Composite applications do not require completely new development. Reusing existing systems as the source of business functions provides a low- cost, low- risk way to get started. Service- oriented architecture is becoming the next great hope for success. This presentation highlights the issues with reusing legacy applications as services and describes technologies and techniques that can be used today. • Which techniques can be used to modernize legacy applications as services? • Which tools wrap applications and provide building blocks for composite applications? • Which vendors provide the most viable solutions for reusing applications in more modern application architectures? Dale Vecchio Master Data Management — Does SOA Need MDM, or Does MDM Need SOA? The focus of business process management initiatives and service- oriented application development initiatives are to create a more- agile and reusable set of processes in the form of services. But, the majority of services will only be as agile as the availability and consistency of data used by them. This will require a focus on the design and management of an agile information-driven architecture where master data management disciplines can be a key contributor. • What impact does service- oriented architecture have on the agility and management of the information architecture? • How will organizations leverage the ability of master data management disciplines to capture and track data rules and specifications for the next generation of processes and what best practices will they use to implement them? • What must organizations do in terms of transitioning people, process and technology to be able to ensure adequate levels of information agility for business process redesign initiatives? Andrew White Application Security in the SOA World — Technologies, Methodologies and Practices How AD processes for SOA should be changed to meet modern security requirements? A myriad of applications have already been built without those security considerations and yet they are an asset for enterprises, source of Web services, and players in SOA. Could they be made secure enough to withstand modern attacks? • Why do AD organizations build insecure applications? • What application security issues is SOA facing? • Which vendors, tools, methodologies and concepts enable higher- level security assurance? Joseph Feiman " Through 2012, 70% of SOA projects in complex, heterogeneous environments will fail to yield expected business benefits unless MDM is included."

10Register today at europe. gartner. com/ soa Summit Agenda Track 4 Enabling Growth Through Multienterprise SOA A time of rapid and unpredictable change offers several opportunities for growth to companies able to exploit them without delay. Reaching out to clients and citizens more effectively, focusing on core business, more closely integrating with business partners and leveraging new Internet and cloud- enabled business models are ways to innovate and reinvent the business enabled by available technology. Explore the opportunities for innovation associated with multienterprise B2B integration patterns, e- commerce, cloud computing and software as a service, Web 2.0, mash ups and Web- oriented architecture. Multienterprise Integration Scenario Companies have been doing business-to- business ( B2B) integration for decades, typically for e- commerce projects involving EDI. These projects are still common, but many new B2B projects involve SOA, cloud- computing, SaaS, and Web 2.0 style provisioning. Does your company have a strategy and infrastructure to support both traditional and innovative forms of B2B projects? • In addition to traditional e- commerce, what new styles of B2B projects are companies implementing, such as SaaS integration? • What architectural styles and best practices will companies use to implement B2B projects? • What IT technologies and solutions will be necessary to successfully implement all forms of B2B integration projects? Benoit Lheureux Cloud Computing Scenario: Extracting Business Value from the Hype Cloud computing has become the latest in a series of hot industry terms and as such, is used in many contradictory ways. Underneath the fog, there are very real trends such as global class architecture, Web platforms, scalable and elastic processing, and the Internet itself that are converging to fuel this phenomenon. Impacts will be felt as related applications evolve to deal with the changes, both real and resulting from hype. This impact will be felt in applications as well as platforms and services. • How will cloud computing be defined and evolve? • How will platforms be impacted by the cloud computing phenomenon? • How can IT and business leverage cloud computing? David Mitchell Smith Application Platform as a Service: An Emerging Alternative Transition from computing " in the closet" to computing " in the cloud" promises a liberation from many IT burdens. With APaaS, developers can create and execute applications with little or no on- premise tools or application middleware. This capability will increasingly be a part of emerging Web platform ecosystems. However, blindly turning your application platform over to the cloud is as dangerous as ignoring this important trend. • What is APaaS, and how does it differ from conventional application platforms? • What are the platform vendor APaaS strategies? • Which user projects will benefit from the APaaS model and which should avoid it? Yefim Natis E- Commerce and Procure- to- Pay Procure- to- pay and e- commerce solutions continue to develop and mature. Some are adopted one module at a time, some via a platform- oriented approach. This presentation will look at the state of the market today and highlight best practices users are adopting to make their efforts successful. • What is a procure- to- pay solution? • How are procure- to- pay solutions being implemented today? • When should organizations consider procure- to- pay over more traditional forms of B2B? Andrew White The Promise of Portals, and Its Fulfillment with Mashups and WOA The value proposition of portals has always included the capability for creating strategic, enterprise- grade solutions at tactical speeds. This has often unfortunately been more vision than reality. There has been a similar value proposition for systems built with SOA, and likewise there is a falling short of expectations. New approaches based on mashups and WOA ( Web- oriented architecture) revitalize the original vision of agile strategic systems. Will they also fall short? • How do portals and SOA enable agility? • What are mashups and WOA and how will these evolve in the enterprise? • How can organizations gain business value from portals, mashups and WOA? David Gootzit Web 2.0 and Beyond: How it Continues to Impact Business and Innovation Although the Web 2.0 name is popular and represents the Web of today, the world seems hungry for the next big thing, whether it be Web 3.0, cloud computing, or other terms. While Web 2.0 suffered from being perhaps overly broad, the special interests driving 3.0- mania have the opposite problem - they are often too focused. We'll look at the future of the Web with a focus on business value and the direction of Web 2.0 innovation. • What discontinuities are driving the Web? • What is Web 2.0, and is it only for Internet addicts? • What's beyond Web 2.0 ( hint: it isn't Web 3.0)?
