There is an explosion in the use of Enterprise Architecture for Business Integration. Business-driven methods identify high reusability business processes within Government, Defense and Commercial Organizations. These processes use common shared data as an integrated resource. Data is updated once and becomes immediately available to all shared systems. This leads to improved cost effectiveness of business processes ... with dramatic cost savings.

This course is based on the use of XML, Web Services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) technologies. Products are available today that move directly from Workflow Models or Process Models through to automatically-generated executable code. This is based on the generation from these diagrams of executable XML-based Business Process Management (BPM) languages such as Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), Business Process Modeling Language (BPML) and Business Process Specification Schema (BPSS) for ebXML. Products are also available that can move directly from Data Base Design into automatically-generated code in various languages.

These methods and technologies enable Enterprise Architecture results to be delivered rapidly in 3-month increments using SOA technologies.

How can Business Integration and Enterprise Integration both be achieved in an era of rapid business change?
What methods are needed for rapid delivery of priority business processes into production in 3-month increments?
How are Web Services and Service-Oriented Architectures used?
How can BPM languages be used to generate executable code automatically from Workflow Models or Process Models?
How do these technologies apply to Enterprise Architecture?

Rapid Systems Development in the 21st Century Integrated Enterprise
Reviews Information Architecture integration technologies based on XML, XSL, XSLT, EAI, Web Services and SOA
Reviews how these technologies are used to deliver e-Government and e-Business priority areas that were identified in Days 1-3 using EA
Shows how these integration technologies are used to deliver these priority areas rapidly into production, in 3-month increments for success with e-Government and e-Business
Discusses maintenance methods based on these technologies and EA that enable these implemented e-Government and e-Business areas to respond rapidly to business changes.

Clive Finkelstein

Clive Finkelstein is acknowledged worldwide as the "Father" of Information Engineering, and is Managing Director of Information Engineering Services Pty Ltd in Australia. He has published many books and papers. He provides training and consulting in all aspects of Enterprise Architecture, with rapid delivery of priority areas using Enterprise Engineering. During implementation he moves organizations to rapid implementation using XML, Web Services, Service-Oriented Architecture, (SOA) Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Portals.

This seminar is drawn from his just-published book: “Enterprise Architecture for Integration: Rapid Delivery Methods and Technologies”, Clive Finkelstein, Artech House, Norwood, MA (March 2006). A copy of the book will be provided for each delegate at the seminar.
