Economics: globalization demands greater flexibility

Business processes: daily changes vs. yearly changes

Growth through flexibility is at the top of the CEO agenda

Reusable assets can cut costs by up to 20%

Crucial for flexibility and becoming an On Demand Business

Why SOA for business flexibility and reuse?

Integration with Rational Software Architect– RSA is able open a Modeler project and creates

UML 2.0 artifacts from the workspace– Rendered elements are used to develop the

required services and components, establish traceability, and relationship diagrams

– The process, tasks, roles and business items from Modeler now will form the ‘Business Contract’

Integration with RequistePro– Install RequisitePro 7 + fixpack 1 on the same

machine as Modeler v 6.0.2– User can create requirements in Modeler and

link to elements with RequistePro– User can create elements in RequistePro and

link to Modeler elements– User defines integration behavior

Integration with WSRR– Import/export to reuse business services


IBM Software Group

After Simulation Hand-Off the Results to IT

Direct export of models to begin IT development

– Capture intellectual capital in validated model

– Generate artifacts that are immediately consumable by Development

• Based on SOA standards!

What is an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) ?

An ESB is a flexible connectivity infrastructure for integrating applications and services

Powering your SOA by reducing the number, size, and complexity of interfaces

Shape = ProtocolColor = Data type

Performing the following between requestor and service:

CONVERTING transport protocols between requestor and service

HANDLING business events from disparate sources

TRANSFORMING message formats between requestor and service

ROUTING messages between services
