Responding More Effectively to Changing Market Conditions is a CEO Imperative
75% of CEOs place a high or very high priority on the ability to respond rapidly
Only 1 in 10 CEOs believe that their organization has the ability to be very responsive to react to changing market conditions
CEOs recognize the need to establish effective, real-time response capabilities
CEOs are aware of the power of IT and the weaknesses that result from lagging behind

Would you find it advantageous to have a single point of access to applications for your users?
Would customized information for each user be a benefit? Do you think your users would like to be able to select which
applications and data they would like to have on their desktop? Do users need to be able to update multiple applications in the normal
course of their day? Would applications that automatically update the desktop be a
benefit?

Customer Profile Customers with applications that need to exchange data and are: Mission critical (that is, have “transactional” characteristics) Needed to be accessed by mobile workers Available at different times (for instance, 24/7 order entry, but nighttime order processing)
Opportunity (average deal of $ 50K) Most applications involving remote workers in the field do not provide the worker with the
information they need at the time it is needed. Significant cost savings can be achieved by linking these workers with the applications and data they need in real time.
Customer Pains Processing delays or errors because data is re-keyed or “file transferred” between applications. Transactions are lost or duplicated because of network errors. Processing is interrupted because applications are “temporarily” unavailable or off schedule Information from mobile workers is not timely Mobile workers do not have access to the information they need

Middleware that provides a flexible means to reliably exchange information between applications.
A model based on “queues”.
Messaging Middleware
Assured DeliveryMessages delivered once and only once (even if a MQ fails and is restarted).
Asynchronous DeliveryOnce a message is “put”, an application does not need to wait for a response.
Time Independent DeliveryMessages are delivered when needed and when the application is available.
Transactional SupportGroups of messages delivered as “all or none” (for example, items in an order).
It’s Like Voice Mail for your
applications!

Customer Profile Customers with applications that need to exchange data and are: Mission critical (that is, have “transactional” characteristics) Deployed over a wide variety of platforms (especially, when one of them is zOS). Available at different times (for instance, 24/7 order entry, but nighttime order processing)
Opportunity (average deal of $ 50K)
70% of integration projects are custom coded and most result in end user dissatisfaction because of insufficient security, error recovery, and quality of code. Using WebSphere MQ resolves these shortcomings. Moreover, projects are sped up because the amount of application code is reduced and a single, standard method for applications to communicate is provided.
Customer Pains Processing delays or errors because data is re-keyed or “file transferred” between applications. Transactions are lost or duplicated because of network errors. Processing is interrupted because applications are “temporarily” unavailable or off schedule.
IBM Solution Value ( Real World Examples )
Police Department – Report processing went from 2 weeks to 5 minutes.
Airline Company – Able to provide 24/7 availability for their reservation system.

Information TechnologyHelp desk clues . . . Complaints of lost or duplicated transactions ? If so, do they co-inside with network errors ? “ . . . not available, try again later” ? If so, do they co-inside with unavailable applications ?
Operations manager issues . . . Are batch windows regularly being missed ? Are there planned or unplanned application outages that are problematic ?
Development manager issues . . . Are skills lacking for integration projects that span multiple operating system platforms? Are integration projects delayed because of their complexity (design, code, test) ? Is the backlog for integration projects large or been growing at too fast a pace ? Is there pressure or interest to move from batch window to real time processing?
Business Are people re-keying or “file transferring” data between applications ?
If so, are errors being introduced, it taking too long, or sometimes not getting done ? Do users or customers complain about lost or duplicated transactions ? Do users or customers experience error messages like “ . . . not available, try again later” ? Have “work around” techniques been developed because I/T it too slow to provide solutions ?
WebSphere MQ - Questions to Ask
IBM Software Group | WebSphere software
35
Buying Signals
Business Oriented End customer frustration because of inaccurate, incomplete, or untimely information (for instance,
money transferred between accounts not appearing until the next day – after nighttime processing). Lost business or profits because decisions are made on “stale” information (for instance, putting the
wrong items on sale because it was not based on next day or same day analysis). Higher operating costs relative to the competition because data has not be consolidated (for
instance, purchases at the store level purchases instead of at the corporate level). Inability to grow revenues because of manual or semi-manual processes for data exchanges (like
those that depend on re-keying or file transferring). Unable to effectively respond to competition (for instance, untimely correlation of losses because of
delayed reporting of data).
Information Technology Oriented A pattern of integration projects s that . . .
. . . have been late or have had cost overruns because of their complexity.
. . . have not met user expectations in terms of reliability, security, or performance. A large or growing backlog of integration projects. A shortage of skills for projects that require cross-platform integration. Integration projects that need to be completed quickly.
