IQ Server Product Overview June 2005

The problem we solve in a customer’s words… “We have almost 400 applications and they are all intertwined and very difficult to change. This causes mountains of complexity and there really is not one documented map of how all the applications interact nor how information flows between them. Certain people have the knowledge of how their applications interrelate but have no idea what happens to information beyond that first hop. And, as people leave much of the knowledge of a potential impact of a change walks out the door with them. In 2003 we spent only 20% of our budget on new projects; the rest was spent maintaining the existing portfolio. Many companies are adopting Service Oriented Architecture to straighten this all out, but the migration to such an architecture will take decades. More knowledge of the current state would benefit that endeavor.” IT Executive at Fortune 500 company Complexity limits visibility, making change difficult Application knowledge is limited and declining As a result, 80% of the IT budget is spent on maintenance. And without visibility into the “as is”, fixing this problem is an enormous effort.

The average $3 billion Fortune 1000 company… Has hundreds of software applications –Multiple technologies (programming languages, packaged applications, databases, middleware) –Millions of lines of source code, thousands of database tables/columns, multiple metadata repositories –Tens of millions of individual components (functions, variables, DB columns, etc.) Spends $150 million on IT Spends $105 million (70% of total budget) on application maintenance Has almost no visibility into existing applications –What they contain – the inner-workings of applications –How it’s all connected –How it can be leveraged to meet business needs Lack of visibility is a major barrier to IT agility, a driver of cost, and a contributor to risk

What is it? A search-based software solution for Enterprise Application Visibility 1.Automatically discovers artifacts within applications and their underlying databases (source code, metadata, API’s, etc.) 2.Maps dependencies within and across multiple applications, databases, and middleware 3.Provides fact-based insights to IT management and project teams (impact analysis, metrics, trending analysis) What is it used for? The Metallect IQ Server Application Maintenance Break-fix, enhancements, changes Dependency analysis enables accurate impact assessment Search reduces “ramp-up” time by 90% Application Governance Compliance (SarbOx, HIPPA etc.), policies, architecture Search enables rapid audit across applications Application Modernization Automatically creates an organized inventory of existing services and functional components Search enables re-use

The Metallect Solution

Real World Use Cases for IQ Server Semantics Rapid Discovery –Rapid reconciliation of ever-growing software sprawl (the hairball). –Provides real, usable and immediate visibility –Empowers Architects with real-time, dynamically updated knowledge –Auto-reconciliation of disparate dictionaries / taxonomies –Tracking dependencies and relationships between it all: Ontologies, software terms, data terms, human words, business terms, functions, variables, etc. etc. etc. Modification /Enhancement –Break / Fix dependency tracking –Consolidation / elimination of duplicate functionality Governance / Compliance –Audit (for compliance, etc.) –Metallect integration with Logic Library –Automate the process of software asset discovery and governance. –Assess their current information systems state with respect to one or more reference models. –Periodically execute rediscovery of systems, and the ASAA adapter execution Triggers automated asset updates, new asset versions, and creation of new assets based on changes to the environment. Triggers appropriate governance processes May result in the architects responsible for governance and management to further interrogate those responsible changes –Check for duplication –Review and approve the changes for downstream visibility and consumption within Logidex. Migration / Modernization –Legacy -> SOA Migration –Re-use –QA & Testing

What makes Metallect unique? Semantic analysis – the key to application visibility –Determines the meaning of cryptic application artifacts –Identifies explicit and implicit relationships & dependencies Search-based – lightweight, non-invasive layer on top of existing systems –Built to handle large volumes of information –Provides an enterprise-wide view Highly automated –Quickly builds a valuable information asset from existing apps –Adds intelligence that would otherwise take many man-years to derive The bottom line: Leverage to reduce cost, risk, and time to value
