Enterprise BusinessUnit 2 BusinessUnit 1 BusinessUnit n Supplier Customer Integration Back Bone Business Issues Need for Fully Integrated Enterprise
CRM ERP CRM ERP Enterprise Business Object Billing Shipping Billing Shipping Business Issues Canonical Data Model to integrate heterogeneous environment • Growth through acquisition. Need to integrate business units • Information is fragmented across stovepipes of applications • Processes are application-driven, inconsistent and inefficient • Integrations are point-to-point interfaces and difficult and costly to change
EDI Views • EDI is not disappearing soon • 1st Generation B2B • Suited mainly for big companies • Still largest B2B environment • Organizations generally don’t remove systems that work
XML has Arrived • XML is a successor to EDI • XML defines the data as it is being transmitted • XML is technology neutral • More powerful capabilities for integration • Emerging tools supporting it
Convergence • Too many standards: ACORD, ARTS, CIDX, GS/1, HR-XML, OAGIS, PIDX, RosettaNet, SWIFT, IFX, TWIST . . . • No single Über Language and may never be • Look at EDI : X-12, EDIFACT, VDA, TRADACOMS, Galia, Odette, . . .
Convergence Trends Business language standards are maturing Most of the ones that will be successful, are successful Solution Providers are getting proactive and targeting their investments Moving forward, some level of consolidation makes sense UN/CEFACT technologies give people common ground
Convergence Initiatives UN/CEFACT MoU MG STAR – Technology Standards for Automotive AIAG – Automotive Industry Action Group Financial Harmonization (ISO20022 and Swift) HR-XML – Human Resources ISA S95 - Manufacturing WBF – World Batch Forum CIDX – Chemical Industry Data Exchange MSCI – Steel Industry PDES, Inc – STEP Standard ARTS – Retail Point of Sale EIC – Enterprise Interoperability Center EIDX – High Tech North America EDIFICE – High Tech Europe
Commitment to UNCEFACT Methodologies • The OAGi Board of Directors is committed to support and participate in the UNCEFACT Core Components efforts • OAGIS 9.0 and future releases will incorporate Core Component technologies
Core Components, The Idea • Sponsored by the United Nations • Defines the basis for building business languages. • Encourages all business languages to be based on same concepts.
Why Did OAGi Adopt Core Components? Enables all business languages to be based on same concepts and building blocks. Will increase interoperability within supply chains Will increase interoperability across supply chains Excellent base for OAGIS convergence initiatives
An implementation of ISO 11179 Creates common re-usable building blocks Conceptual Data Constructs – Core Components Reusable logical/physical Data Constructs – called BIEs Core Data Types, i.e. for “Amount, Code, Measure, and Quantity” Based on Semantic Definitions Clear rules on how to define semantics to explain what items mean Uses a Context Mechanism that controls how data constructs vary depending on the context e.g. By business process, business process role, industry, country/region, etc. Syntax neutral Can be used to define business documents OR business objects/databases Provides the heavy lifting for syntax specific representations Artifacts identified in a registry to maximize visibility and reuse Core Data Type Party Identifier Conceptual Data Model:Core Components Address Person Communication Logical Data Models:BIE’s Context Seller_ Party Buyer_ Party Seller_ Identifier Buyer_ Identifier Legal_ Address Home_ Address Terciary_Person Primary_Person Fax_ Communication Telephone_ Communication Software Vendors Adoption of UN/CEFACT SAP – Solving the problem: CCTS

OAGi Core Components Focus • Naming and Design Rules 3.0 • Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS) 3.0 • Data Type Catalog • Context Methodology (if ready)
OAGIS and Financial Convergence • Part of ISO20022, known as UNIFI • Driving for convergence in financial transactions • MoU participants include SWIFT, TWIST, IFX, OAGi • Phase 1 • Credit Transfer Message • Debit Transfer Message • Delivered in OAGIS 9 • Phase 2 • Statements • Still in development
IST/ISO Financial Inclusion in OAGIS
OAGi signs an MOU with the Enterprise Interoperability Centre • EIC is a deliverable of the Integrated Project ATHENA a European collaborative research Project • The EIC is an open, neutral, and independent organization, serving as a common and inclusive platform that adds value to its members, to the interoperability stakeholders, and to the established and ongoing work of existing standards development organizations.
OAGIS and HR-XML Convergence • HR-XML 3.0 is planned for 2009 • It is a next-gen body of work • It will provide consistent documentation of supported integration scenarios across the HR-XML library. • Leveraging the Open Applications Group’s Business Object Document (BODs) architecture for HR-XML message design. • Leveraging OAGIS architecture provides consistency to the HR-XML library and improves interoperability across industries.
How we got together OAGIS & ISA-SP95 Convergence • SAP Process standards evaluation • ISA SP95 / B2MML • SAP Discrete standards evaluation • OAGIS
OAGIS & ISA-SP95 Convergence Activities • Detailed analysis of OAGIS and B2MML • Agreement to start by mapping from Production Performance to ConfirmWIP • Found mapping difficult • Not a one to one • Overlaps and Underlaps • Decided to ask for OAGIS version of ISA-95 for easier mapping
P2B Convergence Team Study Results and Conclusions • ISA-95/B2MML terminology and models are excellent for process industries • ISA-95 standards and object models are easy to understand • ISA-95 Standards provide • Terminology, abstract models and transactions
P2B Convergence Team Results and Conclusions • The OAGIS standard includes Enterprise, Commerce and Manufacturing functionality • Manufacturing functionality is primarily discrete • Large install base in discrete manufacturing • Large install base in over 40 countries and over 30 industries
Process Discrete Hybrid Models Models Models P2B Convergence Team Results and Conclusions • We need a solution for process, discrete, and mixed mode manufacturing
The Customer Benefits • OAGi is building the ISA-95 Data Model into the OAGIS standard to provide a broader solution for OAGIS users. • OAGIS is sharing their data model with ISA-95 • Through the development of BODs based on the ISA-95 data model, we have greatly enabled the user to map between OAGIS and B2MML, providing greater ease of interoperability.
