Composite Software teamed with Science
Applications International Corporation (SAIC), a
Federal Computer Week top 25 systems
integrator, to provide an SOA data services
layer solution for a major Department of Defense
agency. Using the Composite Information Server
(CIS) software, a geographically distributed
development team of SAIC software and system
professionals rapidly prototyped various
metadata management services. The team succeeded
with minimal disruptions to the development
operation. Initial success prompted government
officials to actively construct subsequently
complex use cases to solve with EII
technology. |

The Fastest Path to Make Existing
Systems Part of Your SOA |
|
| If your
service-oriented architecture (SOA) cannot reach
data locked in legacy applications and databases,
how does it support critical, high-profile
business decisions? At Composite, we created a
better way to reach and deliver information—on
demand. Our Pre-Built Data Services quickly turns
isolated information into industry-standard,
business-oriented web services and delivers the
data to every corner of your organization...in

An Overlooked
Component of a Fully Functional SOA |
| eBizQ |
| Implementing existing
systems into an SOA is complex and filled with
lots of fine details. This article breaks down
SOAs into four major components that will help
make implementation more manageable and
successful. One of the most difficult challenges
is incorporating existing systems into the SOA
environment without incurring the time and cost of
changing these legacy systems to conform to new
standards. Data services may hold the answer to
moving legacy systems forward into the SOA. |

EII: The
Prototype for a Killer App? |
| Enterprise Systems |
| Some
folks tout an intriguing use case for EII: as a
tool to help prototype the design or expansion of
a data warehouse. In this scenario, EII can help
give data warehousing adopters a kind of
clairvoyance into what the end result—i.e., an
enterprise data warehouse—might look like in their
unique environment six, twelve, or even 18 months
down the road. As a result, a secondary use case
for EII concerns ongoing data warehouse
management: organizations can also tap it as a
means to prototype proposed expansions to existing
warehouses, proponents say. |

SOA Governance: Preventing Rogue
Services |
| NetworkWorld |
| SOA
Governance refers to the industry efforts to
establish practices and tools for managing the
mesh of dispersed software components, and
enforcing consistent security, performance and
other policies across the service life cycle. SOA
governance tools let organizations continuously
model, map, monitor and take control of the
distributed environments. This article offers a
guide to managing complex service-oriented
architectures. |

Solving the
Mystery of mySAP FI/CO and Siebel CRM |
| Cognos
SupporLink |
| Organizations that
have rolled out an IT-intensive BI tool to
end-users, are still challenged with the users
accessing the information they need. Most users
don’t understand which application the data
resides in let alone how to create a report. To
address this challenge, Cognos has introduced
solutions for mySAP and Siebel CRM. Data Adapters
provide connectivity to transaction systems and
the second Report Packs decrease the time and
effort required to produce common reports against
transactional data. Now all of Cognos 8 BI’s rich
features and functions—including federated query,
export to PDF, and drag and drop—have been
extended to mySAP and Siebel CRM. |

Vertically
Organized Data Infrastructures in Financial
Services |
| Business
Integration Journal |
| Competitive financial
services institutions are implementing SOAs
because of their flexibility to respond rapidly to
changing business conditions. Yet, Web Services
aren’t the only building blocks available for SOA
implementations. EII, with its ability to combine
Web Services with traditional database APIs,
perfectly complements SOAs in which information
systems are quicker to respond, and data is more
accurate and comprehensive. The result is improved
customer service and higher customer
satisfaction. |
