What is Web 2.0?

An important trend in delivering software applications

An Enabler for richer web applicationsNew business modelsPeer-to-peer user participationNew technologies Interactive filtering, presentation, data entry

A combination of core technology componentsRich user experience (maps, grids, animation, D&D, etc)Loose-coupling, composite applications via reuse and “mash-ups”Standards (SOAP, REST, JSON, Atom, etc)

Enterprise Web 2.0 Business Scenarios

Improve access to information for Customer Relationship ManagementImprove information and reporting for financial analystsInsurance policy / risk / claims assessment (Insurance)Exposure of business events from operational systems (Banking)Provide wealth-management staff with dashboard of client portfolio (Banking)Improve visualisation of complex data (Petrochemical, Life Sciences)Stimulate product and service innovation with partners (Finance, Telecommunications, Travel)Exploit regulation and compliance information (Medical, Finance, Utilities, Pharmaceutical)Marketing to individuals by engaging consumers through social networking (Retail, Banking)Improve buying experience through rich media online shopping (Retail)Aggregation of legacy interfaces

New opportunities forvalue creation are

emerging based oninnovative

technologies such asWeb 2.0, social

computing, virtualworlds, and more

Web2.0 sounds pretty good, eh? But…it is hard!

Developers must learn numerous different technologies

Cross-platform programming require totally different skills

Must keep up with constantly changing Web 2.0 technologies

Open and Extensible

Plans for open implementationAllow third parties to extend EGL, develop their own version

Use available frameworks/runtimesWebSphere, i5OS, Tomcat, IASJ2EE, JSF, TUI, BIRT, etc

UI Libraries at the EGL CaféDownload third-party librariesWrite your own and upload them Import into the visual editor palette

Totally based on Web StandardsREST, SOAP, JSON, OpenAjax, dojo, etc
