Open source integration is coming of age. IONA is sponsoring an open source ESB - the ObjectWeb Celtix open. Now there is open source integration for the SMB market. Jitterbit recently released their 1.0 version designed for the SMB market. Jitterbit is designed to provide quick and easy point-to-point integrations. It provides dialog boxes and drag and drop transformation. Once the integration is defined, it can be exported it into an XML document and be packaged as a Jitterpak which describes all aspects of an integration. Jitterpaks can be emailed, put on website to be downloaded, shared with a community, or even sold. There are Jitterpaks available for Salesforce.com. Jitterbit also plans to release Jitterpaks for QuickBooks and Great Plains.

Jitterbit supports Web Services, XML Files, HTTP/S, FTP, ODBC, flat and hierarchic file structures and file shares. It can be downloaded for free at http://www.jitterbit.com. Check it out. And let me know if you do.
