Portals and SOA . . . Better TogetherA Brief History of Portals

1998 - 2001: Era of Specialized Portals A portal for every business function

(Business Intelligence Portal, Collaborative Portal, ) End Result: High cost of ownership, poor reuse, departmental focus,

redundant services, no interoperability standards, questionable scalability

2002 2006: Era of Portal Frameworks Single technology framework for multiple business functions, with

complete application level services Support for interoperability standards - WSRP, JSR 168 Common portal services preconfigured for common use cases

(decision dashboards, business processes, collaboration, publishing, application integration,

Portals and SOA . . . Better TogetherPortals Are the Face of SOA

Common principles Clearly separates services from

consuming applications Accommodates heterogeneous IT environments Leverages Web services standards extensively to

consume services Communicates to provide orchestrated flows and on-the-

glass composite applications Surface standards-based, course-grained services Connect loosely coupled composite applications Manage rules, policies, events, alerts, monitors

Portals and SOA . . . Better TogetherPortals Are the Face of SOA

SOA Behind the Glass Defines and implements how services are enabled, secured,

orchestrated, managed, optimized, ... Complete, layered architecture Process, message orientation (not functional/object)

Portals On the Glass Consumes and assembles services for use by users Surfaces process and messages/notifications Process-driven composites easily exposed via portal Brings the power of SOA to the Line of Business user

Easily modified and adapted to changing business conditions and opportunities Flexibility and speed of change

Agenda


Where Do I Start?Phased Approach Key Business Areas First

SOA impacts every aspect of business and IT Identify key business objectives and define success Look to improve business processes in key areas

Incremental and measured approach Define your problem domain: Create a service framework

around a subset of existing applications Consider ramp-up time during implementation Understand technology & multiple back-end systems Adhere to standards Understand existing Business Processes & Services or create

new Business Processes & Services Consider extending beyond organization's boundaries

to include content and services from customers, partners, and suppliers

Where Do I Start?Kick Start SOA with Enterprise Portals

Deliver immediate value to users Cure information overload by a single, highly

intuitive & interactive user experience

Realize significant business and IT benefits Example: Portals make aggregated information

available to users who require specific data to do their jobs

Enable personalization of information for increased productivity & better decision making

Leverage existing assets/investments in guided business processes

Improve communication & collaborations Improve customer service & supplier relations Provide single secure point to aggregate &

deliver services

BenefitsRealization

If you buy the SOA concept, the portal can represent a rational first step down that path. If, instead, you take a wrong first step by buying an overwhelming number of

technologies, you will lose time, money and momentum.

Quote AttributionGartner, 2006

So to avoid turning your portals into technical dead-ends, use standards-driven, scalable, secure, dynamic approach

Agenda


Key Challenges Looking ForwardPortals Need to Evolve Again

Portlets and the portlet model can be constraining IT systems will always outnumber

prepackaged portlets Portlet style of Web services not always the

most efficient or appropriate Portlet standards are limited in scope and

adoption Limited integration capabilities

Primarily visual, on-the-glass integration Largely point-to-point (app-portal) and

synchronous Complex business processes require

extensive custom programming
