SOA Benefits Revisited
•Download as PPTX, PDF•
1 like•899 views
This document discusses how adopting a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach can help organizations respond to economic pressures. While SOA is often touted for cost and efficiency benefits, these are not always realized. To be effective during downturns, SOA requires a balanced approach that streamlines application development and maintenance, enhances business visibility and responsiveness, and drives process automation and optimization, rather than just focusing on cost cutting. The document provides advice on taking a strategic yet tactical approach to SOA adoption by beginning with real project requirements, reviewing existing initiatives, managing expectations, and ensuring business impact is considered.

Six principles of The Technology Garden
This presentation introduces the 6 principles documented in the book The Technology Garden, which presents how to deliver enterprise IT sustainably and with maximum business value.
Develop erp operation strategy
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) exists in every enterprise. It is often a low priority for IT managers until changes to the business make a very real, and very expensive, project. The real cost of a failed ERP initiative is IT careers. ERP is always challenging, so IT leaders must determine which of three strategies are most appropriate:
•Stick. Maintain the existing system and establish a date to revisit the strategy.
•Augment. Stay on the existing ERP platform, but augment with additional modules, custom development, or bolt-ons.
•Rip & Replace. Initiate the move to a new ERP system.
The best way to develop an ERP plan is through an annual audit that assesses the priorities of the enterprise and capabilities of the existing ERP platform. Use this storyboard and associated tools to get your ERP strategy on the right track.

It summarizes the current decentralized IT environment, lack of standards, and security risks. The proposed model shifts to a coordinated operating model with shared solutions and standardized technology. Key elements include a technology board to prioritize projects, an architecture team to define standards, and a project success center to ensure project delivery and benefits realization. The goals are improved efficiency, cost savings, security, and reduced duplication through greater coordination and data sharing across agencies.
The honest truth about getting value from IT
Improving Business Performance is Enterprise Architecture's value proposition. By helping the enterprise facilitate strategic planning, address executive priorities, deliver customer value, leverage investments in major initiatives and deploy horizontal solutions across business units.
Business Enterprise Architecture is the best way to create agility, align IT with the business, and establish the governance that keeps the business focused on the business strategy. It aligns strategic goals and objectives with decisions regarding products and services; business partners; organisation structure; business capabilities; and key initiatives. The Business Architecture is captured in 5 models. The business strategy, organisation, capability, value stream, and knowledge to produce the business operating model(s) – the language of the business.
A foundation for alignment:
This summary addresses complex, and often far-reaching business and IT challenges.
1. Identify and list the top business priorities and issues for the organisation, focusing on shared horizontal or cross business unit challenges.
2. Consolidate business-unit objectives into a common vision statement.
3. Establish a business architecture that your company can use to determine the exact impact points and investment ramifications of misalignment from a business perspective.
4. Map these business objectives to clear, well-articulated business views defined within the business architecture.
5. Identify major IT architecture weaknesses and issues that prevent critical business priorities from being addressed, in reference to the business architecture.
6. Determine IT architecture impacts and impediments of achieving these business objectives.
7. Draft a plan for addressing these issues from a systematic, long-term transformation perspective.

Introduction to Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise architecture is a discipline for proactively managing organizational change and complexity by aligning business strategy, goals, and processes with information technology solutions. It provides a framework for governing technology decisions and guiding the organization from its current to future state. Benefits include improved business-IT alignment, increased agility, standardization, and cost savings. Enterprise architecture frameworks like TOGAF provide common vocabulary, models, and processes to develop the current and target architecture states and transition plans.
It governance 13 may20102
The document discusses IT governance, which involves processes that ensure effective and efficient use of IT to help an organization achieve its goals. IT governance addresses demand governance, which involves determining what IT should work on and where resources should be invested, and supply governance, which involves how IT should deliver what the business needs. Effective IT governance models must address what IT decisions need to be made, who should make them, and how they will be made and monitored.
Strategy Execution Officer
The CIO is taking on the role of defining, designing, and implementing enterprise IT and processes in most organizations. This shifts IT from an enabling function to a leadership role. As part of this role, the CIO establishes priorities for enterprise change projects based on organizational readiness, contribution to platforms, ability to leverage platforms, and expected benefits. The CIO also provides oversight and support for project methodology, change management, and ensures value is derived from platforms.
How to select A good itsm tool

Enterprise Architecture Value Creation - Kevin Govender - Transnet
Transnet is the largest and most crucial part of the freight logistics chain that delivers goods to each and every South African. Every day Transnet delivers thousands of tons of goods around South Africa, through its pipelines and both to and from its ports. It moves that cargo on to ships for export while it unloads goods from overseas.
In this presentation, Kevin Govender, Group Chief Enterprise Architect at Transnet, in Johannesburg, South Africa, shares the approach that Transnet uses to create business value through an ARIS based Enterprise Architecture Solution. Kevin shares that creating value through Enterprise Architecture involves planning and monitoring the performance of IT support of the business, throughout its entire lifecycle – ensuring that business strategy and demands are completely understood, prioritized and executed on and that the costs, quality and risks to IT support are known and considered during decision making.
This presentation was a keynote address at Software AG's 2014 Innovation Forum, held in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Approach To It Strategy And Architecture
The document discusses an approach to IT strategy and architecture that aligns business and IT to enable organizations to adapt to constant change. It presents a framework with four views: business, functional, technical, and implementation. The business view defines goals and drivers. The functional view describes how the solution will be used. The technical view specifies how the system will be built. The implementation view details how the solution will be delivered. It advocates for stakeholder participation and using principles, models, and standards across the views.
Capability Modeling
The promises of Service Oriented Enterprise Architecture include greater business agility, improved application integration at reduced cost, and the holy grail of aligning IT initiatives with business objectives. Achieving these goals requires organizations to approach SOA from an Enterprise Architecture perspective. Although existing EA processes and tools can be adapted to facilitate SOA, a new approach is gaining wider acceptance as being especially suited to this task.
Capability Modeling focuses on the things that business units can do instead of how they do them. There is a direct corollary to the best practices of service design, where the focus of analysis is on what a service does instead of how it is implemented. Business Capabilities can be described in terms that the business is familiar with, and then mapped directly to services implemented by systems supported by the IT organization.
This presentation covers the basics of Capability Modeling and how this important technique can be used by Enterprise Architects to facilitate an SOA adoption program.

Big data and analytics
Big Data, Analytics and the Future of Data Centres
Where are we and where are we going?
VMUG Meeting, Manchester February 12, 2013
Big Data in Context
The document discusses the challenges of managing large, diverse data sources known as "Big Data". It notes that while data volumes are growing, not all data has high value. It also outlines the emerging ecosystem of tools for distributed storage, analytics and search that are helping organizations extract value from both structured and unstructured data sources. The document concludes that both traditional and new approaches to data management and analytics have important roles to play as organizations tackle new data-driven challenges.
The consumerisation of IT (11 oct 2011)
The document discusses consumerization of IT, which refers to employees using their personal devices and internet services for work purposes. It summarizes research from a survey of 1,600 IT professionals on consumerization trends. Key findings include that about half of organizations now encourage, accept, or tolerate the use of personal equipment for work. The majority of employees, around 85%, are estimated to be using their own devices for work activities. Senior managers and executives are often early adopters. Personal smartphones, notebooks, and tablets are commonly used both officially and unofficially. Potential benefits discussed include improved productivity and job satisfaction.
A view from above the clouds (14 Oct 2011)
Dale Vile, CEO of Freeform Dynamics Ltd, gave a presentation on cloud computing trends and perspectives. He discussed how cloud computing has evolved from hype to emerging clarity, with confusion persisting over definitions. Vile outlined different views of cloud, including technology vs services and the service stack. He noted that cloud will have a significant impact on IT delivery and management, but that a hybrid model is emerging. Looking ahead, Vile argued organizations should focus on business services rather than aiming to "move to the cloud," and that cloud represents a shift to a service-centric view of IT.
Bcs consumerisation
The document discusses the "consumerisation of IT" where trends and technologies originating from consumer markets are increasingly being used in business settings. This is driven by factors like improved mobile devices, cloud services, and changing user expectations of consumer technologies in their personal and professional lives. While this poses risks to corporate IT like security and manageability issues, it also presents opportunities if IT can understand and adapt to these trends rather than fight them. The document provides examples of consumer technologies entering businesses and survey results on the extent companies are seeing this occur independently of IT strategy. It also outlines a balancing act for IT in addressing concerns while embracing opportunities and tips for policies, processes and skills to help manage the consumerisation of IT.
Cloud computing in context
- The document discusses cloud computing and provides perspectives from IT professionals on what qualifies as cloud computing. It addresses different cloud models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
- Survey results show that IT professionals view hosted services as legitimate examples of cloud computing, rather than just the enabling technology. Factors like elastic scaling of resources and pay-per-use models are also seen as important.
- There is no single definition and different workloads may be suited to different deployment models between on-premise, hosted, dedicated, or shared/dynamic environments. The key is understanding individual requirements.

Enterprise Mobility Strategy
The document discusses the need for enterprises to have a mobile strategy to address the growing use of mobility in businesses. It outlines four grades of enterprise mobile strategies that most companies currently sit at and discusses the challenges of a piecemeal approach that results in isolated "wireless islands". An effective enterprise mobility strategy needs to go beyond just mobile and should include assessing current networks and devices, user access needs, security requirements, cost minimization, and future proofing to account for new technologies and partner strategies.
Service Management 2009
- Infrastructure management is facing challenges in keeping up with user expectations of 24/7 availability as well as new technologies like virtualization.
- There is a growing need for sophisticated IT service management solutions to handle asset/change management, service level monitoring, root cause analysis, and reporting to both support processes and demonstrate business value.
- While systems management tools are developing rapidly to address these needs, effective implementation of the new solutions also requires advancement of support processes.

Optimising The Use Of IT
The document discusses ways for companies to optimize their use of IT during an economic downturn. It recommends 3 ways to optimize the IT infrastructure, 3 ways to optimize how IT is used in the business, and 3 ways to enable the business to be more efficient. Some specific recommendations include server virtualization, desktop management, systems management, application training, mobile access, unified communications, and making smarter use of data through business intelligence. The overall message is that during tough economic times, companies should take a balanced approach to IT and focus on using IT to help drive revenue and business objectives.
Intelligent BI
The document discusses key stakeholders in financial services and the challenges they face regarding availability of management and performance information. It also discusses trends around empowering employees and shifting to broader, more continuous information delivery. Common challenges included fragmentation of systems and a lack of structured and inclusive approaches to meeting information needs.
Green - The Reader Perspective
The document discusses a survey of organizations and their commitment to green IT initiatives to reduce power consumption and environmental impact. The survey found that larger organizations have broader green policies and are further along in implementing initiatives. Respondents believe that reducing power consumption and enabling more efficient business operations through IT are important goals. However, many organizations do not accurately track or measure IT power usage at a granular level, which could help identify opportunities to minimize power consumption through solutions like server virtualization and desktop power management features. Overall green considerations are still not a prominent part of IT strategies for many organizations.
IT's role in enterprise power management
David Tebbutt discusses the context for, and the central role of, IT in an organisation's power management. He takes the listener from sustainability, through the link between climate change and energy use, all the time stressing the cost benefits of taking action. The presentation includes quick IT-powered wins for the enterprise, quick wins for IT itself and finishes with longer term suggestions which can deliver even bigger savings.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
