INTEGRATION ARCHITECTURE GOALS• Standardize data to provide meaningful information across the

business domain (EII)– Metadata repositories– Metadata service wrappers

• Standardize systems within an organization, such that they can be linked together simply to solve business problems (EAI); this includes both business data and processes– Bus (e.g. ESB)– Hub and Spoke

I mentioned agile enterprise in the title

Integration architecture blah, blah, blah. Where's the agile enterprise?

3/16/2010 122010 Property of PSC Group, LLC

I mentioned agile enterprise in the title

• Quicker time to market

• Increased global competition

• Less reaction time

Integration architecture blah, blah, blah. Where's the agile enterprise?

Information that you need• How is my sales pipeline/ product distribution/ widget

sales process performing right now?

Information that you need• How is my sales pipeline/ product distribution/ widget

sales process performing right now?

• Real-time data on your business processes?

What am I looking at? Is this bad?• Comparing trends in near-time to historical ones gives

you context to make good business decisions

Integration architecture blah, blah, blah. Where's the agile enterprise? (cont’d)

3/16/2010 152010 Property of PSC Group, LLC

I wonder if “this” would help• Simulations of your idea can be compared to a baseline

(i.e. current) as well as to history to provide quick, credible feedback

• Changes reflective of new business conditions can be made very quickly

Integration architecture blah, blah, blah. Where's the agile enterprise? (cont’d)
