9. Mission Critical Considerations The basic truth is that the New Economy was always about productivity gains and still is," Business Week editorial "Nasdaq Crashed. The New Economy Didn't": January 22, 2001. Savvy "e-generation businesses" have been quick to grasp the Internet's potential as a powerful tool for their larger efforts • Improving products and services development time • Improving organizational productivity • Creating strong partnerships • Expanding chain of operations

10. Collaborative Roadmap Business analysts and IT staff must work in tandem as they scope and develop new applications that provide new products and services to customers, enhance the success of strategic enterprise architecture positioning. Many companies facing relentless time-to-market pressure are missing what he calls the whole e-business picture" by jumping in without a clear application roadmap Dr. Ravi Kalakota, author of "E-Business: Roadmap for Success" (Addison-Wesley, June 1999)

11. Enterprise Interoperability The successful implementation of consistent, scalable, reliable, incremental and cost effective solutions depends on the standards and methodologies that are defined for these levels. Consider the following four questions: 1. How is information to be shared within an Application? 2. How is information to be shared between Applications within an Enterprise (A2A)? 3. How is information to be shared between Enterprises (A2B, B2A and B2B)? 4. How is information to be shared directly with Customers (C2B and B2C)?

12. Open Architecture An integration platform must be based on open rather than proprietary standards to ensure interoperability among the applications that run on it or are managed by it Enterprises that thrive in the future will be those that can rapidly assimilate packaged applications and reuse existing applications in new ways. They understand that systems built to change are ultimately more valuable than systems built to last. The key to their success will be how to modularize their application portfolio and organize the connections among the systems. Roy Schulte, Gartner Group

13. EAI Benefits Application integration is evolving into a software infrastructure layer that it is built on standards and provides a fully extensible enterprise platform. The goal is a renewed focus on business problems themselves and not on infrastructure or integration, resulting in : • Rapid application development • Control Project Cost • standards-based solution that provides not only near-term value but ensures increased time-to-value for future IT initiatives.

14. A2A B2C Enterprise Application Integration • The key to developing a Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Architecture is recognizing that there are different levels of integration, each with its own particular requirements and considerations. B2B

15. Application to Application The complete A2A architecture must embrace the new component standard for application development, middleware products for cross-platform communication, as well as all of the technologies and standards that have already been deployed within the Enterprise. Businesses can not afford to replace or reengineer all of their mission critical applications. Roy Schulte, Gartner Group

18. Application Integration Framework Business process automation products: • built on standards • provides a fully extensible enterprise platform • based on workflow technology • allow the business logic exposed by adapters to be tied together into a cohesive, end-to-end transaction flow.

19. Responding to the Challenge What steps should I take to ensure that our organization flourishes in the digital business economy?”

20. 1 Integrate Within Your Enterprise The most important first step in successfully positioning your enterprise is integrating the disparate, disconnected applications that are used within your enterprise to automate your business processes. • Initiating communication among all the disparate applications. • Most applications within an enterprise are heterogeneous; they have been written in different programming languages and run on different operating systems and hardware platforms. • An underlying software that enables communication between a mix of these different and disparate application regardless of their platforms.

21. 2 Manage Business Processes • Achieved by modifying or writing new programs that calls the business logic of the integrated applications through their adapters • When this new application is executed, it calls each of the integrated applications in a sequence that corresponds with the flow of an enterprise-wide business process.

24. Benefits Review • Accommodates future changes to business processes, new integration needs, new business partners • Accomplish business goals faster by dividing and conquering your server-side deployments. • Use a stable, standards-based, extensible infrastructure that allows developers to focus their expertise on solving unique business problems and creating innovative new applications. • Superior to the costly prospect of writing an entire solution in-house or purchasing an off-the-shelf product that is not extensible for future needs.

25. Conclusion Application Integration Framework • provides a fully extensible enterprise platform • built on standards • based on workflow technology • allow the business logic exposed by adapters to be tied together into a cohesive, end-to-end transaction flow
