About

Integration of systems, processes, and data has long been an objective for organisations across the economy. Integration streamlines workflows, underpins digital transformation, and fosters innovation by allowing businesses to work with third-party services. It can, in turn, improve customer experiences and let organisations adapt to evolving market demands with minimal development effort.

The benefits are undisputed but barriers remain. These include challenges of governance, scalability, performance, compatibility, and complexity. Often these challenges are compounded by dealing with an array of older systems and the consequences of previous efforts to bring systems together. API sprawl is not uncommon.

Meanwhile, operating beyond an organisational perimeter requires a culture shift and a new approach to security. For most organisations the question is not whether to be open but how to do so safely and securely, protecting data and IP while providing seamless journeys across B2B ecosystems and out to customers.

To explore the benefits of integration – and to discuss how to combat the challenges, too – CIONET and Axway are hosting a not-to-be-missed executive roundtable. The evening will offer a chance to share experiences with other senior IT decision makers and to hear from subject matter experts.

Among the topics we will explore:
- Integration strategies and tactics
- The impact of hybrid and multi cloud
- The potential of GenAI and agentic AI
- API management platforms
- Integration and organisational culture
- Data sovereignty and privacy
- Security and compliance
- Governance and lifecycle management
