Ipedo, a provider of enterprise information integration software, today announced the release of its 2005 Enterprise Information Integration (EII) Survey results, which show increasing synergy between EII and Web Services, especially among organizations that have successfully deployed multiple EII applications. The survey was co-sponsored by ebizQ, a business integration web site, and Decideo, a European on-line business intelligence community.
The survey polled more than 170 leading users of data integration technologies, including CIOs, enterprise architects, vice presidents of IT, and development managers. The respondents worked in a wide variety of industries including financial services, energy, manufacturing, insurance, technology, defense, retail, IT services, consulting, and government.
The main reasons why companies are embracing EII are to access disparate information more easily (49%), to complement other data integration approaches (37%), and to facilitate migration to service oriented architectures (SOA) (30%).
