The mission of the new website is to provide a single location where people have the opportunity to gather relevant information on integration practices and technology working towards achieving the goal of establishing an Integration Body of Knowledge (IBOK) for integration as a distinct discipline.

The IC is a global organization and so, we required a website that would allow members to be active 24/7. Reaction to the new site has been outstanding and we are thrilled with the increased level of member participation.

"Last month, visitors to the IC website represented nearly 50 countries from North America to South America, Europe, Asia & the Middle East", says Leanne MacDonald, IC Executive Director. "The IC is a global organization and so, we required a website that would allow members to be active 24/7. Reaction to the new site has been outstanding and we are thrilled with the increased level of member participation."

The site offers access to a news release section, 500+ case studies & whitepapers, blogs, event listings, resources, Chapter groups, technology specific groups and much more -- all dedicated to integration, architecture issues and best practices.

The mission of the Integration Consortium (IC) is to foster the leading community of like-minded Information Technology professionals responsible for transforming business through both traditional systems integration and emerging SOA with greater agility, ease of use and business results.

The IC is a member-driven community that shares experiences, knowledge and best practices in multiple forums. Our members champion; innovation, feedback between members, collaboration with standards bodies, and the articulation of strategic and measurable business benefits for leading-edge capabilities. Annual meetings are complemented by a growing number of regional chapters who meet periodically. On-going networking is encouraged through the dynamic IC website which supports knowledge exchange and records of industry papers and case studies.

One of the IC's strengths is the diversity of member support and interest. Our membership includes end user corporations, independent software suppliers, hardware suppliers, system integrators, academic institutions, non-profit institutions, individual members as well as various industry leaders.
