1 Linda Kresl, BI Manager, Mentor Graphics MIT IQ Symposium, July 17-19, 2008 Boston, MA. Welcome! 1 Quality Information as a Service for SOA 1. How to relate the Service Component to your business entities. 2. How to build a high quality data service that enables all other services. 3. How to develop the Information Management Strategy that prevents wasting your SOA investment

Aligning the Application and Data Points of View In the Gartner Report: Key Issues for Data Management and Integration, 2006 Ted Friedman writes: What impact will enterprise information management have on approaches such as service oriented architecture? New approaches to architecture and implementation of applications, such as SOA, are creating pressure to increase the availability, timeliness of delivery, consistency and auditability of data. Without a strong focus on data at the foundation of their initiatives, organizations will fail in capturing the benefits of speed and agility they seek from SOA. Our research will analyze the key dependency points between EIM and SOA to expose the risks of failing to align the application and data points of view

5 What is Service Oriented Architecture? SOA is a method of conceptualizing, designing & building applications by assembling reusable building blocks, each of which is usually represented as a service. 9 Service Components Service Component (and interface) main entities in the SOA Concept specify them uniquely

6 Entities A person, place, or thing that the business cares enough about to store and track information. 11 Data Model is a communication vehicle for the business FINANCE CUSTOMER generate revenue SALES COMPETITOR purchase monitors PRODUCT works is sold MARKETING HUMAN RESOURCES provides service to supplies VENDOR

7 What is a data service? 13 Data Services...a necessity for SOA The advantage of a data service is the ability to bind many different data types into one unified enterprise-wide data model, including schema and content. Manages poorly designed and normalized data without having to force fixes to the back-end systems

8 Link Services to the required data Enterprise Data Warehouse Data tied back to Common Information Model 15 Data Services Mapping Web Services layer is composed of data services and business services. Business and IT meet in the web services layer. IT supplies data services, codes, and domain types for building business services. Data model meta-data is converted into web schema meta-data for the SOA implementation.
