Talend Reference Library offers collections of case studies and white papers to make the case for data integration.
I can’t say that I care for some of the solutions that are proffered but I am aware that having a hammer (topic maps) doesn’t mean everything I see is a nail. 😉
You do have to submit contact information to download the papers.
The papers are useful as guides on making the case for data integration (read topic maps) to management level personnel. Not too much on the technical side and always keeping a focus on issues of concern to them, costs, customer satisfaction, missed opportunities, etc.
Save the “cool” stuff for when you meet with the geeks in the IT department, after you have the contract.
