Presentation

Using Integration Maturity as a Guideline when Deciding to Implement SOA
Drawing on his experience in logistics, Pieter will present some key measures that determine the level of maturity of some of the integration models applied within organizations. He will also focus on some of the key performance indicators and describe how they measure integration success.
