6. 6 Requirements Business Agility requires IT Flexibility IT Flexibility requires Flexible infrastructure Flexible infrastructure require SOA Successfull SOA requires Standards Application Integration Platform Data Integration Platform

7. 7 The 3 adjustments for Success Integration and Innovation Projects Integration Competency Center (ICC) Approach Long Term Blueprint (SOA, EDA) Architecture Scalable and Flexible Platform Technology

8. 8 The Evolution of Integration Legacy Applications Key applications functioned independently Data and application logic lumped together on isolated systems The mainframe era Integration not a priority ERP Applications Core back office functionality packaged into customizable modules Single-vendor providing tightly coupled applications Integration restricted to a few applications (CRM with Financials, etc.) Application and Data Integration Multiple vendors providing different critical application components Information assets distributed across heterogeneous systems Application and Data Integration become TOP priority

13. 13 Technology confusion Vendors have delivered functionality in various forms and packages to meet these Integration needs over time: ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) MOM (Message Oriented Middleware) EAI (Enterprise Application Integration B2B (Business to Business) Workflow BPM (Business Process Management) BAM (Business Activity Management) EII (Enterprise Information Integration) ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) What technology or combination of technologies is right for my project?

14. 14 Service-Oriented Architecture An integrated software infrastructure and design approach to expose business relevant data and application services in a loosely coupled, standards based form. SOA - Leverages web computing standards (XML, SOAP, etc.) Promotes wrap and reuse of existing IT assets Metadata-driven to maximize portability

15. 15 Two Types of Integration Enterprises have two major type of IT assets they need to integrate These are two different integration problems which require different technologies & approaches Business LogicData Application & Process Integration Data Integration

17. 17 The Importance of Data Integration in SOA “Companies must build a solid data services layer; Otherwise SOA benefits will NEVER be realized” “The vast majority of companies must have a data integration strategy to accommodate change.” “SOA’s success is contingent on a data integration strategy” “SOA will fail if long-standing data quality, data redundancy and semantic inconsistency issues are not addressed.” “Organizations must address data integration issues during their SOA implementations.” AMR Research “Data Integration, Foundation for SOA”, September 2005 Gartner “Data Integration Is Key to Successful Service-Oriented Architecture Implementations”, October 2005 “In utilizing service-oriented architectures (SOA) for integration projects, IT departments should seek to avoid two commonly made mistakes: giving insufficient attention to how data will flow over the underlying architecture, and insufficient use of metadata.” Nucleus Research “SOA: The Two Biggest Mistakes to Avoid”, November 2005
