Integration becomes a key enabler for the digital transformation of organizations. Many customers nowadays are dealing with hybrid landscapes spanning both cloud and on-premise deployments distributed around the globe. The associated requirements not only challenge the enterprise architecture but also offer opportunities for simplification and savings. On this slide, we outline the growing integration demands that arise when dealing with various integration domains and types of scenarios encountered when heterogeneous components and systems need to be integrated

The figure Illustration of Integration Domains in Hybrid Environments illustrates the integration domains and types of scenarios encountered when heterogeneous components and systems need to be integrated.
The systems to be connected typically "speak" different communication protocols and store their data in different formats and structures. Customers are challenged to extend their integration architecture to address these new domains of integration to exploit the richness of opportunities these areas offer.
As cloud, mobile, and internet of Things (IoT) scenarios are added to customers landscapes, the scope of integration continuously increases. Customers are challenged to extend their integration architecture to address these new domains of integration to exploit the richness of opportunities these area offer.
