8. “The elevator pitch”
 “SOA is simply good design”
– Systems of integration mediate between systems of engagement and systems of record
– SOA underpins Mobile, Social, Cloud and Big Data
 Integration Bus
– Integration needs to mix and match different integration patterns, including all of SOA, messaging
and events
 Gateway
– The gateway sits at the boundary of what you can control and what you cannot control
– Mobile and API management capabilities are key components of a gateway
 Lifecycle Management
– Governance and management come together synergistically in Lifecycle Management
– Creating is easy, managing change is hard, a shared registry is a “must have”
 Cloud (“XX as a service”)
– “XX as a service” requires well defined interfaces for provisioning, management etc.

Technology Drivers
Increasing Complexity / Yet More Consumable
 Data and data management

Fast Pace
 Evolving business eco-system
 Dynamic scalability
 Minimize time to value
Mobile - Social – Cloud –  Keeping pace with technology and globalization
Big Data / Analytics

10. Change, complexity and uncertainty have become opportunities for
businesses to innovate, transform and grow in new ways
10

11. Great…but what is SOA?
A Service
Service Orientation
A repeatable
business task – A way of thinking about
e.g., check customer your business through
credit; open new linked services and the
account outcomes that they
bring
Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA)
An business-centric architectural
approach based on service
oriented principles
11
11

12. “Simply good design” principles
• Service orientation at the core
• Process integrity at internet scale
• Integration with enterprise capabilities
and back-end systems
• Based on industry standards
• Leveraging and extending open source
technologies
• Providing the platform for a growing
ecosystem
“The beauty of SOA…is that we can change our components as needed, seamlessly…it
might be a business process or a whole new business model.”
-Phil Mumford, CEO, Queensland Motorways
“Make SOA a prerequisite architecture. It's time to breathe new life into your SOA
initiative, this time by focusing on architecture instead of technology.”
-Gartner Application and Integration Platforms Key Initiative Overview July 22, 2011

13. SOA mediates between consumers and providers (ESB pattern)
Cloud
APIs Services
Partners Suppliers
Apps Patterns
 2005: Connecting and mediating in an IT
transactional context
 2010: Connecting and mediating e2e processes
 2015: Connecting and mediating people,
Customers devices, Cloud, ….
Developers

18. Example: The Basics Of an Web API
What is an Web API?
 An web API is a public persona for an enterprise; exposing defined assets,
data or services for public consumption
 An web API is simple for app developers to use, access and understand
 An web API can be easily invoked via a browser, mobile device, etc.
What Value Does an Web API Provide?
 Extends an enterprise and opens new markets by allowing external app
developers to easily leverage, publicize and/or aggregate a company’s
assets for broad-based consumption
What “assets, data or services”
are exposed via an Web API?:
 Product catalogs
 Phone listings
 Insurance cases
 Order status
 Bank loan rates

19. IBM’s Current SOA Governance Capabilities
 Best SOA Governance Planning methodology (SOA
Governance and Management Method)
 Support for service lifecycle management - WSRR (&
RAM), CCMDB
–Codification of best practices in the product allow clients to leverage
governance processes, roles, policies and checkpoints
–Ability to instantiate immediately out of the box
–Fully configurable to individual customer requirements
–Integrates design time and run time service governance
–Impact Analysis, comprehensive runtime metadata capabilities,
policy authoring & management
 Support for runtime policy – ITCAM, DataPower,
Message Broker
–Example: SLA policy support for DataPower (current), Message
Broker (future) with enforcement, throttling and reporting
–Delivered (recently) as expert integrated patterns
 Building an API Management solution
–A key capability as enterprises externally expose APIs in a multi-
tenant, governed environment

Simple SOA – Managing Change
Registry is the authoritative source for policies and assets
Changes are important objects that need to
be lifecycle-managed and in turn drive
resource and policy lifecycles in a coherent
fashion APP APP
From a user perspective changes are APP
managed in one place and governed in one
place

Simple SOA – Application Patterns
Registry is the authoritative source for services composed in patterns
Virtual Application
Patterns
encompass JEE,
integration, and
other application APP APP

23. Five basic tasks (partially) supported by a registry
• Discover
–Finding existing assets that can be reused or need to be controlled
–Registry is the authoritative source for metadata about the discovered artifacts
• Compose
–Create solutions based on reusable assets
–Registry is the authoritative source of metadata for assets available
• Deploy
–The action of deploying or promoting a solution
–Registry is the authoritative source for deployment state of solutions and solution components as
well as policies on how and where to deploy
• Change (control)
–Changing behavior of the deployed solution without having to re-deploy
–Registry is the authoritative source of metadata influencing runtime behavior, typically in the form of
operational policies
• Monitor
–Operationally monitoring solutions at runtime
–Registry is the authoritative source for resources (e.g. services and policies) shown in dashboards,
used for analytics etc. Note that while the registry maintains the topological state of resources (aka
where they are deployed/active), it does not record monitored operational state
