The first year of Roving Integrators

My colleague and friend Félix Mondelo and me decided a few months ago start this adventure, and although it has been a very intense year we've tried to build a place to share experiences about integration technologies. It has been very complicated found time for writing about what we like, but finally we've achieved it. I hope that in 2018 it will be easier 😃

Global Integration Bootcamp 2017


An important month for us was March. Felix and I participated as speakers, along with other coworkers and collaborators, in the spanish edition of the Global Integration Bootcamp. That day we talked with the some members of the integrators community about BizTalk Server, Logic Apps, API Management, Data Factory, DevTest Labs... It was a great day!. "Roving Integrators" had started to take shape...


Global Azure Bootcamp 2017


The following month Félix, me and my One Piece T-shirt had to travel because we participated as speakers in the first edition of the Global Azure Bootcamp at Barcelona. The title of our session was "Logic Apps, The power of new integration". At the end of the event we had the opportunity to talk with the organizers, who told us their experience building a community of users. It was a tiring day, but it was worth the effort.


But that was not all that occurred on that day... we participated in the Global Azure Bootcamp at Madrid too, in this case, in the virtual track. We recorded our session previously and the organization published it in Channel 9: "Logic Apps, The power of new integration". Shortly after we published our first posts... Our project "Roving Integrators" had started!!! 🚀🚀🚀

Integrate 2017




From June 26 to 28 Félix was in London, where he was lucky enough to attend Integrate 2017, the premier Microsoft integration technologies conference in the world. It was three days of awesome sessions with international speakers from MVP community and Microsoft Product Group. If you missed it, you can see the videos here: https://www.biztalk360.com/integrate-2017-resources/

Félix published a pair of articles with a recap of the first and second days:

Our Year in Figures


  • Although we have only written 10 posts last year... in just six months, more than 200 users from 34 countries from five continents read our posts 946 times. It's not bad at all!!!  


  • The 51 percent of our audience comes from Spain, after all, most of our network of contacts is spanish...
  • Surprisingly, only 43,97 percent of our visitors use mobile devices to read our articles.



  • And lastly, most our visits comes from social networks, specifically from Twitter & LinkedIn.



Summary


The first year of Roving Integrators has been a great year. In 2018 we will continue talking about integration technologies and we hope to continue count on your support. It would be important for us to receive your feedback to keep improving, and make 2018 a better year.

Thanks!
