SOA StrategySOA Strategy

SOA Integration Strategy This is a comprehensive strategy for defining thefuture direction on Application Integration addressing the key dimensions: people,process and technology.

People Creation of an SOA Integration Competency Center (ICC) Combine the existing integration groups Enterprise IntegrationServices

Process Engage in projects early in the process business case Formal project review of integration architecture

Technology Process (Messaging) Integration for near real-time integration Data Integration technologies for large data transfers or data aggregation Deploy an Enterprise Messaging Framework (Enterprise Service Bus)


6/18

Integration FrameworkThere are two types of integration that focus on different types ofrequirements and therefore offer distinct advantages when applied

appropriately.

Process IntegrationFocused on enabling real-time exchange of business informationacross multiple applications as part of a specific business process.

Web Services, along with an Enterprise Messaging Framework(EMF) facilitate this real-time integration in a secured and standards-based manner that yields greater usability and business agility.

Data IntegrationFocused on the movement of data elements from one data store toanother primarily to achieve data consolidation, aggregation,business analytics, and/or reporting.

Consider all future integration to leverage one of ITs managed platforms.

When capturing Integration Requirements, consider whether the integration isProcess or Data Oriented.

When you think of integration, think Enterprise Integration.

AMI Architectural PrinciplesAMI Architectural Principles

Alignment with Business Processes All of the architectural deliverableswill, in some form, align with the to-be business process definitions.

Interoperability - Solutions need to exist and provide interoperability within the

context of a larger portfolio of systems and technologies.

Information Security - Consider the security aspects of all solutions in thecontext of security standards, and potential vulnerabilities of any solution are

considered. This includes classifying and managing all data.

Integration - All integrations will be managed and leveraged an integrationenvironment.

System of Record - An application owner will be assigned to the maininformation components identified in the data architecture as a mechanism toresolve any conflicts as integrations between applications are deployed.

Enterprise InformationEnterprise Information

Management (EIM)Management (EIM)

A shared commitmentbetween business and IT to

invest and managedata/information as assets.

Establishment of agovernance body andprocesses to execute thecommitment.

Establishment of corecompetencies (resourcesand technologies) of EIM.

Affecting the outcomes ofmajor programs by adoptingEIM guiding principles andimplementing EIMrecommendations
