Cloud-Con Integration – Connecting Cloud, SaaS and On-Premise Data and Apps

I recently participated in the Cloud-Con event focused on integration. Run by the Integration Developer News team, I always find these events to be incredibly well run. Vance McCarthy does a great job keeping the dialog relevant, focused and engaging.

Each vendor was given the opportunity to share a case study and to provide an overview of their cloud integration solution. You can download all of the slides and view the sessions here.
