  4. On Demand Business – The “Why” An on demand business is an enterprise whosebusiness processes—integrated end-to-endacross the company and with key partners, suppliers and customers—canrespond with speedto any customer demand, market opportunity or external threat.

  5. Traditional The Internet On Demand Deepening Integration of IT with BusinessEmerging On Demand Computing Model Structured Calculations Data Processing Transactions Open Standards Connectivity Flexibility Simplicity Modular Components easily defined and manipulated Dynamic definition and operations

  6. Insights about On Demand Businesses The need for flexibility and innovation forces increased componentization of the overall business and its processes 1. Applications evolve on a parallel path— becoming increasingly modular 2. Simplification of the underlying IT infrastructure is required to support the changes in the business 3.

  7. On Demand Operating Environment Business Processes Today’s Focus: The On Demand Operating Environment Business Transformation Flexible Financial & Delivery Options • Integration • Infrastructure Management

  8. Partners Partners Partners Marketing Sales Web Your Reality: Functional Automation • Historical limitations • Monolithic applications can’t be reused • Ad hoc integration creates connections that are difficult to change/maintain • Lack of standards limits ability to deliver meaningful interoperability

  9. Customer/ Prospect Partners Partners Partners Marketing Sales Web The Looming Reality: Horizontal Process Integration • Advances that make it possible • Standards for creating services and enabling them to communicate are agreed upon by major vendors • Infrastructure that supports self-defined, loosely coupled services has emerged • Tools to incorporate existing assets are available • Automation and virtualization ofsystems resources readily available

  10. Horizontal Process Business Flexibility IT Simplification Partners Partners Partners Horizontal Business Processes Require Next-generation Technology Infrastructure • Increased focus on business flexibility • Use of open standards to enable communication and integration across the value net • Partner to sharpen focus and respond to opportunities and threats • Requires an on demand IT environment • Ability to repurpose application functionality in order to support horizontal processes • Automation and virtualization of resources

  11.

  13. Business Flexibility IT Simplification Partner Partner A Services-oriented Architecture (SOA) is Key • What is SOA? • SOA enables flexible connectivity of applications or resources by: • Representing every application or resource as a service with a standard interface • Enabling them to exchange structured information. • Why do you care? • SOA helps introduce flexibility in a technology environment. There is growing acceptance of SOA as an approach to integration and to structure collections of interacting applications. Horizontal Process The flexibility to treat business processes and the underlying infrastructure as defined components that can be mixed and matched at will

  14.

  18. Business Integration Is the Basis of the on demand Business Transformation • e-Procurement • Market Places • Exchanges • Supply Chain Management • e-Logistics • Product Lifecycle Management • Collaborative Product Design • Business Transformation • Total Asset Visibility • Financials • Insurance • Healthcare • Manufacturing • Telecom • Energy & Utilities • Retail • Customer Relationship Management • Human Resources • ERP Integration • Order Management • Merger & Acquisitions • Government

  19. Separate Business Function and Processes • Core business application logic should remain in the packaged and legacy applications being integrated. • Logic specific to routing and transformation in an application connectivity layer. • Cross-application business process logic in a process integration layer. • Separating business process logic from business process implementation • Defines what needs to be done, when and why, and how it is done, by whom or by which application. • Enables the concept of business flow to be separated from underlying organizational and IT resources that support it

  20. Sales Order Processing ItemManager Order Status Customer Master Application (PeopleSoft) Product Master Application (SAP) Customer Manager Business Process Integration Example: Sales Order Processing CRM Application (Siebel) Step 1: Sales Order is created in CRM Application Step 2: Adapter detects event & delivers Order BO to Integration Broker Step 3: Order BO is transformed, Xref’d & SOP is triggered Step 7: As order status changes in OM, it is automatically updated in CRM Step 5: SOP validates Product details (via Item Manager) & creates or updates Product as required InterChange Server Order Management Application (SAP) Step 6: Order is created in OM application with “Answer Back” for final XRef Step 4a/5a: XRef tables are accessed / updated for Customer / Product as required Step 4: SOP validates Customer details (via Customer Manager) & creates or updates Customer as required

  21. Model Transform Manage Interact Integrate Accelerate Integration in IBM’s On-Demand Operating Environment SimpleIntegratedDevelopment ProvenExperience ServiceOrientedArchitecture Secure &Scaleable StandardsLeadership • Connect & Interact with people and resources anytime, anywhere, with any device • Manage & Monitor performance against business objectives • Accelerate the implementation of intelligent processes • Modelbusiness functions and processes • Transformapplications, processes & data • Integrate islands of applications and information

  22. Technical Criteria for Superior Business Process Integration Approach • Logical, distributed hub-and-spoke architecture that provides rapidly scalable, "plug and play" integration • Data and messaging format independence that provides integration flexibility and reduces system implementation and management costs • Integrate both human resources and applications into coherent real world business processes • Single common view of critical business objects across diverse application environments • Business process definitions, procedures and policies captured and stored in a central repository for documentation, ongoing improvements, accessible throughout value chain • Transactions management and long-running transaction support • Standards based runtime, data and modelling environment • Development tools environment for data mapping, relationship management and process design that provides highly flexible integration management • Enterprise scalability, reliability, availability and performance to meet mission critical requirements

  23. Flexible Financial & Delivery Models BusinessTransformation OperatingEnvironment Service Oriented Architecture • Architecture that leverages open standards to represent software assets as services • Individual software assets become building blocks that can be reused in developing other applications • Shifts focus to application assembly rather than implementation details • Create and integrate new applications out of existing components and applications • Achieve flexibility to enable “processes built to change” • Isolate cross application process control flow from participating applications, centralizing it for enhanced flexibility and ability to manage change at business process levels • Every application and resource is represented as a service with a standard interface which simplifies its activation and the exchange of structured information • Open standard interfaces to connect services Business Flexibility Integration IT Simplification Infrastructure Mgmt The flexibility to treat business processes and the underlying infrastructure as defined components that can be mixed and matched at will

  24. Service Oriented Architecture • Services are typically course (large grained) in granularity, representing complete self-contained functions • checkOrderAvailability, createBillingRecord, calculateDollarValueFromYen, getStockPrice, auditEvent, checkUserAuthorisation • Service Choreography • Business processes define a set of activities carried out in a sequence to realize a business objective • Each step specifies an invokable action and business rules that define the transition to the next step • Services define interfaces to activity implementations • In SOA the process defining the choreography of services is itself defined as a service (e.g. createSalesOrder) • Component Models • Standards based interfaces (XML, Java, WSDL) • Composite applications assembled together from components into a flow that instantiates a complete business process • Applications components (EJBs, BPEL flows, Application Adaptors) and People Facing Components • Mediation and transformation of data (business objects) between components performed by the enterprise service bus

  28. Process Integration – Event Broker Model • Message-based, reliable, transaction based, multi-protocol, scalable event processing • Use business events – from external as well as internal systems - as Publish/Subscribe messages to deliver information to many systems at the same time • Messages between senders and receivers mediated, routed, and transformed by a centalized event broker • Message represent realtime events - market data feeds, airport flight information, purchase order, account transfer or news tickers • Define business events separately from the applications in which they occur • Specific information about any event can be distributed or received based on specified conditions – content of the message, topic, conditional processing and other filtering attributes • Participating applications continue to work independently, so the way the information flows can be changed without making changes to the applications
