Integration or Automation?
- Breaking down the silos between process automation and system integration to enable an enterprise wide automation strategy.
- Wednesday, 19th of April
- 12:30 pm - 5 pm
- Location: Home House
Integration is complex, time consuming, expensive and hidden in IT.
Automation seems simple but typically only focuses on tasks rather than end to end process automation.
In this session, we’ll discuss how this needn’t be the case. With the emergence of low-code iPaaS platforms like Workato, IT leaders can now centralise their integration & automation strategies into a single program of work, removing duplication of effort, tools and cost.
We’ll hear from Massimo Pezzini, an ex Gartner VP and Distinguished Engineer talking about how the market is shifting away from silo’d I&A strategies, towards a more co-hesive program of work.
We’ll also hear from Conor Coyle, Lead Business Systems Analyst, Hubspot about how they have successfully federated the delivery of integration and automation, training hundreds of users in Workato and delivering over 1,500 recipes across the business.
