  13. BNP Paribas Solution Business Challenge In order to increase corporate cross selling across all banking business lines there was a need to bring together information from three CRMs (Siebel, PeopleSoft, home made CICS-based application) To add to this the unified CRM needed to tn connect several departments including Investment Banking, Asset Management, and Retail. Technical Challenge The existing software infrastructure is WebSphere and the solution needed to support the existing infrastructure. Several attempts were made to put forward a solution leveraging Websphere tools but the efforts were time consuming and expensive. Business Benefit Leveraging iWay a Unified CRM systems was created in weeks rather then months that leveraged the exiting Websphere infrastructure. The staff has concluded that leveraging iWay made the creation of the "services" that tie together all of the systems front-end, back end, etc - easy to create, easy to maintain, and the development cycle was drastically reduced.

  14. Introduction SOA + Legacy = Modernization

  15. SOA

  16. Demystify SOA • SOA is… • A design philosophy and Architecture • A means • A solution • Achieved through Web Services and related technologies • SOA is NOT… • A technology or a methodology • Not an end • Not a product • Only Web Services Opportunity Emerges when SOA is Adopted

  17. Things we need to remember about SOA • It does not mandate building everything from scratch • It does not mean that it will be more expensive to implement. • Development costs will be lower over time due to enforcement of a new level of reuse (process, interfaces and components) • It increases flexibility due to loosely coupling of resources (services), allowing plug and play of underlying technologies and individual components (with multiple vendor and best of breed solutions) • It supports faster time to market

  18. These Services can be … • A function that needs to be used by more than one system • An entire application • A particular product service (e.g. a scoring service) • A particular common utility (e.g. assembling a document, printing a document) • An external web application (e.g. a credit check transaction to the credit bureau) • A host transaction (e.g. IMS) via web services

  19. SOA Benefits Cost Efficiency Agility Adaptability Legacy Leverage

  20. Services and Cost-Efficiency Invoicing Applications Order Processing Applications CRM Applications Lookup 2 Lookup 1 Lookup 3 A Service with equivalent functionality can be implemented and used by all three applications Customer Lookup Service

  21. Services and Agility The new application can easily use available services Order Processing Applications Course Management Application New services can be used by other applications as well Customer Lookup Service Credit Check Service Item Lookup Service Inventory Check Service Room Availability Service

  22. Services and Adaptability The SOA Infrastructure provides a standard mechanism between Applications and Services. Order Processing Applications Changes in services Have potentially no impact on existing applications that use them. SOA Infrastructure Customer Lookup Service Credit Check Service Item Lookup Service Inventory Check Service

  23. Services and Legacy Leverage The applications access the services in a standard way Order Processing Applications SOA Infrastructure Customer Lookup Service Credit Check Service Item Lookup Service Inventory Check Service Legacy platform diversity and complexity is transparent to the application It is the services task to invoke the legacy application Customer Management System Manufacturing System

  24. SOA Benefits Enables IT and Business Alignment

  25. What is ? … a service? A repeatable business task – e.g., check customer credit; open new account … service orientation? A way to integrate your business as linked services and the outcomes that Results … a service oriented architecture? Any IT architectural style that supports service orientation … a composite service A set of related & integrated services that support a business process built on any SOA

  26. Business has a common set of needs Business Executives Voicing a Common Set of Needs to Innovate, Grow, and Stay Competitive 1. Capitalize on new business opportunities Take advantage of existing services and make new ones ubiquitously accessible 2. Enhance responsiveness and customer serviceReduce transaction time and strengthen partner interactions 3. Extend collaboration efforts and information accessibilityProvide access to the right information for employees, customers, & partners 4. Increase productivity Automate process execution and provide easier change management 5. Improve business agility and complianceCreate a single source of information for customers, partners & internal users

  27. IT Needs to meet those needs … IT Requirements Business Value Required 1. Capitalize on new business opportunities Take advantage of existing applications and make new ones ubiquitously accessible • Service Oriented Architecture • Business Application Services • Partner Services • IT Services Management 2. Enhance responsiveness and customer serviceReduce transaction time and strengthen partner interactions 3. Extend collaboration efforts and information accessibilityProvide access to the right information for employees, customers, & partners • Interaction Services • Access Services • Process Services • Development Services 4.

We need to bundle DSL, Cell Phone, Land Line, and Satellite … we need to be able to order it in one spot and get one bill.Rick: Let me investigate, I will get back to you in a week Needs to BundleProducts – DSL, Cell Phone, Land Line and Satellite A partner to Integratorfor satellite Partner 3 fulfillment systems for products and services Fulfillment Janet Branch Manager Rick surveys his IT landscape CRM 2 CRM systems Rick: Janet, I have some great news. We can do it. But it will take 19-24 months oh, and we have to wait until next year until our current projects clear.Janet: Oh, that won’t do. We need to be able to transform quicker Billing 3 billing systems Rick Director of IT

  30. Introducing Composite Services Service A (Credit Check) Service B (Account Balance) Service C (Check Inventory) Service D (Place Order) Composite applications are: • A way to aggregate business services and present them to the right users at the right time. • A method to complete a task by packaging several services • Business Value • Reuse existing assets • Quickly deploy new business models and processes

  32. Legacy

  33. Introduction What is Legacy

  34. What is Legacy • Database • Applications • On-line Transaction Processing systems • Screens 3270 5250 … • Network/transports - (e.g. MQSeries, Tibco, etc.) • Middleware Technologies - (WebLogic, NetWeaver, etc.) • B2B Format - Swift, EDIFACT, Ariba, UCCnet, AS/2, etc.

  35. What is Legacy • Application Servers • Enterprise Application Integration • Enterprise Service Bus • Workflow Systems • Portals • Extract Transformation and Load • Infrastructure Technologies • Integration Appliances • Web Service tools • Messaging Technologies • TP Monitors • Custom Middleware Holy Cow

  36. What is Legacy Tuxedo Custom Middleware MQSeries ? ETL Tools Application Servers Portals

As a result an given project might require an ESB or Advanced ESB.

  38. Why SOA Enable Legacy Systems

  39. Why SOA Enable Legacy Systems • Complex logic in legacy apps make it more attractive to reuse than to rewrite • Many legacy systems perform well, are highly available, and the ROI to rewrite them is not appealing • With a heavy investment in mainframe technologies, modernizing and reusing makes more sense • SOA is a strategy to enable the flexibility to rewrite legacy applications when the time is right

  40. IT Challenges to Legacy • Technical issues • Legacy applications can be complex and difficult to decouple • There are many ways to enable access to a legacy asset. • How do you choose the right one? • Organizational issues • Ownership of a service – who “owns” the service • Funding the service – legacy application teams don’t have much appetite to create a reusable service because a) there is more complexity involved in the solution and b) they now must support multiple consumers • Many applications were written years ago, so authors of those applications may have moved on • Limited resources that understand both legacy and SOA technologies Unlocking the legacy asset
