Hot Technologies with Krish Krishnan, Robin Bloor and EnterpriseWeb
Live Webcast Aug. 21, 2013
The demand for agility continues to motivate today's data-driven organizations. Competitors all over the globe are vying for faster time-to-insight, or even time-to-action. But there are other issues like governance and data quality that typically slow down key processes. Almost invariably, legacy systems that perform critical business processes are late to the party, resulting in enterprise inertia. However, a new wave of innovation is solving that problem by incorporating a late-binding approach for both analytics and operations.
Register for this episode of Hot Technologies to hear Analysts Krish Krishnan of Sixth Sense, and Dr. Robin Bloor of The Bloor Group, as they outline their competing visions for the architecture of a real-time enterprise. They'll be briefed by Dave Duggal of EnterpriseWeb, who will tout his company's platform for delivering robust enterprise functionality at the speed of the network. He'll discuss how EnterpriseWeb leverages the best ideas of service orientation, combined with intelligent agents that act as virtual hubs for the sharing of data, analytics, and mission-critical business processes.

THE
LINE
UP
8. +
State of Enterprise Today
n Multiple producers and consumers need to share data in a
collaborative decision support and application environment
n Tight coupling of information management and decision
support hampers innovation
n Market opportunity to embrace newer technologies like
cloud and dynamic application interfaces not successful due
to inherent design and deployment issues.
n Proliferation of different data models (XML schemas) in the
enterprise
n No consistent semantics across the Enterprise
9. +
Demand of the Market
n Agile Enterprise
n Innovation – A Core Skill
n Flexible and Adaptive Architecture
n Robust Security – User and Data
n Inter-Operability – Cloud and On-Premise Ready
n API – Application Platform Interface
n Plug and Play Deployment
10. +
Defining The Next Generation
n The application platform for the next generation enterprise
n Will be cloud driven
n Will be based on platforms like REST API
n Will be late binding models allowing for greatest amount of
architecture flexibility
n Will be ready for plug and play deployments
n Will be applicable across desktop, tablets and mobile
environments
n Will not carry data until the application is used
12. +
Benefits of a New Strategy
o Strategic Initiatives
o Operating Model
o Enterprise Architecture
o Engagement Model
o Foundation for execution
n The IT infrastructure and digitized
business processes automating a
company’s core capabilities.
13. +
Next Generation Enterprise
l With the evolution of the enterprise architecture as a
strategy that aligns business and technology into one
coherent operation and execution.
l Assurance is gained through an ability to not only have all the
information but also, through coherency, have the information
provide access to additional knowledge within the enterprise.
l Alignment is very mature because the rules for processing
information will allow descriptions to be compared for
alignment and adjusted accordingly.
l Agility is achieved because the designs are coherent, which
includes an understanding and practice of loose coupling by
design instead of tight coupling by accident through the entire
architecture process.

18. The Archaeology of Software
Data Centers often resemble ancient/
modern cities like Rome — some of the
infrastructure and the applications are
very old, but still functioning; some are
working very well
“Rip and replace” is rarely an option for
much of this, and yet new “must-adopt”
technologies and applications appear
regularly at every level
This is one of the primary reasons why
corporate IT remains expensive
Is there an architecture
or even a platform that
can handle this
situation?
19. And By The Way…
We are at the start of a major
transformation in IT as we attempt to
come to grips with:
The Internet of Things
Event-driven
Architectures
Real-time Everything
