The Issue
First, I would like to throw out a couple of general thoughts for consideration.
With our knowledge based work force entering the age of retirement we start to realize the growing dilemma that the integration industry is facing and the pressing requirement for qualified and trained human resources by both end users and vendors.
The Challenge
This human resource challenge is further confirmed during industry presentations. One of the principal end user issues brought up during presentations around the world is that integration resources are currently woefully inadequate to meet the needs of the end users. It is not because current integration practitioners have any shortcomings, just that there are not enough of them to quench the current demand, especially when one searches for specific experience and knowledge resources in the integration space.
Thus it is overly apparent that education needs to be a priority for the integration industry. There are a few vendors and 3rd party organizations that provide either product seminars or online education, which is a wonderful start to addressing the education crises but it does not really answer the need for a robust curriculum and educational platform for the integration industry.
All industry stakeholders should be driving, no, demanding the development of a professional accreditation in integration. End users and vendors alike continue to contact the Integration Consortium daily seeking finely honed and experienced integration specialists to contribute to their solution teams. Therefore the need exists and the shortage of experienced and qualified resources can be termed a crises. Supply and demand economics 101, big demand and a short supply, therefore why are we not filling the need?

A lot of people are talking about Enterprise 2.0 as being the business application of Web 2.0 technology. However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform. Still others say that Enterprise 2.0 is all of these things. Learn More
