Trying to Fully Integrate Thousands of Disparate Systems is Never Going To Work

The demands for integration are increasing each year.  Our approach has been to use middleware, APIs, and data pipelines to try to get disparate systems to exchange data.  That works for a small organization but doesn't keep up with the demands for integration when you have more than a thousand systems.

​

We need to acknowledge that demands for integration are not going away and that trying to integrate thousands of disparate systems is never going to keep up.

We will eventually have to rethink how we create systems for Federated Organizations so the systems have an inherent capability to exchange data.
