Software AG: XML Business Integration Portfolio ZapNote»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Companies continue to invest in their increasingly complex IT infrastructure while seeing gradually diminishing benefits, due to the challenges of trying to achieve their business needs from an heterogeneous environment of systems of different types, ages, architectures, and technologies. To address these challenges, companies require a technology solution that provides a standards-based, comprehensive technology platform for working in a heterogeneous IT environment. Software AG’s XML Business Integration Portfolio enables companies to realize reduced integration costs and greater business agility through the delivery of Service-Oriented Architectures to disparate, heterogeneous IT systems by means of a combination of legacy-enablement, unstructured and structured data integration through Enterprise Information Integration, a reliable Enterprise Service Bus, and ... |
Solving Information Integration Challenges in a Service-Oriented Enterprise White Paper»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :As enterprises grow and evolve, they create and store their assets in a wide array of disparate systems and sources ranging from mainframes to relational databases, file systems to directories. However, in order for companies to realize the value of the information stored in these systems, they must integrate and connect the disparate silos of information in the enterprise. As such, today’s enterprises face an immediate challenge of connecting relevant systems in a manner that is flexible, cost effective, manageable, and reliable. Web Services and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) offer compelling solutions for solving integration challenges in a standards-based, loosely coupled, business-oriented manner. However, Web Services address merely the interfaces between systems, applications, ... |

Solving the Very Large Messaging Problem in the Enterprise White Paper»rank: 4549294by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Companies are increasingly seeking to tie together their disparate enterprise using the promising, but emerging technologies of XML, Web Services, and Service-Oriented Architectures. These approaches promise significant business agility in the face of IT heterogeneity. However, these benefits come at a price: performance and efficiency. As the network traffic increases due to the increasing size and volume of messages, both XML and non-XML based, existing corporate IT infrastructure will be taxed to its limit. General-purpose application servers, network equipment, and messaging infrastructure will be increasingly devoted to simple message parsing, handling, and routing functions, while precious few resources will be left to execute the core business logic so important to companies.

Solving Today's Integration Challenges While Providing for Tomorrow's Flexibility and Agility Needs White Paper»rank: 4549294by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Today’s IT organizations grapple with a world of discrete, heterogeneous systems that need to integrate with each other in order to accomplish significant business tasks. Over the years, companies have pursued a wide variety of integration approaches aimed at solving the underlying requirements for connecting these disparate systems. Yet, the problems with integration are still troubling companies, even though these solutions have been around for a generation or more. The result of all these attempts to solve the problems of integration is a mix-and-match set of approaches and technologies that are ill-suited to the fundamental requirement of seamlessly connecting disparate systems in the enterprise. The “problem” of heterogeneity isn’t a problem that ... |

Taking Business Logic to the Next Level with SOA White Paper»rank: 4641538by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer, Jason Bloomberg
: :Coding business logic is the only way to satisfy business requirements in information technology (IT), and businesses have been doing so for decades, albeit with limited success. The fundamental problem with business logic has been its inflexibility—business needs change, and the logic can’t keep up. While there have been modest flexibility improvements since the days when all application functionality resided on the same system, the unfortunate truth is that these advances have been little more than a business logic shell game, moving the hard-coded logic from one system to another. Instead of solving the problem, businesses are in the habit of creating instant legacy code all over their infrastructure. Today’s business requires ... |
Teros: Securing Web Services Data and Interfaces ZapNote»rank: 5448714by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :As systems become more distributed and abstracted through Web Services-based SOAs and other means, it becomes increasingly difficult for a company to gain adequate knowledge of their vulnerabilities and the level to which their systems are exposed. In addition, companies must safeguard the data that is transmitted between systems. In the case of Web Services, this data is known as the “payload” that is transmitted within and between organizations. Teros leverages a history of providing deep content inspection for traditional Web applications that is apropos for solving Web Services payload and interface security challenges. The Teros Web Services Security Gateway applies application learning to implement enhanced security controls on application inputs. |

Turbo Charging Information Integration for Service-Oriented Enterprises Presentation: with Mid-Tier Operational Data Stores»rank: 3094177by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :An integrated data infrastructure is key to Web-enable access to operational data. XML, Java, federated queries, transformation and other technologies all play a role in these strategic information management efforts, but there’s been no clear path for IT to follow. Until now! This presentation was from a free online seminar given by industry expert Ron Schmelzer, Analyst, ZapThink LLC, and Raining Data’s TigerLogic XML data management server team. The presentation shows how to learn how to take the pain out of enterprise information integration by rethinking the way you aggregate, store and manage data. This presentation will introduce you to you XML-enabled mid-tier operational data servers – the latest concept in information ... |
Ubiquitous Computing: Removing the Final Roadblock White Paper: Integrating Closed Systems with Edge Devices & XML»rank: 6603960by: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Ubiquitous computing -- connecting all the systems in an enterprise into a single, well-oiled IT infrastructure that responds quickly and efficiently to the needs of the business -- is one of the primary goals of many IT managers today. After all, today’s economy is information-based, and the better a company can leverage the information it has in its systems, the more competitive it will be.For ubiquitous computing to be a reality, however, companies must address many tough issues. Systems must communicate with each other. There must be a flexible, resilient architecture that guides the operation of the IT infrastructure. And the business must be able to use the IT resources at its ... |
