An Integration Competency Center

Harriet Fryman group director of integration technologies at Informatica Corp. has an interesting graphic for the 4 integration approaches that he proposes in a recent article in Teradata Magazine.

It is the Shared Services approach which intrigues me because many companies work on a Shared model most of the time and a factor that Harriet Fryman has somehow overlooked is the role of outsourcing partners in this model. An outsourcing partner currently plays a mission critical role in many of these 1 billion dollar companies that the writer mentions; in that the partner with his team of skilled developers monitor,maintain the integration processes and also play an important part in the actual development of these systems by working with subject matter experts.
