Travis Perkins outlines their digital transformation journey and the importance of enterprise integration. They discuss moving from past integration projects that were done quickly and without standards to a new approach using a centralized integration layer. This will allow for greater reusability, repeatability, and reliability of integrations across their systems to share data and enable new applications and services. They highlight the benefits of using an integration platform like WSO2 to build integrations following governance, standards, and patterns for the long-term needs of the enterprise.

Living space like our
systems not
flexible enough
being built brick by
brick and out of
date for a modern
and digital business
Foundations &
infrastructure fragile
no longer fit for
purpose. Costly to
maintain; not easily
expandable
The roof needs replacing
and upgrading like our IT
Processes and Tools
should tie everything
together to ensure the
house is livable and
protect the occupants
Walls of systems creaking,
struggle to hold the
house up, we can’t
successfully build anything
new upon them - in
particular green screen
We suffer from poor
quality data and
availability like
electricity in our
house is essential for
full functioning
Where are we today?
