Abstract:
IBM WebSphere Cast Iron cloud integration is IBM’s platform for integrating on-premise systems such as SAP, Siebel and DB2 with software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers such as SalesForce.com and Oracle CRM On Demand. This session will initially provide an overview of the Cast Iron platform including the variety of offerings available, endpoint adapters, easy-to-use functionality and more, before discussing recent highlights in the platform such as the Connector Development Kit and the IBM Service Management Pack for Hybrid Cloud Integration, and finally giving some best practices for developing maintainable and performant orchestrations. The session will then lead onto an overview and demonstration of the latest offering, Cast Iron Express, a self-service lightweight web application aimed to offer the same 'configuration not coding' approach to creating on-premesis to off-premesis integrations in days. If there is time there will also be a brief demonstration of the WebSphere Cast Iron Studio development tool.
