Customer Goal•SCI (Scottish Care Information) is a key national IM&T programme to support the entire patient journey by developing and making available consistent IT systems and standards, which are owned collectively, developed and facilitated centrally. SCI supports clinical communication; Electronic Patient Record (EPR); and Electronic Health Record (EHR) Development.
Highlights•To create a seamless service which gives patients continuity of care•More appropriate diagnosis and referral•Improved Outpatient booking process•Improved administrative handling of patient in hospital•Many more…

Writing to proprietary APIs (or screen-scrape)

Massive re-use of existing IT investment Cost savings High degree of flexibility Rapid solution development thru re-use “Mashing-up” : assemble to order

Could be Depends on approach

Lack of concept maturity (SOA not well understood) Expectation that it will be expensive Confused with business transformation Design & operational skills scarce Getting S/W infrastructure to match SOA needs
Confidential and Copyright © BridgeForward Software 2007 24
Existing EAI tools: message-based, hub & spoke
New SOA paradigm: Processed-based, all new
Hybrid Approach: Message-driven SOA Assemble order from incompatible technologies
by “enabling” existing (legacy) applications
Confidential and Copyright © BridgeForward Software 2007 25
Incremental approach Tactical Bottom-up approach

A service oriented, process-based integration suite Multi-Platform Highly Scalable High Performance
Confidential and Copyright © BridgeForward Software 2007 27
Take integration to a new level that’s scalable from device to mainframe
A component based architecture and a business model which will appeal to OEMs
A transition technology that will support SOA while offering the same robustness as EAI
Confidential and Copyright © BridgeForward Software 2007 28
Current EAI integration products provide a largely antiquated centralized enterprise view, not geared toward a distributed integration platform
Service enablement is key to protect organization’s major investments and assets in this area and to support an SOA
Current products not geared to support scalability with small footprint – next generation integration will require “device to mainframe”
Confidential and Copyright © BridgeForward Software 2007 29
Two ways to approach integration Message oriented
Broker based, hub and spoke or federated message passing infrastructure
i.e ClearSpan Process oriented
Orchestrated process based integration i.e Viaduct

Easy integration of disparate applications Allow reuse of existing information assets
reducing cost and time to implementation Expose business logic as a reusable
service Organizations retain their investment in
applications and infrastructure
Confidential and Copyright © BridgeForward Software 2007 31
Service-enable legacy systems and data Brings older applications and data into the world
of SOA without having to apply an enterprise architecture
Easily learn/build/maintain multiple interfaces Reduced implementation and maintenance
costs both in terms of manpower and skills required
Confidential and Copyright © BridgeForward Software 2007 32
Rapid Interface Development & Deployment Highly productive development and
configuration tools Deployment into virtually any
environment from device to mainframe
Confidential and Copyright © BridgeForward Software 2007 33
Enables full reuse of all processes & models
Functionality and productivity enhancement IBM Websphere, Oracle Fusion, BEA WebLogic
and others Available as software only or as an
appliance

Perhaps it is in the eyes of the beholder By web enabling legacy apps under an
SOA structure, real value is achieved at reasonable cost and minimal risk
Also, the incremental. tactical, message-driven approach is surprisingly more scalable than the process-driven model due to its loosely coupled nature.
