Importance of integration

“ Firms are in dire need of the tools that will enable it to define the appropriate relationship, be it collaboration or contract commitment, with its trading partners.“

“ To achieve a network-wide collective response, firms need new tools that can help them orchestrate the actions within their enterprise and among trading partners to accurately share and respond to these signals.”

(1) Forrester April 2006 (1)

Integration projects are challenging

EDI does not meet complex requirements

Rigid structure evolving at a small pace

Business Process, BAM are not possible

Standards are focusing on XML.

No common standards for XML

Conflict not solved between industry and software vendors

Companies want to outsource specific part of their business

Gaps are found in today’s requirements

Vendors Solutions are focusing on technology implementation

EAI is addressing transport and infrastructure

ETL is focusing on low-end data integration

SOA is currently defining its technical stack.

And as a consequence costly….

Functional knowledge gap

Data architects are necessary to define/select data standards

Data architect and functional Analysts need to match project and long-term strategy

Functional Analysts rely on technology for implementation.

Technical knowledge gap

Development required on the full stack by technology experts

Bespoke development on >80% of projects

Heavy maintenance required for minor upgrades.

Integration challenges: standardization "For medium-to-large-sized organizations, unstructured, semi-structured and complex-structured data has become prevalent in … integration scenarios.” (source: Gartner) Semantics

Principles of semantics mapping Compliance officer Definition of compliance rules for each document Functional Analyst or data architect Linking of Business Terms and Keywords Functional Analyst or data architect Definition of catalogue’s keywords ; description of every data element necessary for the integration process Project member or Functional Analyst Definition of an integration project: Selection of source and target project, automatic generation of the transformation, test scripts. Profile Step Sequence Functional Analyst or data architect Discovery and assignation of Business Terms for each physical structures (database, files and documents) present in the application landscape Technical team Deployment in the runtime environment (One time) Functional Analyst or data architect Set-up of catalogue for each business process
