Business Moving Forward

• The Agility TransformationFrom Reactive to
  Proactive
• Reactive Business
• Business processes are derived from paper
  processes
• Decision making is based on historical
  information
• Legacy architectures are difficult to adapt to
  change
• Proactive Business
• Business processes are modeled from the business
  directly
• Information is based on current and at-the-moment
  events
• Change is accepted as a part of the business model

Business Agility

• The Challenges for Business Agility and
• the Proactive Business
• Re-evaluation of business processes
• Are they as effective as they can be?
• Are there gains by connecting business processes
  across or outside the enterprise?
• Inventory of existing IT assets
• What can be used/reused?
• What new services need to be developed?
• Alignment of Business and IT
• Can they work together to build the agile
  business?

An Easier Definition
11
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
A service-oriented architecture is a collection
of services that communicate with each other. The
services are self-contained, can be distributed,
use standards-based interfaces, and are
application building blocks.
12
Is SOA A New Platform?

• SOA is not a Platform

A heterogeneous IT world requires existing
systems to interoperate.
the nature of SOA is cross-platform
13
Key SOA Challenges

• SOA interoperability requires connection
  andsemantic alignment for both services and
  data

these SOA challenges play to Progress strengths
14
Meeting the SOA ChallengeInteroperability
SOA interoperability requires connection
andsemantic alignment for both services and
data

• Services Interoperability
• Sonic ESB connects distributed, heterogeneous
  services securely and reliably
• Sonic ESB connects distributed, heterogeneous
  services securely and reliably
• Data Interoperability
• DataDirect drivers connect across all databases,
  and XQuery spans relational and XML data
• DataXtend Semantic Integrator aligns data through
  model-based transformations

15
Meeting the SOA ChallengeManagement
Managing services in a heterogeneous
worldrequires a truly distributed approach

• Actional SOA management
• Monitoring ensures the performance and
  availability across the entire SOA environment
• Active policy enforcement ensures compliance with
  security and regulatory policies
• Business process visibility enables dynamic
  optimization in a business context

16
Meeting the SOA ChallengeBuilding and Deploying
Services
Building and deploying services requires high
productivity tools for rapid creation and
composition

• OpenEdge for full business service development
  and delivery
• Most productive development environment
• Lowest TCO on deployment
• Full support for Web standards and Sonic ESB
• Sonic ESB for the creation and deployment of
  integration services
• Shadow for service interfaces to mainframe
  systems

17
Meeting the SOA ChallengeOperational
Intelligence
Operational intelligence requires monitoring
andacting on events in real time

• Apama Event Processing
• Infrastructure to monitor, analyze, and act on
  events with low latency
• The first and most proven Complex Event
  Processing (CEP) engine for real-time
  applications
• Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) dashboards
  provide real-time visibility into operational
  events
