  1. Innovation, Insights, and Agility with IBM Mashup Center

  2. Agenda • Mashups 101 • IBM Mashup Center • How it works

  3. Where Did Mashups Originate? A (music) mashup is a song created from the combination of the music from one song with the a cappella from another.

  4. What is a Business Mashup? A “mashup” is a lightweight web application created by combining information or capabilities from more than one existing source to deliver new functions & insights. • Rapid creation (days not months) • Reuses existing capabilities, but delivers new functions + insights • Requires limited to no technical skills

  5. Mashups: Solving Pent up Demand for Applications Strategic, long-term apps (created by IT.) Business Challenges • Lack of agility – IT can’t respond fast enough to business requirements • Spreadsheet “apps” hard to manage, share, keep current • Silo-ed, outdated information Number of users per application IT Challenges Backlog of simple, tactical applications. • IT is backlogged and suffering from too many business requests • Underground or “shadow” IT • Security violations • Loss of information # of applications

  6. 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 (Java™, .NET, PHP, etc.) and can be as simple as an HTML fragment. • “Mashable” widgets pass events, so that they can be wired together to create something new.

  7. Mashups and Portal are complementary Mashup Center Portal Push out Feeds, Widgets, Mashups for additional IT control IT Department Line of Business • Create ad-hoc applications • Self-manage mashups (edit, delete) • Share mashups • Runs side-by-side with Portal, ensuring user-created apps don’t break mission-critical Portal applications • Advanced Composite applications • IT managed and controlled • Fine grained access control, policy management, federation, search, content management, rich personalization services, templates, virtualization, etc.

  8. When to use Portal and when to use Mashups? WebSphere Portal IBM Mashup Center • For strategic applications requiring IT management and construction • When rich application lifecycle needed (staging-> test -> production) • When highest levels of security required • For Server and Client Side Aggregation • Where governance is critical • For Flexible per Page Branding • Content and document management • Different views based upon roles or rules • Indexed by Internet Search Engines • Applications requiring workflow and/or many transactions • Lightweight situational or ad-hoc apps • Simple, tactical applications • Short-lived projects or tasks • Information remix to see new insight, iterate • When “good enough” is acceptable • For supporting self-service application creation • Applications for personal or team use • When self-management is acceptable

  9. Portal and Mashups- Real World Examples WebSphere Portal IBM Mashup Center • Internet, Extranet, Intranet, WebSites • Virtual Websites • Employee portals • Patient Portals • Ecommerce storefronts • HR Employee + Manager Self Service • Content-rich applications • eGovernment (e.g., citizen portals) • Travel booking, Online banking • Knowledge Management portal • Standards-based infrastructure and application framework • Etc. • Competitive Intelligence • Rapid Response • Rapid prototyping tool • Lightweight supply chain integration • Military intelligence • Banking or insurance risk exposure • IPO analyzer/Virtual Deal Room • Software bugs/issues mashup • Customer prospecting/Customer 360 Insight • Simple expertise locator • Trouble ticker tracker, Applicant tracker, Service locator • Etc.

  10. Agenda • Mashups 101 • IBM Mashup Center • How it works

  11. Create new applications by reusing existing data and services Unlock Enterprise, Web, Personal and Departmental Information Develop widgets from enterprise systems Discover and share mashups, widgets, feeds, and services Transform information into new feeds IBM Mashup Center A end to end mashup platform, supporting line of business assembly of simple, flexible, and dynamic web applications – with the management, security, and governance capabilities IT requires

  12. Quickly Create and Share New Mashups Zero-footprint, browser-based tool supports easy drag-and-drop assembly of situational applications by non-technical users. • Share – public or by user/group. • Automatic wiring • Embed • Edit Source • Customize look and feel Out-of-the-box, business-ready widgets. Intuitive, on-the-glass wiring of widgets & feeds. Ability to set widget preferences. And Much More!

  13. Rapidly Create Dynamic Widgets Easy-to-use, Eclipse-based IDE helps to reduce the time and cost of creating dynamic, interactive widgets. Using the tool’s wizard-based interface, developers of all skill levels can build powerful widgets– without coding!

  14. Easily Discover and Share Mashups, Widgets, & Feeds A single central catalog for feeds and widgets Secure and govern access and use Tagging and Rating promotes collaboration, re-use, and business self service Facilitate sharing & reuse through the catalog

  15. Quickly and Securely Unlock Enterprise Information Unlock Enterprise, Departmental, Web and Personal sources. Easily create custom adapters for unique needs or legacy systems Out-of-the-box Plug-ins to common information sources. Create new feeds in minutes Create mashable assets from structured and un-structured data sources

  16. Transform, Merge, Mix, and Utilize Information Mash multiple sources into net-new feeds Output in RSS, ATOM or XML based on consuming application or widget Fast and easy, but powerful, visual editor for precise control over information flows
