Deliver high performance integration
software for mission critical applications
Make heterogeneity an asset, not a liability
Deliver on the value proposition of standards
Software is a craft industry
Relying on the skills of
individuals
Creating applications
one by one
Stitching integration
solutions by hand
Labor the biggest cost
Software needs mass production
How can this be accomplished?
Very simple answer but
The industry has been trying unsuccessfully for years
[The answer is standardization]
Standard
Application
Programming
Interface
[WSDL]
Application Service
Standard
Network
Interconnect
Protocol
[SOAP]
Underlying Platform
Network
Learning from the Success of the Web
Human to computer
interactions resolved
Standards in place for
programming (HTML) and
interoperability (HTTP)
Highly productive, low cost
Software added at the
network endpoints
Web of Services Not Yet Complete
CICS
IMS
C, C++, COBOL, PL/I, Java, C#
Industry and business
requirements not yet
met
What needs to happen
to make this a reality?
How can we apply
lessons from the Web?
To improve software
inside the company or
between companies
Pioneer of SOA
1500 services in
production
100,000+ users
1B txns/year, 5M/day
73% cost reduction for
systems development and
integration
Reuse of 70% of services
Secure / Reliable
Proves it works
SOA Is Technology Neutral
Home Grown
MQSeries
Architecting SOA has historically meant trade-offs
•
CORBA – Well defined contracts, Auto-generate proxies/skeletons, Multilanguage bindings, Open standard, Enterprise QoS out of the box, CORBA
required at both ends
•
MQ – Low coupling, Enterprise QoS, Not designed as a service platform,
Proprietary
•
J2EE – No contract language, Uni-lingual, Open standard, Enterprise QoS,
Large developer community, Java required at both ends
•
HomeGrown – “Have it your way”, Ranges from Useless to Comprehensive,
Always expensive
Web services and SOA Infrastructure have emerged
to address these issues
WSDL as the Unifying Standard
Extensibility
Handles Both Internet and
Existing Networks
Strong Developer Interest /
Multi-vendor support
Designed for multi protocol,
multi data
WSDL

Home Grown
MQSeries
Add services to the endpoints
Where applications
need to share data
Use service enablement
Reuse existing data
formats and
communication
protocols
Then bridge qualities of
service:
CICS
IMS
Security
Transactions
Reliability
Availability
Endpoint Oriented Infrastructure
Standardize on
Service Interactions
Lower cost of entry
Faster time to ROI
Adaptable
infrastructure
Fully Distributed
Architecture
Services reside within
applications
Endpoints are
configurable
Endpoints are dynamic

Leave and Layer Existing Applications
Leave existing assets in place and include them as part of a SOA
Eliminates the disruption and upfront costs
Allows organizations to move forward and benefit from the
