At the turn of another decade, the IT world is witnessing yet again another seismic shift comparative to the internet boom in the 90s. Back then the demand for technological skill is at coming into a rise. Programmers, systems developers, systems analyst and database guru lures the Information technology world who are task to modernize the software system. While the internet have grown into a universal appeal for IT people, systems integration have made a lot raised eyebrows. Today we’ve seen the rise of systems integration taking over as IT has become less and less about technical skills. We have seen the key roles are now reserved and occupied for those who can easily adapt and best integrate readily available components – this maybe an existing legacy software, legacy applications and legacy systems. Legacy software migration have come into a point where systems developers are now doing or trying to find something that will hold and maximize available components from the legacy systems taking less time to deliver new solutions. We can attribute to the fact that back then sharing libraries and software development kits was a common practice. Nowadays, we tend to lean on open API’s rather than be dependent in proprietary libraries. Software development have rather become more of like building blocks, with open source programs readily available via internet. This makes almost every single systems developer rely heavily in the available resources in the internet. Anyone with an internet connection and browser can tap into every thing freely so long as they can see it in the internet. What does this trend means for the...

If you were to look at the number of new businesses that emerge every month – especially web based enterprises then you would be right to assume that starting a business is not so hard. Given the type of business integration software available today, you can set up your business in a week and with the right strategy be profitable in a month. This ease with which such feats are possible today is not to be taken for granted though; it was definitely not the ‘norm’ just ten years ago. The technological dark ages, as they were made it infinitely harder to get things done. Not to say that the tasks we hardly pay attention to today were extremely hard, it was simply harder and took much longer to start up and make profits. With everything having to be done manually or (if you were the lucky sort) with the aid of legacy applications software, efficiency as well as accuracy were often compromised. The turn of the century though and rapid developments in technology brought with them a set of business integration software applications that could be used to perform repetitive tasks and thus halve the amount of time and energy the manager had to spend on them. Thus leaving the manager with ample time and resources, to focus on strategies and growth tactics aimed at making the business more profitable. When starting up a business there are a lot of things to take into account. While most people simply focus on licensing, financing and the final product, it is also imperative to consider aspects such as the business...

One of the most common dilemmas a company faces today centers around how to deal with legacy applications. Many existing companies had their IT systems set up using legacy applications that have become obsolete in the wake of technological development. In light of a changing business atmosphere that incorporates technology into nearly almost every process, companies are beginning to face up to the fact that an upgrade might be a necessity as opposed to a luxury. Upgrading legacy applications however is neither a simple nor a cheap process. The main problem is the fact that the structure of legacy systems does not integrate well with existing technology platforms. While a complete system overhaul is a possibility it remains an unrealistic one. The fact is that legacy systems integration, though outdated, are very stable platforms that support most of a company’s business processes. This is why most companies have opted for a solution which involves applications integration. Enterprise applications integration has proven to be the most advantageous legacy integration method for commercial businesses. This is because business enterprise systems are made up of a host of different system applications that work in tandem to perform various processes. An entire system would for instance consist of applications fro supply chain management, customer relationship management software, payroll software and of course legacy applications based business logic software. For these systems to work in tandem applications integration is a necessity. The main benefits of applications integration are: Data integration – In a system that is as varied as a business enterprise system, it is important that data flows freely between all involved applications....

Software giant Microsoft looks as if it has taken the challenge to itself to rise in challenge of strong competition. Remember the time when Netscape was in neck to neck with Microsofts Internet Explorer in web browsing domination? Or when Sony was dominating the gaming world which gave birth to the Xbox? And now as we know it, Apple has taken a very big chunk in the computing world – most particularly in the Tablet technology where iPad has taken the market by storm. This most recent challenge from Apple have once again ignited a fire in Microsoft. Tablet technology market have been a passion for the company with which it has tried to perfect and dominate in the recent decade. The release of Windows 8,has clearly turned its aim toward the tablet market. Previous attempt in the tablet technology has shown its great flaw in clunky hardware and low performing battery life and design. Microsoft have recently lunch a pair of tablets running on Windows 8 – one that is based in ARM platform on Windows 8RT and the other running on a familiar Intel chipset with Windows 8 Pro. Physically it seems more alike and having the look, feel, size and weight of an iPad. What probably sets it apart from iPad is that it has a larger HD – quality screen, a magnetic cover that apes the smart cover from Cupertino, a full keyboard and touchpad but with minimal additional size or weight. With Windows 8 running in the background MS Office comes in very handy. Microsoft is offering the best of both worlds: compatibility with...
