CIO Insider: How to Win with a New Integration Strategy
September 15, 2005
CIO Insider - Your Guide to What's New on CIO.com
Integration: New Strategy
Point-to-point integration--writing direct links between
applications--has crippled the health and flexibility of
most IT architectures. Today, some old concepts and some
new technologies have converged to generate a new strategy
that promises to blow away the cobwebs and radically improve
IT's responsiveness while reducing integration costs: the
integration layer.

2. Peer to Peer: Panning for Digital Gold
Scott Sullivan, vice president of information technology and
services for Pitt Ohio Express, made hay from canceling a
big enterprisewide project. He realized that a number of side
projects initiated to support the implementation didn't have
to go to waste. And they didn't. Get the story in his own
words.

3. Vendor Management: Contract Sadness
Too many CIOs cut enterprise software deals that look
fabulous to the CEO and CFO but commit the people who do
the real work to a nightmare of unrealistic expectations.
While columnist Michael Schrage calls that unprofessional
and contemptible, he also says it's shockingly common.

4. From the Publisher: Socket to Me
Software licensing has always been a headache for CIOs. But
the advent of dual core processors makes it worse. CIO
magazine Publisher Gary Beach suggests a possible solution
in licensing per socket. Got your own ideas? Let him know.

5. SOA: Toward the Industrialization of Software
The Hurwitz Group looks at the move toward service oriented
architecture: To achieve the goal of SOA requires IT
management to stop focusing only on the plumbing but to look
at the components of their business in a pragmatic,
nonpolitical, and systematic fashion.
