                    For the best integration performance for big data challenges, make sure your middleware can leverage in-memory data grid computing, but don't overlook the need for business process management and optimization for the enterprise systems you're integrating.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    More than half of respondents in a TDWI survey say they're actively using or evaluating predictive analytics (PA) technologies. That's big -- but whether PA ever sees truly pervasive adoption is another matter.
