  1. SOA-08 Real Life Web Services Drew McCarthy, Principal Product Manager Jay Dennis, VP R&D, gomembers Allan Green, VP CTO, NeoSynergy

  2. Agenda • Introduction • Where are Web services going? • Why Web Services? • Case #1 – Allan Green, VP Chief Technology Officer, NeoSynergy • Case #2 - Jay Dennis, VP Research and Development, gomembers • Wrap-up SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  3. Introduction • In today’s talk you should learn a bit about: • What the analysts are saying • Where Web services are being used • How your peers are using Web services • What you might do with Web services • Time for a quick poll. SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  4. App Trends- What the Analysts Are Saying? In by 2010 Out by 2007 Source: Dave Mitchell Smith, Gartner SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  5. Where Are Web Services Being Used? A Gartner survey • 63% of Web services solutions are used for intra-company integration • Average payback for a Web services solution in a business application project = 16 months • 68% of Web services engagements involve less than 10 Web services • 31% of Web services engagements involve 10 to 100 Web services SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  6. Web Services Will Grow Gartner predicts: • Revenue for Web services-enabled software and professional services will grow from $61 billion in 2003 to $316 billion in 2007 (0.7 probability) • 41 percent of business software purchased in 2007 will be Web services-enabled (0.8 probability) • Services will grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 61 percent over the next four years (0.8 probability) SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  7. Web Services in OpenEdge™ 10 • Applications on OpenEdge 10 can both host and call Web services. • Logic on the Application Server can be offered as a Web service • 4GL clients can call out to a Web service SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  8. OpenEdge 10 - based on Open Client technology Web Services Enabled Application Server Web Server/JSE POST(Soap) HTTP Listener Web Services Adapter Response(Soap) AppServer ubroker.properties Web Service Client BusinessLogic WSAD WSDL SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  9. OpenEdge 10 - identical to calling an Application Server procedure Accessing a Web Service From the Progress 4GL WSDL POST(Soap) 4GL Application SOAP Processor HTTP Transport OpenEdge Client Web Service Response(Soap) hdl:CONNECT(“-wsdl http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl”) SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  10. A Quote “I am actually very impressed with the way in which Progress has implemented Web Services in the development environment. We as a company had no experience at all in this arena, and Progress certainly made it a very simple task to expose our application to Web Services. .” Allan Green,NeoSynergy SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  11. Case #1 • Allan Green, VP Chief Technology Officer, NeoSynergy SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  12. Web Services Outline • Introduction to NeoSynergy • Business Drivers • Technology Alternatives Considered • Architecture & Technical Considerations • Benefits & Lessons Learned SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  13. Darwin XE Application • Complete Dealer Management System (DMS) including financials, parts and vehicle inventory, service costing and embedded CRM • Numerous integration points into the OEM’s and other 3rd parties using Sonic • B2B and B2C applications for wholesale parts ordering and vehicle sales on the internet SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  14. The Business Problem We Faced • Existing application used WebClient™ and AppServer™ (18 months development). • Move functionality from the dealership showroom to the internet • Develop and deploy a complex application • Consumer could purchase a vehicle entirely on the internet. • Very stringent business rules. SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  15. The Business Problem We Faced • Allow 3rd party web sites that do vehicle sales access to our application • Integrate 3rd party payroll module • Solve asynchronous integration issues with our Sonic application • Access 3rd Party Data suppliers. • VIN decoding and vehicle options • Used car valuations SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  16. Architecture and Technology • Used ProxyGen to expose AppServer procedures as Web Services • Extract live vehicle data • Process consumer offers and counter offers • Finalize the deal • Other Web services from within the 4GL • Validate address information • Process credit card payments SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  17. Architecture and Technology • Exposed other procedures as a Web Service to Sonic • process inbound messages from integration partners • parts order and warranty claim • Exposed the General Ledger update routines to Payroll On-Line for payroll integration • Use other Web Services from within the 4GL • extended VIN decoding and Vehicle options (Jato Data and Chrome) • used car valuations (NADA) SOA-08, Real Life Web Services

  18. Benefits and Lessons Learned • We worked on the assumption that Progress would deliver what they said they would with Web Services, and everything just fell into place when they did • With the new applications our customers are deriving benefits from areas they never thought possible SOA-08, Real Life Web Services
