Hybrid integration reference architecture

The ownership boundary of the typical enterprise now encompasses a much broader IT landscape. It is common to see that landscape stretch out to cloud native development platforms, software as a service, dependencies on external APIs from business partners, a mobile workforce and an ever growing range of digital channels. The integration surface area is dramatically increased and the integration patterns to support it are evolving just as quickly. These are the challenges we recognise as "hybrid integration". We will explore what a reference architecture for hybrid integration might look like, and how IBM's integration portfolio is growing and changing to meet the needs of digital transformation. This deck comes from the following article http://ibm.biz/HybridIntRefArch and is also described in this video http://ibm.biz/HybridIntRefArchYouTube

A Reference Architecture for Hybrid Integration Kim Clark Integration Architect Offering Management
Digital Applications Common use cases for hybrid integration within digital transformation APIs 1 A. Join the API Economy B. Productivity C. Refactor for innovation Automa,on Enable new channels for revenue by monetizing existing data via the API economy Enable line of business to automate their own work across SaaS and existing systems of record Make a fundamental shift to a composable application architecture, and cloud-based partners, to enable innovation.
Business projects are driving the “hybrid” agenda Hybrid Integration Styles Combining app integration, api integration and data integration Hybrid Deployment Software can be flexibly deployed on cloud and on-premises to optimize solution architecture Hybrid Connectivity Reach across secure connections to get to data where it is from wherever you need 2 Hybrid User Communities Used by both IT as well as LOB who are adopting integration tooling to automate application interactions.
