About this event

In today’s digital landscape, no platform operates in isolation. Whether you’re connecting Salesforce to core banking systems, ERPs, data platforms, AI services, or external partner ecosystems, integration has become one of the most critical architectural domains for delivering business value.

Join fellow architects as we explore the strategies, patterns, and trade-offs behind building a connected enterprise. We’ll discuss when to use APIs, events, middleware, and batch integrations, how to design for scalability and resilience, and the governance considerations that help prevent integration sprawl. Through real-world experiences and interactive discussion, we’ll examine how architects can balance business requirements, technical constraints, security, and operational complexity while creating integration architectures that stand the test of time.

This session is designed for Solution Architects, Enterprise Architects, Integration Architects, and aspiring CTA candidates looking to deepen their understanding of integration architecture and learn from the experiences of others in the community.
