WEBINAR: Incorporating Existing Systems into a SOA
. . . . . . . . . . .
On Demand
Presenter: Jim Green, Chaiman & CEO, Composite Software
Enterprises are increasingly implementing service-oriented architecture (SOA) projects because of the greater agility, flexibility, and productivity that SOA brings to a business. However, as with any technology adoption, there are countless details that need to be overcome before the promise of SOA is realized. One of the most difficult challenges is incorporating legacy systems into the SOA environment without needing to change them.
In this Webcast you will learn:
- How IT can manage the delicate balance of retaining the power of existing data and systems while moving them over into the new world of SOA.
- How Data services, with the appropriate features, may serve as the answer to this question.
- Why Data services are an essential, but often least discussed, component of the equation that delivers the lifeblood of any organization-the data.
Presenters:
Claudia Imhoff, Ph.D., President, Intelligent Solutions
Peter Tran, Director of Marketing, Composite Software
Many industries are already reaping the benefits of operational business intelligence (BI). For example, on Wall Street, operational BI enables money managers to benefit from intra-day margin rates and thereby optimize their portfolio positions, and pharmaceutical scientists are using operational BI to accelerate the drug discovery process. Regardless of industry or business process, operational BI extends decision-making power to front-line workers and managers.
In this Web seminar, Claudia Imhoff, President and Founder of Intelligent Solutions, will share operational BI success stories from several key industries. She will also discuss the market trends and business challenges that are driving the need for this new style of business intelligence. Other key areas she will cover include:
- How operational BI complements traditional analytics
- What technology is required for a successful implementation
- How to begin an operational business intelligence initiative
