Become an Integration Trailblazer today by completing the Integration Champion trail on Trailhead.
Integration is often the bottleneck keeping organizations from digitally transforming. Data is necessary in order to achieve digital transformation — but that data lives in thousands of systems and apps — slowing down innovation.
Companies are facing increasing consumer expectations and shifting market conditions — creating demand for data integration projects. In fact, 92% of IT leaders say their companies’ integration needs span beyond IT to encompass a wide range of business functions — from HR to business analysts. Every function depends on connecting applications, data sources, and devices for their day-to-day work.
To accelerate digital transformation, integration must move beyond the four walls of the IT organization. Self-service integration by IT’s counterparts across the business is now critical to ensure connectivity so the organization can move faster.
This is why MuleSoft is unveiling its Integration Trailblazer trail — a learning module that will help you build foundational knowledge on the business value of APIs and integrations.
Who is an Integration Trailblazer?
Integration Trailblazers are lifelong learners of any background — technical and non-technical — who want to learn about integration, API-led connectivity, and the API economy. They are innovators who identify as developers, architects, Salesforce admins, or individuals across sales, marketing, operations, finance, and other business functions.
Integration Trailblazers recognize integration gaps and seek to transform end-to-end customer experiences as well as internal operational models. They are pioneers, innovators, and advocates who encourage their organizations to leverage the power of APIs and integration to become the leaders within their industries.
