3. What is a Mashup? Info Server JDBC DB IMS Web services Web Portal/portlets Google Gadgets A “mashup” is a lightweight web application created by combining information or capabilities from more than one existing source to deliver new functions & insights. Mashup • Rapid creation (days not months) • Reuses existing capabilities, but delivers new functions + insights • Requires less technical skills • Often mixes internal and external sources Web Platforms Domino WAS Enterprise Information Enterprise Applications MQSeries <WSDL> MQ Quickr Connections Commerce Legacy ERP CRM ECM

4. What is a Widget? • A widget is a small application or piece of dynamic content that can be easily placed into a web page • Widgets are called different names by different vendors: gadgets, blocks, flakes • Widgets can be written in any language or and can be simply HTML • “Mashable” widgets pass events, so that they can be wired together to create something new 4

5. Speeding Development – The Mashup Creation Process Develop & Unlock Assemble Discover Transform Reuse existing assets in new combinations 5

6. Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Care About Mashups! • Reduce project uncertainty, helping to compress project timelines • Speed application delivery thru a virtuous cycle of reuse • Lower backlog via self-service development • Agility to quickly assemble applications for new situations • Gain valuable insights through information remix • Innovate and create value through community contribution • Get results faster by accessing information in place • Save time and money by leveraging 3rd party services. • Better align IT and business through rapid prototyping • Extend reach and value of SOA – Achieve the “Last Mile” of SOA

7. What about leveraging an agile “design to delivery” paradigm…? Test/ Doc Customer/ Line of Business Developers (1 to few) Customer/ Line of Business Days Average 3 weeks 1- Reduce Project Uncertainty, Compressing Timelines Rather than…. PM/ Analyst Test/ Doc Architect Development Customer/ Line of Business Customer/ Line of Business Many Months • Reduce project variability • Speed delivery • Allow for instant feedback from business

8. Discover assets needed in catalog High Level Mashup Development Process Contribute assets back to community 2- Speed Application Delivery thru a Virtuous Cycle of Reuse Reuse + Sharing = Speed • Improve ROI through reuse of existing assets to meet new needs • Any new reusable asset (mashup, widget, feed) can be contributed back to the community catalog • Building one mashup makes building the next mashup even faster • Shorter time to value • Faster development Create missing components

9. 2- Real ROI, Real Fast Example- Large Financial Institution • Use Case: Next-generation customer engagement / transactional site • Information Sources: Mix of internal and external sources, mix of database, web services, ECM content • Initial Scoping Estimate / Conventional Approach: 54,000 man hours • Agile / Mashup Approach: 25-30,000 hours • First Year Hard Cost Savings (using 30k hours) = $2,735,000 • First Year ROI (using 30k hours) = 710%

10. 3- Lower Backlog Via Self-Service Development Challenges: Strategic, long-term apps (created by IT.) • IT is resource constrained, new business requests create a backlog • Too expensive to use traditional skills/ processes for applications “in the long tail” • Business users go around IT – creating more problems (e.g., Excel sprawl) • IT creates catalog of assets and provides code-free assembly tools to line of business • Business users can create and share their own tailored applications for personal or team use – without IT intervention • IT can focus on more strategic applications Skills & Cost Gap Number of users per application Solution: “Do it yourself” IT Backlog of tactical applications. # of applications

11. Boeing Air Traffic Management 4- Agility To Quickly Assemble Apps For New Situations Example: Boeing – Usable Airport Search Mashup • The NEO Demo is a spiral demonstration of NextGen Aviation capabilities. It demonstrates functional improvements made possible when information is widely available across agencies (FAA, DoD, DHS, NASA). • Boeing saw a need for authorities to use existing data and systems to react to unexpected events and develop new capabilities. During Hurricane Katrina authorities could not quickly use existing systems to find airports that were opened and had runways with enough capacity to land transport planes carrying relief supplies. • Within three weeks Boeing and IBM had deployed mashup capability using IBM’s Mashup Center. Boeing successfully demonstrated the capability to FAA, DoD, DHS. Samet M. Ayhan, Boeing: “The IBM Mashup tool offers a new approach for quick web application development, where disparate data sources can be fused on a single environment with reusable components in order to make better decisions.“

12. 5- Gain Valuable Insights Through Information Remix Challenge: Silo-ed, outdated, inaccessible data Solution: Mashups turn data into usable information that is easy to remix, providing users with new insights and greater business context.

32. Major Challenge – Security and Governance “I am worried about security with mashups – specifically unauthorized users accessing back end systems through feeds or mashups.” “How do I track and manage the load and usage for each of my feeds?” “How do I ensure that our sensitive information (e.g., social security number) is not displayed in a mashup or feed?” “What if a business user brings in a ‘rogue’ widget from an external site? The widget could steal sensitive data!” “How do I apply the right levels of control – without stymieing innovation.” “I am worried that exposing information from my enterprise systems as “mashable” feeds will result in unpredictable loads and thus poor performance for the everyday users of those enterprise systems . We must always meet our Service Level Agreements (SLAs).” 32

33. Mashup Center Provides Key Security & Governance Features • Secure access via authorization, authentication • Create secure Mashups with OpenAjax Alliance Hub v2.0. • Preserve Service Level Agreements (SLAs) • Provide rate limiting policies per feed • Protect back-end enterprise resources from unpredictable loads • Protect back-end enterprise resources from unauthorized clients and denial-of-service attacks • IP block: Restricts access to certain client IPs • Filter and mask sensitive information and restricted data • Apply masking policies, which search for patterns in feeds and mask them, thereby stopping exposure of sensitive data to the outside world • Report on policy and usage metrics • View statistics for each feed, including rate limiting errors and policy failures, requests/min, bytes transferred

34. Additional Challenges • Cultural issues with self-service development • Skeptics of end user development • Will IT allow mashups? • ‘Millennials’ coming into the workforce will demand this capability • Intellectual property and policy issues • Challenge for companies providing widgets – how to manage, monitor, monetize? How do you retain intellectual property? • Challenge for companies consuming widgets – how to ensure use of external data/widgets does not infringe on the license of the data/widget provider? • Set policies • Utilize catalogs to post ‘IT approved’ widgets and feeds. • Document rules + procedures. Educate.
