As Patterns Have Evolved, So Has IBM

Flexibility

Point-to-Point connection between applications

Simple, basic connectivity

Messaging Backbone

EAI connects applications via a centralized hub

Easier to manage larger number of connections

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)

Integration of services through an Enterprise Service Bus

Flexible connections with well defined, standards-based interfaces

Service Orientated Integration

SOA builds flexibility on your current investments The next stage of integration

WISD – Value to our customers

Improved information availability and consistency

Leverage existing investment in DataStage, QualityStage, and Federation Server

Enable data warehouse teams to be heroes - increase their business value to the organizationMove from simply reporting on the business to imbedding critical

information into business processes in support of strategic initiatives

Leverage investment in WebSphere and IBM SOA initiatives Information Server is now integrated with Process ServerSOMA now ties in Information Information Services Architecture Workshop (ISAW) helps them

understand, define, and model integration services

Reduce development costs through reuse of integration logic

Improve governance and control over data access and usage

WebSphere Process Server and Information Server

Information Server becomes a “first class citizen” in Business Process Modeling

Service discovery from within WebSphere development tools illustrates meta data strengths of Information Server

Seamless Process flows including Information Server are easily constructed and deployed No more spaghetti code for information integration inside Process Server

WebSphere Process Server sites are already “SOA-aware” Start talking to them about the data!

IBM Software Group

Summary: Information as a Service using WISD

Automatic deployment of DataStage, QualityStage, Federation/DB2 artifacts as reusable services

Services can be invoked in real-time from:

Remote platforms/applications

Java & .Net applications

Popular Application Servers

Business rules can be applied across batch and on-demand applications

Built-in load balancing and pooling strategy
