one-day workshop focuses on systems integration. It provides a conceptual framework for integration, an understanding of the impact of integration on the broader business, and practical advice on how to approach integration in a way that is closely aligned to the needs of business.

The course is aimed at broadening the participants' awareness of integration, rather than the details of technology.

Who the course is for

The workshop is intended for IT specialists with an interest in integration.

It is suitable for middleware specialists, IT architects, business analysts, systems analysts, and IT project managers working on systems integration projects, and for IT managers and team leaders.

The workshop is also suitable as part of general training in systems integration.

The workshop is particularly suitable as input into initiatives to develop integration standards and set architectural policy.

The workshop assumes a general background in IT, but does not assume any particular knowledge of systems integration.
