Current CEO ObservationsCurrent CEO Observations

• We need to identify our core – and relatively few -competitors and position effectively against them • Partner aggressively with all other market leaders

• BPM/Orchestration market segment in the SOA world appears analogous to the transaction/messaging market of the client server era• Major vendors see need to “own” it/crush new entrants which

make this an unlikely expansion area for Skyway

• Application development space still seems open due to abdication to eclipse based tools• Key problem appears competing with free/open source

offerings…will need to educate on cost of free

• Skyway’s awareness as a vendor is still very low• Need to create and execute a program to raise it in Q4/Q1

What is SOA?What is SOA?

• A new way of building software• What HTML is to User Interface – XML is to Business

Logic • Consistent access from anywhere

• Consistent access across OS and technology boundaries

• A Service is business logic exposed through XML

• A single Service is accessed by lots of applications

• Services simplify solutions• It does not take a coder to use a service

• More services means less coding

• Less coding means building solutions faster

Page 8: Competitive Analysis w SWOT Matrix

Why the Need for SOAWhy the Need for SOA

• IT cannot keep up with business• Business now moves in Internet time

• IT still moves in IT time

• Adapt or die

• Coding is a dead end• Coding takes too long - even for fast coders

• Changing existing code is as bad as new code• Need a coder to figure out what was previously coded

• Need a coder to write more code to adapt existing code

• Code generation and code modeling are the next steps in building applications

What Skyway DoesWhat Skyway Does

• Models, Not Code• Modeling means making a graphical representation of what you

would otherwise code

• Current Modeling tools only go so far• Good modeling tools eliminate as much as 30% of code

• Skyway eliminates almost 100% of code

• Model Driven Service Design• Skyway models are implicitly SOA

• Even if you do not care about SOA

• Skyway simplicity creates confusion• The graphical nature is often confused with BPM at a glance

• Ease of understanding what was built in Skyway contributes to the misunderstanding

AppDev SWOT: SkywayAppDev SWOT: Skyway

Strengths Weaknesses

Opportunities Threats

• Broadest and most advanced modeling tool available

• Built from the ground up to enable modeling as the path to SOA

• Deployment and Model combine to keep all solutions platform-independent

• How to leverage

• Simplify core marketing messages to focus on value created for Application Developers

• Expand customer support capability to capture wider range of market feedback for future releases

• Private company and small Sales force

• Limited functionality (via Governor) in the Analysis phase

• Assemble phase offers great strengths, but is limited by not having built in connectivity to service registries and Test phase is greatly enhanced by allowing developers to code automated tests, but no functionality that enables Quality Assurance engineers

• No functionality in the Manage phase

• How to mute

• Consider partnership with BPM & ESB/Registry companies (efficiency gains for Service creation)

• Skyays underutilized multi-orchestration capabilities

• Linkage to Services created by BPM

• Creation of new Services built via Builder

• “Hidden” UI services

• Partnership with complementary companies (ie, BPM, ESB, Registry, Governance) to accelerate creation of new Services

• How to capitalize

• Refine Builder’s Orchestration marketing messages

• Enter partner agreements in Q4

• Lack of broader market acceptance

• Lack of awareness of marketing messages and inability to communicate value of models vs. coding

• Selling power of larger competitors

• How to mitigate

• Partner with SI to ensure faster technology adoption

• Communicate partnerships with larger ISV companies to “buy scale”

AppDev SWOT: IBM/RationalAppDev SWOT: IBM/Rational

Strengths Weaknesses

Opportunities Threats

• Large public company with large Sales force and large installed base

• Combined benefits of models and Java coding; excellent functionality in the areas of Analysis, Design and Test

• Perceived as standards based due to pioneering of UML and the Rational Unified Process

• How to position Skyway as an alternative

• Rational models only go to the skeleton code level and do not accelerate construction

• Complexity of Rational makes it difficult to learn and use

• As a result of numerous acquisition, they offer a large but complex tool set that is difficult to use and learn

• Very limited integration exists between the various offerings to address the SOA cycle

• IBM offerings are not integrated with the Rational offerings

• Why Skyway is the answer

• We model the Java code, they write it

• We deploy anywhere, they offer no deployment options in Rational and only IBM support for Eclipse plug-ins

• There is very little opportunity to work with Rational since they view themselves as very competitive to us

• IBMs size, scope of offerings, and large installed base

• Shops that use Rational likely will not consider Skyway

• While the value of the offerings are quite different, IBM claims Rational does pretty much what we do and may be able to “freeze” deals

• If IBM were to rewrite and refocus Rational as a direct play against Skyway, they could be a very fiece competitor

• How can Skyway mitigate

• Emphasize our model-based coding strengths andhighlight Rationals coding/complexity weaknesses

Page 27: Competitive Analysis w SWOT Matrix

27

AppDev SWOT: BEAAppDev SWOT: BEA

Strengths Weaknesses

Opportunities Threats

• Strong and well rounded offerings around SOA management and development

• Perceived as a leader in the SOA space

• Doing a good job of integrating point solutions they purchased to have an integrated offering

• Excellent EAI and integration tools

• Drives may SOA and Java specifications

• How to position Skyway as an alternative

• No modeling or service creation components other than coding

• Skyway complements BEA and feeds new services into its tools

• Most solutions are not fully integrated since they were acquired

• No focus on service creation; the answer is to write code like you always do

• Why Skyway is the answer

• Skyway works well with BEA tools

• We deploy to anything; their tools focus only on BEA deploys

• Opportunity to work with BEA from a service-creation perspective

• Skyway tools create services that can feed directly into BEAsofferings

• BEAs size and scope of offerings

• If they choose to focus on modeling, we will be “frozen” from most BEA accounts

• Even without entering the modeling space, if they perceive us as competing for dollars then they could position us as unnecessary

• How can Skyway mitigate

• Emphasize our model-based coding strengths and highlight BEAs coding/complexity weaknesses

Page 28: Competitive Analysis w SWOT Matrix

AppDev SWOT: Compuware/Optimal JAppDev SWOT: Compuware/Optimal J

Strengths Weaknesses

Opportunities Threats

• Combined benefits of models and Java coding

• Integrated tightly with Eclipse

• Very extensible for organizations that desire to continue writing code and only partially use models

• Integrated with the Compuware Optimal Trace product for Requirements Gathering in the Analysis phase

• How to position Skyway as an alternative

• Skyway is true modeling with Java code output

• Optimal J sill requires substantial code writing

• The model only goes to a limited depth, substantial coding is required to get from model to solution

• No functionality in the Assemble phase

• They only address the Test phase through existing coding standards, they offer no functionality themselves

• The Model is not insulated from the underlying infrastructure – models are tied to explicit platforms once coding is begun

• Deployment is not addressed at all, standard technologies such as Ant are their only answer

• Why Skyway is the answer

• We model the Java code, they write it

• We deploy anywhere, they offer no deployment functionality

• Very little opportunity for Skyway to work with Optimal J since the products are similar in positioning and value

• While Optimal J will not see the same acceleration that Skyway can, it could be more accepted as a middle ground by developers

• It allows them to continue writing code

• But still see some acceleration through modeling but to keep code in the equation

• Compuwares size and large installed base of Optimal J users

• How can Skyway mitigate

• Emphasize our model-based coding strengths and productivity gains combined with access to standard, well-formed Java code

Page 29: Competitive Analysis w SWOT Matrix

AppDev SWOT: Microsoft/VisualStudioAppDev SWOT: Microsoft/VisualStudio

Strengths Weaknesses

Opportunities Threats

• All solutions are fully integrated

• Easy to use for building simplistic solutions

• Perceived as the easiest platform to use for building solutions

• Very easy to SOA enable anything that is built

• How to position Skyway as an alternative

• For Java development environments, we are the most productive modeling tool in the market

• Once a heterogeneous environment beyond Microsoft is required, complexity arises

• Very little is offered to accelerate the test phase, they rely on ease of developer tools to accelerate this phase

• BizTalk is utilized for Assembly, but no clear connection between it and the Build phase

• Why Skyway is the answer

• Microsofts inability to align with non-Microsoft environments and/or non-Microsoft products

• If Skyway were to deploy to .Net servers, there are string partnering opportunities with Microsoft

• Microsoft has not been focusing on their tools or SOA infrastructure; instead, they are focusing on solutions delivered through SOA

• They are Microsoft

• If they choose to enter the modeling space, they likely would create an excellent product

• Skyways lack of support for .Net limits our overall market opportunity

• How can Skyway mitigate

• Explore feasibility of adding .Net functionality

AppDev SWOT: Sun/Java Studio CreatorAppDev SWOT: Sun/Java Studio Creator

Strengths Weaknesses

Opportunities Threats

• Still perceived as a leader in the Java space

• Broad coverage of the SOA SDLC spectrum

• Marketing message blurs the SDLC reality and makes SOA appear ready for today – takes SOA knowledge to get around

• How to position Skyway as an alternative

• They offer nothing in the way of service creation, other than writing code

• Their focus is more BPM than creating the services to feed the BPM

• Solutions where acquired and are not integrated

• No offerings in the modeling space; fixated on the SDLC as if critical mass of services already exist

• Test and Deploy phases are only expedited for Assemblies – no value at all when constructing new services or solutions

• Build phase handled by Studio Creator, which can facilitate only the construction of user interfaces but provides virtually no value for complex business solution creation

• Design phase very limited, again covered by Studio Creator for prototyping

• Why Skyway is the answer

• Skyway works well with Sun tools

• We deploy to anything; their tools focus only on Sun deploys

• Since they offer no solution for the creation of atomic services, Skyway can likely offer the same value to them that we can to any other BPM vendor for building service content

• Suns size and scope of offerings

• The Sun suite of products appear to be very well-rounded and solve many problems within SOA

• Sun has some ability to “freeze” deals when they are head-to-head with Skyway

• How can Skyway mitigate

• Emphasize our model-based coding strengths and highlight our ability to also create/assemble services to support their BPM tool

Page 31: Competitive Analysis w SWOT Matrix

31

AppDev SWOT: EclipseAppDev SWOT: Eclipse

Strengths Weaknesses

Opportunities Threats

• Open source, and in only 4 years, they are represented in 50% of Java development projects (EvansData, 2005)

• The de facto coding environment for Java today

• Excellent tool for Java developers in the Build phase

• Many open source plug-ins to augment functionality

• Standards based for just about everything and quite open and extensible

• Efforts under way to provide a modeling plug-in through open source, it is still aiming at coders just like OptimalJ

• How to position Skyway as an alternative

• Skyway generates the same Java code but at a much lower cost

• IBM links

• Manual coding is only option (high cost, high knowledge requirement, no independence during deployment)

• Almost no functionality in the Analyze and Design phases – even free open source plug-ins are not available

• Assemble phase is only addressed in Eclipse by plug-ins, but no free plug-ins for this phase are available

• Test is only addressed through standard test coding tools (JUnit)

• Deploy is only addressed through standard scripting tools (Ant)

• Why Skyway is the answer

• We model the Java code, their tool requires coding

• We deploy anywhere, they do not have deployment functionality

• Moving Skyway on to the Eclipse platform will give us a much more open appearance

• This would allow us to leverage the Eclipse brand, installed base, and momentum

• For people that want to keep coding, Eclipse is the de facto Java standard

• Eclipse has modeling initiatives that could be competitive over time

• How can Skyway mitigate

• Explore feasibility of adding Eclipse functionality

BPM: SummaryBPM: Summary

• We score much lower than our “peers” in this space• Our Open Application Assembly (OAA) capability is merely a

bridge benefit resulting from the strength of MDSD and PID; we should avoid direct interaction in this space

• We do, however, produce the requisite services for these tools

• Rather than compete directly, we should partner instead• They don’t develop services; we do• Target large cap ISVs• ISVs who lack service development or production capabilities• ISVs who have “committed” to Eclipse• We need to develop supplemental marketing messages

• Analyst Predictions• In 2006, the lack of working governance mechanisms in the midsize-

to-large post-pilot SOA projects will be the most common reason for project failure (0.8 probability)-Gartner

• Many middleware technologies will cease to exist by 2010 such asEAI, ETL, Data Integration, rules engines, and others, due to their inability to move to SOA (0.8 probability)-Gartner

• Skyway’s Key Market Assumptions• SOA runtime will merge with BPM to form a new segment called

BPMS and it will consist of the very large players (BEA, Oracle, IBM, etc)

• The large players consider this space a core area that they need to own

• SOA application development & SOA runtime currently do not speakwith one another presenting a product opportunity for Skyway

• ESB is considered a commodity – large vendors do not consider this product space strategic to them but need to offer a solution
