Managing Application Portfolios in Merger SituationsNODe Developer

  • 16:30 - 18:00 at 20.09.2005, in track "NODe Developer - Industry '05" [in session "Developer & Industry 3" starting at 16:30 ]

Abstract:

Today mergers of larger financial institutions are quite common place. You often find conglomerates that stem from a sequence of merger & acquisition activities. In each such case, IT management is confronted with more than one set of applications, often more than one IT service organization and the question is how to deal with such a situation. Typically management likes to reduce cost by migrating to just one application landscape and one IT service organization. This article describes a few observations and patterns how these challenges can be dealt with.

From Workflow and EAI to Orchestration and Web Services (Slides - pdf)

Wolfgang Keller
Workflow and EAI have been the key to integration not long ago. While some people are thinking in these terms, the software world has moved on to Web Services, Service Oriented Architectures and Orchestration. This talk will give you a summary of the evolution that led to the current view on integration architectures. It gives you an idea of the architectural paradigm shifts in the last two years. The talk will enable you to see what has changed, what remains constant, and where large scale users have still their problem with Web Services based integration. As examples we will use approaches from large vendors. The technologies Web Services, Orchestration, Workflow, EAI, Vitria, IBM Web Sphere Business Integration, SAP NetWeaver, SAP XI will also be addressed in this session.

Target Audience: Software Architects who want to know how the current Orchestration and Web Services hype relates to EAI, Workflow and current product offerings
Prerequisites: General understanding of architectures for large scale business information systems.
Level: Intermediate

Germania versus the Timeless Way of Building: A few remarks on how to sell Enterprise IT Architecture to your Peers and Bosses. (Slides - pdf)

Wolfgang Keller
 
This talk gives you as an enterprise architect a few hints how to manage the expectations of your peers and bosses. The talk starts with the usual job description of an Enterprise Architect. We propose city architecture and the pattern- based philosophy of the timeless way of building and piecemeal growth. The talk also presents a few rules on how to divide labour between the project architects and the enterprise architects. And finally, on the important topic of business alignment, the talk shows you a few things which are essential at the very beginning of IT alignment.
