At The Ohio State University, one of the largest public institutions, we have ERPs, departmental systems, 3rd-party and custom-developed applications, and many other systems. That said, unless the activities are so enclosed or unique to themselves, there comes a point where data and/or interoperability is needed. A web page or app without data is just a pretty front-end!
In this world of digital everything and ever-changing technology, we need to be flexible, agile, efficient, and effective in sharing and integrating across multiple channels for faculty, staff, other constituents, and especially students. Glenn’s small but mighty team of architects and data engineers are central to much of this work.
In this session, Glenn will share OSU’s 10+ year journey with WSO2, focusing on our digital transformation in enterprise integrations, data management, and "developer" enablement. I'll briefly explore the challenges faced, solutions implemented, and lessons learned, showcasing the impact, evolution, and future with WSO2.
