Next-Gen Applications New capabilities drive massive process innovation Broad availability of fused processes Early fusion-capable applications Broad availability of ‘pure’ service-oriented application software Composite development approach dominates Service software markets appear Service-oriented application development accelerates Gartner Predicts the future of IT “The Next Massive Wave of Innovation and Demand for IT will Start in 2007” - Gartner, September 2004 Business Agility Composite Applications Applications Maze Gartner, 2004 2003 2005 2007 2009

  4. New Business Drivers for Government: Network-Centric Operations based on Real-time Decisions • Immediacy – Deal with the pace of Change • Continuous Planning, distributed execution • Real-time Exception Management & SLA Monitoring • 50% growth in Services with 5% growth in revenue (YTY) • Accuracy – Increase Accountability • Financial Audit and Grant Management • Operational Risk and Fraud Management • Compliance/Information Security/Governance • Intimacy – Ensure a High Quality of Experience (QOE) • Single View of the Citizen (KYC- Customer Fusion) • Integrated Service to the citizen (Service Fusion) • X-Agency Collaboration and process management (G2G fusion)

  5. New Mission demands New IT Strategy Beyond Transaction Management to Real-time Command & Control • Focus on “Information” vs. Technical Infrastructure • Document Information Assets using the Enterprise Architecture approach with AS-IS and TO-BE data, process, and policy (rules) models • Identify and Consolidate around Authoritative Data sources • Layer a “Modernization Layer” on top of existing stovepipes to deliver “Systems of Systems” • Deliver New Capabilities to LOB (Convert Information into Knowledge) • 360 degree views at the operational level to enable Relationship Management and Case Management • Connect-the-dots at the tactical level to enable Exception Management and Asset Management • Provide Situational Awareness at the strategic level to drive focus on Risk Management and Performance Management

  6. Next-Gen Applications Smart Client (RIA) Portals IT Modernization: Application Evolution Cross-Functional Fusion (Data, Processes) End- User Integration Unified Access Operator (Publish-Subscribe) End User Analytics Knowledge Worker Rich Context, Analytics & Collaboration Transform Operators into Knowledge Workers

  7. Dynamic-user controlled Workflow • Knowledge-based context sharing • Full Audit Tracking Collaboration • Train-of-Thought Investigation • Rich Visualization & Context • Live Updates Analysis • All Information Correlated in One Screen • Internal & External Data Sources • Unstructured docs & Legacy Apps Integration • Service Oriented • Iterative • Rapid Time-to-Value Development Top Business Requirements for Modernization Enterprises seek to leverage their existing information assets by connecting them to one another into dynamic network-centric applications. Knowledge Processes require a new Approach, new functionality • Virtual Fusion across databases and apps • Correlation with Unstructured data • Ad-Hoc Analysis • Dynamic Workflow • Rapid Composability What are the barriers to delivery?

  8. Business Users Non Actionable Intelligence Action without Intelligence Analytic Stack Applications Stack No analytic context No process context Customer Analytics Risk Analytics New Account App Trade Exception App Static data model Hardwired Read-Only, Batch Trade Clearance Process New Account Process Risk Warehouse CRM Warehouse Communication Billing Transaction Product Claims Account Communication Billing Transaction Product Claims Account Operational Silos Barrier: Business Users are Trapped in An Applications Maze Current approaches lack the flexibility and ‘integrated environment’ that business users need to make effective knowledge based decisions What is needed is to insert Real-time Intelligence in the context of Business Process

  9. Present in an Interactive, Composite UI 3 Combine data from any source 1 Applications Services Fuse and Relate Disparate Information 2 Databases Composite Applications: A New Approach Smart Client Integration Fusion

  10. Example: Defense Intelligence • For any suspicious event, user needs to know… • what (type of event) • where (map) • which (sources) • when (Ops Plan) • why (target context) • who responds (assets) TARGETS SIGINT IMINT GIS HUMINT Need to relate—not just copy—information from many sources

  11. Other Tasks A Composite Application for Defense Intelligence 1. Fuse services from multiple applications 2. Correlate information in context 3. Drill down in Real-Time 4. Ask questions across databases 5. Infer links across systems Map RFI Other Tasks Actor Resources Equipment

  12. Business Users Manage Context to enable 360° Interaction Composite Cross-Sell Composite Risk Management Add semantics to transform static schema into a dynamic ontology Link disparate data models and processes into unified view Add information from related systems including apps and unstructured data Straight-Through Processes New Account Process Risk Warehouse CRM Warehouse Communication Billing Transaction Product Claims Account Communication Billing Transaction Product Claims Account Operational Silos Connect-the-Dots: Leverage Existing Systems to Build Systems of Systems Intelligence + Action = Real-time Decision Making

  13. Technology: The PiiE™ Platform Composite UI (Smart Client) Present information to users in a real-time, interactive XML interface Composite Schema (Business Ontology) A Business Ontology describes the semantics of data relationships, workflow, and events Customer Xaction AML Email HR Composite Queries (EII) Logically map multiple databases or web services as if they came from a single source

  14. Types of Composite Apps : All Knowledge Applications Knowledge Integration is driven by what people do…everyday Reports Case Management Dashboards Event Management Business Activity Monitoring Planning & Forecasting

  15. PiiE connects knowledge applications into a lifecycle PiiE transforms enterprises from reactive exception management to real-time sense and response. ENABLING THE LIFECYCLE OF KNOWLEDGE WORK Capture & Correlate Event/Exception Event Resolution • Correlation adds meaning and context to an exception alert • Discover links and relationships across system boundaries • Create Knowledge by composing a picture of the situation • Collaborate and share specific insights and observations • Take action and audit the information process Composite Event Composite Application Monitoring & Investigation Communication & Collaboration Composite Report Composite Dashboard Case Management Composite Workbench

  16. Composite Application Architecture: What is Missing “Currently, enterprises have no means of presenting correlated views of their data assets to end-users.” – Burton Group, 2003
