The document provides an overview of the LondonMet EII Project, which aims to improve information management at the university. It discusses problems with current information accessibility and management. The project uses Enterprise Information Integration (EII) to create a unified view of data across multiple systems. It has modeled various university systems, developed prototypes integrating these models and services, and is working on business modeling, application development, and governance policies. Outstanding issues include security, performance, inclusion of eLearning, and stakeholder approval for a staff portal.
As the need for "right-time" information becomes more prevalent, organizations are looking to new information delivery methods such as Enterprise Information Integration (EII). It's more than a distributed query, but where do vendors over-promise and under-deliver? This presentation will explain EII, how it's different from other integration technologies, and the underlying mechanisms. The goal is to outline areas where EII is a good fit and areas where other tools may be more appropriate.
Augmentation, Collaboration, Governance: Defining the Future of Self-Service BIDenodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3zVJRRf
According to Dresner Advisory’s 2020 Self-Service Business Intelligence Market Study, 62% of the responding organizations say self-service BI is critical for their business. If we look deeper into the need for today’s self-service BI, it’s beyond some Executives and Business Users being enabled by IT for self-service dashboarding or report generation. Predictive analytics, self-service data preparation, collaborative data exploration are all different facets of new generation self-service BI. While democratization of data for self-service BI holds many benefits, strict data governance becomes increasingly important alongside.
In this session we will discuss:
- The latest trends and scopes of self-service BI
- The role of logical data fabric in self-service BI
- How Denodo enables self-service BI for a wide range of users - Customer case study on self-service BI

SOA with Data Virtualization (session 4 from Packed Lunch Webinar Series)Denodo
A robust SOA infrastructure is the lifeblood to application and process integration within the organization. However, the SOA stack (ESB, BPM, CEP, and so on) has often not mixed well with the traditional data integration stack – in most cases, data integration has been the ‘poor cousin’ in this relationship. Data Virtualization allows you to easily and quickly create a virtual data services layer to integrate cleanly into your SOA infrastructure – and also support new initiatives, such as mobile and cloud applications

Enterprise Application Integration TechnologiesPeter R. Egli
Overview of Enterprise Application Integration Technologies.
Enterprise Application Integration, or EAI in short, aims at integrating different applications into an IT application landscape. Traditionally, EAI was understood as using the same communication infrastructure by all applications without service-orientation in mind. This meant that the benefits of a shared infrastructure were limited while driving up costs through additional integration platforms.
Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) brought a new paradigm by decomposing applications into reusable and shareable services. Service orientation requires careful design of services. A hierarchic scheme of services may help to define a suitable service decomposition.
While SOA is technically based on big web service technologies, namely SOAP, WSDL and BPEL, WOA or Web Oriented Architecture stands for the lightweight service paradigm. WOA makes use of REST-based technologies like JSON and HTTP.
In many cases, an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is used as an infrastructure element to achieve the technical integration of the services. The ESB core functions like message routing, filtering and transformation provide the mediation services required to integrate heterogeneous application landscapes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Contents
• so what’s the problem anyway?
• what is EII?
• how EII will solve the problem
• the LondonMet EII project
• some screen-shots and diagrams
• some outstanding issues
3. So what’s the problem anyway?
• information is not seen as a corporate asset
• information is frequently inaccessible
• information is not discoverable
• information is often incomplete
• information is sometimes out-of-date
• information is often duplicated but not synchronised
• information is poorly managed
• post merger, these issues have generally been exacerbated
4. What is EII?
• EII is Enterprise Information Integration
• EII is not Enterprise Application Integration
• has no connection with EIEIO (a farming-related acronym)
• EII is a relatively new paradigm, but maturing rapidly
• some definitions:
An integration technology that pulls and combines data from multiple systems “real
time”, without storing it on a disk (“on the fly” transformation), creating a “virtual” data
warehouse; eliminating the need to store or move data. [Informatica.com]
EII accepts the premise that enterprises have a variety of information sources and
information types, distributed geographically, and owned by different parts of the
enterprise. A basic tenet of EII is that information should be able to integrate
regardless of its native physical storage characteristics. [MetaMatrix.com]
5. How EII will solve the problem
• persuade stake-holders that the information they ‘control’
should be seen as a valued asset, owned by the University
• gradually model the information ‘owned’ by departments to
form a coherent view of the University’s information assets
• extend the information model with the association of business
meta-data
• introduce a centralised system of governance of policy
relating to information management
• begin to resolve information quality issues
• allow model-driven development of services
6. The LondonMet EII project
• Ambitious project to radically improve our management of
information (near end of first year of 5 year roadmap)
• start-up
• document scanning
• functional modelling & ‘virtual-database’ development
• service oriented architecture (SOA)
• business modelling (meta-data)
• application development (prototype staff portal)
• business intelligence (BI)
• policy governance
7. LondonMet EII project (start-up)
• so far:
• selected MetaMatrix as candidate EII solution
• identified skills shortfall
• employed consultants from Intelligent Solutions to develop the 5 year roadmap
• employed consultants to produce a proof-of-concept demonstration of modelling
& BI, using MetaMatrix and Business Objects
• used demo to secure senior management support & significant (internal)
funding - purchased MetaMatrix and Business Objects
• created project team with existing staff, trained to use MetaMatrix, and recruited
staff to ‘back-fill’ project team
• recruited professional information modeller
• next:
• show a fuller demonstration to the board of governors for them to approve
continuation of the project and further funding
8. LondonMet EII project (scanning)
• so far:
• selected Livelink to act as document repository
• created simple classification scheme in Livelink for testing & development
• secured support from academic registry and finance departments
• scanned sample (real) documents into Livelink for testing & development
• met with a Manchester University team who have a similar scanning project
• costed scanning hardware & software
• next:
• identify meta-data requirements
• design business classification scheme for scanned documents
• establish a scanning ‘bureau’ close to each student support/enrolment centre
• employ temp staff to scan thousands of documents
9. LondonMet EII project (functional model)
• so far:
• created models of the following (some models are cross-system):
• student records system (SITS)
• finance system (eFinancials)
• knowledge/document management system (Livelink)
• room-bookings & time-tabling system (CMIS)
• gate-access security system (PAT)
• next:
• create models of the following:
• human resources system (SAP)
• library system (Millennium)
• content management system (Shado)
• other smaller data-stores / network file-systems (shared drives etc.)?
• email system?
11. LondonMet EII project (SOA)
• so far:
• decided not to be too ambitious initially
• separated service functionality from application functionality
• developed a framework for core services such as logging, security, caching
• developed some read-only services based on ReST principles, which query the
EII models and respond with XML
• developed simple webapps and portlets which demonstrate the consumption of
these services
• next:
• create more services - adopt model-driven development approach
• create services which can write information as well as read
• probably introduce SOAP services to do this
• extend core services such as logging, audit trails, caching, service discovery,
service orchestration, business rules management etc.
13. LondonMet EII project (business model)
• so far:
• proven we can extend the functional models in MetaMatrix to accomodate a
business meta-data model of our own devising
• begun to explore how we can make the meta-data available to staff as a
catalogue or ‘information atlas’
• begun to evaluate approaches to business classification
• designed logical framework to handle user entitlements governing access to
information
• next:
• create an approved business meta-data model
• create a catalogue of information, showing sources, governance, services
provided to access the information etc.
• start to use this to address information quality issues
• use this to formalise model-driven development of services
• create framework of user-roles to manage user entitlements
14. LondonMet EII project (app development)
• so far:
• created a prototype staff portal to demonstrate capability
• portlets are light-weight GUIs and aggregate the EII query services in the SOA
• next:
• create specific standalone web-applications, based on the EII services, to cater
for immediate requirements
• create a real staff portal, based on user-requirements and officially sanctioned
rules governing information access
• create an interactive version of the business meta-data catalogue
18. LondonMet EII project (BI)
• so far:
• recently acquired Business Objects
• demonstrated that Business Objects can utilise MetaMatrix models
• identified some pressing BI requirements - e.g. discovering patterns of
information which are related to student-retention
• next:
• enhance existing management reporting services with this new approach
19. LondonMet EII project (governance)
• so far:
• demonstrated prototype staff portal to senior management team
• received acknowledgement from senior management team that EII requires
policy decisions in terms of priority of service development and control of
sourcing of, and access, to information
• senior management team have formed two committees to address these issues
• next:
• provide the necessary framework to allow the two senior committees to function
- e.g. information catalogue, framework of user roles etc.
• apply governance decisions to model development

22. Some outstanding issues
• security - need to convince network security manager that we
are not compromising systems
• performance - distributed architecture places greater load on
network
• no eLearning aspect to project - we are campaigning to get
this onto the agenda
• no access to HR system yet - may prove to be difficult for
political reasons
• portal cannot go live until all stake-holders are satisfied - likely
to release functionality in standalone applications until we
have a critical mass of approved content for a viable portal.
