  2. Agenda STEP-C Objective HE vision Implementing STEP-C (SOA + ESB) Future – ESB in Cloud Enterprise Architecture Q & A

  3. STEP- C Objective UK Higher Education has been facing challenges since last few years. A few amongst them are: • UK HE organizations have adopted “best of breed” approach for acquiring information related to student. Each institution then has to integrate the various application systems and develop over-arching management reporting systems. • There was a need for information to be acquired and integrated across multiple Institutions to satisfy legislative needs. • UK legislation (anti-terrorism rules) require all UK Universities to be able to monitor whether students who have obtained a visa to attend an educational course are actually attending and studying.

SOA Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) • Students Track • Students Record • Personal Info • Finance • Identity Check • Process Payment • VLE • VLE plan • Course Attended • Students Tracking • Students Record • Personal Info • Finance • Identity Check • Process Payment • VLE • VLE plan • Course Attended • Distributed applications • Backbone-based integration • Reusable services • Decoupling • Metadata driven – Services, Policy's and Bindings • Centralized Operation and Management • Monolithic application development • Point-to-point integration • Hard-wired • Resource Intensive • High bandwidth utilization • High number of Communication Channels

  10. Implementation Benefits • The solution is deemed to be technology and platform independent • The total solution is a loosely coupled architecture that any systems can be added to the existing frame work without disturbing the current environment. • The reusability concepts of the SOA based architectures are implemented by consuming all the functionalities as services through the ESB. • The development time to add new systems is very less as retesting the existing solution and recompilation of the total solution for minor changes can be avoided. • With the concepts of Itineraries the data flow can be defined by a business analyst without knowing the underlying implementation of the any tool.

  14. STEP-C Background Each of the 167 UK HEIs have application architectures built with • Different combinations of ‘Best of Breed’ applications • Applications that are linked with point-to-point interfaces • Few “standards” for interfaces which are shared across the entire sector Hence, each University has a different starting point and also a different size of IT department
