EXTOL International has been selected by the COMMON Conference Education Committee to deliver two key business integration education sessions at the upcoming conference and exposition in Nashville, March 30-April 3. Mark Denchy, EXTOL director of product management, will explain issues and opportunities surrounding the removal of barriers between systems, processes, applications, and partners.
"Business integration has become a mainstream tool for bridging the gap between IT and business managers," says Denchy. "The complex way businesses must interact for supply- and demand-chain efficiencies necessitate (its)...use. These sessions will give COMMON attendees a good understanding of the related issues and the alternatives available."
The "Web Services Architecture" session will reveal how companies can achieve near real-time business-to-business (B2B) and application-to-application (A2A) collaborations. The session will discuss service-oriented architecture (SOA) and how Web Services complements integration platform services that supply process automation, data transformation, communication management, end-to-end auditing and other integration services without having to manage implementation details.
In the "Business Integration Patterns for the System i Professional" session, Denchy will provide an overview of the complex practice of enterprise integration, which requires a multi-faceted understanding of process automation, data transformation, communications, and other technologies. Attendees will learn the benefits of using integration patterns-reusable, best practice solutions-to solve different classes of integration issues.
COMMON is the networking community, industry advocate, and leading education provider for System i (AS/400, iSeries and System i5) users in North America. EXTOL is a leading provider of B2B integration software applications for both internal and external collaboration. Denchy is considered an expert on the subject with more than 20 years experience in software application development and platform integration.

In addition to conducting the educational sessions, EXTOL will also participate in the conference as an Elite Exhibitor, Booth 505.
