You’re running IBM Connections – and now? Is there a way to maximize the usage and include existing (web) applications? Yes – it is. There are many. You’ll learn in this session about the different ways of integrating an existing web application, for example running on WebSphere’s little brother Liberty, with your IBM Connections environment. From simple UI integration on both sides up to data exchange capabilities – the obvious and the non-obvious ones. Security mechanisms included. And it doesn’t matter which part is running on-premise, in the cloud or hybrid – there is no border.
