HOST: Eric Kavanagh

THIS YEAR is…

The Real-‐Time Enterprise

�  Data-‐driven organizations want faster time-‐to-‐insight and time-‐to-‐action

�  Data governance and quality tend to slow down critical processes

�  “Intelligent Operations” can be the key to delivering agile, robust enterprise functionality

Next Generation Enterprise Application

Beyond Big Data and Cloud

+State of Enterprise Today

n  Multiple producers and consumers need to share data in a collaborative decision support and application environment

n  Tight coupling of information management and decision support hampers innovation

n  Market opportunity to embrace newer technologies like cloud and dynamic application interfaces not successful due to inherent design and deployment issues.

n  Proliferation of different data models (XML schemas) in the enterprise

n  No consistent semantics across the Enterprise

+Demand of the Market

n  Agile Enterprise

n  Innovation – A Core Skill

n  Flexible and Adaptive Architecture

n  Robust Security – User and Data

n  Inter-Operability – Cloud and On-Premise Ready

n  API – Application Platform Interface

n  Plug and Play Deployment

+Defining The Next Generation

n  The application platform for the next generation enterprise

n  Will be cloud driven

n  Will be based on platforms like REST API

n  Will be late binding models allowing for greatest amount of architecture flexibility

n  Will be ready for plug and play deployments

n  Will be applicable across desktop, tablets and mobile environments

n  Will not carry data until the application is used

+Enterprise Architecture Driven Strategy

Ross, Weill & Robertson Architecture

+Benefits of a New Strategy

o  Strategic Initiatives

o  Operating Model

o  Enterprise Architecture

o  Engagement Model

o  Foundation for execution n  The IT infrastructure and digitized

business processes automating a company’s core capabilities.

+Next Generation Enterprise

l  With the evolution of the enterprise architecture as a strategy that aligns business and technology into one coherent operation and execution.

l  Assurance is gained through an ability to not only have all the information but also, through coherency, have the information provide access to additional knowledge within the enterprise.

l  Alignment is very mature because the rules for processing information will allow descriptions to be compared for alignment and adjusted accordingly.

l  Agility is achieved because the designs are coherent, which includes an understanding and practice of loose coupling by design instead of tight coupling by accident through the entire architecture process.

The Archaeology of Software Data Centers often resemble ancient/modern cities like Rome — some of the infrastructure and the applications are very old, but still functioning; some are working very well

“Rip and replace” is rarely an option for much of this, and yet new “must-adopt” technologies and applications appear regularly at every level

This is one of the primary reasons why corporate IT remains expensive

Is there an architecture or even a platform that

can handle this situation?

And By The Way… We are at the start of a major

transformation in IT as we attempt to come to grips with:

The Internet of Things

Event-driven Architectures

Real-time Everything

EnterpriseWeb™

EnterpriseWeb is a real-‐:me applica:on pla=orm for ‘smart’ data-‐driven services, apps and processes. EnterpriseWeb supports real-‐:me feedback with embedded Opera:onal Intelligence and Predic:ve Analy:cs. It makes event-‐based architecture prac:cal, scalable and affordable.

User-Driven

Enterprise Agility

Machine-Learning

Change Management

Exception Management

Systems of Engagement

•  Respond to opportuni:es and threats

•  Op:mize service delivery

•  Inject Compliance, Governance and System Controls

•  Automate good architectural prac:ce

EnterpriseWeb™is ideal for -‐

•  Intelligent Business Process Management (iBPM) and Adap:ve Case Management (ACM): Applica:ons for dynamic domains that can’t be neatly standardized into assembly-‐line processes (Healthcare; Research & Development; Emergency Response; Defense/Intelligence; Legal-‐work; Project Management, HR Processes; etc.)

•  Governance/Risk/Compliance (GRC) and Business Ac:vity Monitoring (BAM): Business applica:ons where detected or correlated internal events can trigger system ac:ons (alerts, no:fica:ons, etc.) and human workflows (inves:ga:ons, board reviews, etc.)

•  Data Migra:on (DMM), Data Quality (DQM) and Master Data Management (MDM): Data-‐centric applica:ons that leverage: Virtualiza:on; Physical Storage; Applica:on Run-‐:me for Scrip:ng and Human Workflows; Rela:onship Mapping, En:ty Modeling; Change Data Control, Roll-‐back; Real-‐:me Valida:on and Algorithmic Mapping – for greater value.

•  Internet-‐of-‐Things (IoT): Network monitoring applica:ons where detected or correlated events across systems and/or devices can trigger system ac:ons (alerts, no:fica:ons, load balancing, etc.) and human workflows (service calls, emergency response, etc.)

•  Sobware Defined Everything: Sobware-‐Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Func:on Virtualiza:on (NFV)


North America, Europe, The Middle-‐East, Australia / New Zealand, South America

•  Leading Academic Medical School in NY uses EnterpriseWeb for a

unified Research Management portal

•  Large SAP integrator is developing next genera:on ETL and Data Migra:on Tools powered by EnterpriseWeb

•  Telcom Industry Consor:um uses EnterpriseWeb as enabling technology for ‘smart’ policy-‐driven network management

•  Prominent Enterprise Architect uses EnterpriseWeb to produc:ze methodology for Risk Management for large-‐scale sobware projects

The logically mul:-‐tenant pla=orm supports Cloud

and on-‐premise deployment models

EnterpriseWeb™ prominent, diverse, global customers


EnterpriseWeb™ is comprised of 3 primary components -‐

RESTful Applica.on Fabric: An elas:cally-‐scalable applica:on fabric for modeling, running and governing fully-‐dynamic composite applica:ons and processes – it provides a web-‐based management counsel for monitoring ac:vity, lifecycle management, navigable dependency maps and version control with audit history and rollback

Virtual Repository: A schema-‐less Web-‐style repository of structured, semi-‐structured and un-‐structured informa:on, stored as indexed documents (Data is co-‐located with Code, UI components and ‘adaptors’ for federated services/APIs) -‐ the Virtual Repository includes an extensible library of system capabili:es (Security, Iden:ty & Access Management, Organiza:onal Hierarchy, Master Data Management, Applica:on/Service Modeling, and Portal with Enterprise Search, etc.)

Transac.on Management: Distributable sobware agents that execute all system processing – run-‐:me execu:on is performed in interac:on-‐specific containers that op:mize use of RAM for scalability for High-‐Performance Compu:ng with policy-‐based concurrency management (agents handle all connec:ons, orchestra:on, transforma:on, queries, cache/release, state management/persistence, indexing/tagging, etc – automa:cally)
