Semantic Integration: The Next Quantum Leap Toward Business Agility
By Beth Gold-Bernstein, Chair, ebizQ Virtual Conference Series, ebizQ
About this feature: Semantic integration requires knowledge of the meaning of data within the systems, including integrity rules and the relationships across systems. ebizQ’s own vice president for strategic services, Beth Gold-Bernstein, says business agility will be greatly enhanced when the semantic meaning of data is managed and reused. "Companies that view integration only as a task on a tactical project, will not be able to leverage the discovery and coding of semantic meanings across systems," she says. "In contrast, companies that blaze the trail of semantic integration will reap the rewards of increasing business agility."
