Avoid VDA! (Vendor Driven Architecture) |
|
It’s Time to Throw Your Comfort Blanket Away |
|
| When looking at technology buying patterns in the world of SOA, there's one common thread. The Global 2000, and many government agencies, are purchasing from their existing vendors, no matter what the needs or requirements. They consider the relationship with the vendor more than the value of the technology itself. It's comforting to deal with the same company, people, and platform. |
|
Moreover, many of these same companies are also allowing the technology vendors to design and define their solution. These vendor-driven architectures or VDAs are always a bad idea if you understand the core issues. |

Moving Business Intelligence to the Operational World, Part 1 |
|
Building Business Intelligence
DM Review |
|
Business Intelligence (BI), utilizing data warehousing as a primary conduit, must change to adapt to competitive pressures. There are business realities forcing these changes. First, there is an information explosion, which can inundate a data warehouse's intake capabilities and render nonautomated analysis to the most basic of levels. It is a real-time business world where suboptimally timed decisions can mean the difference between success and failure. |
|
The post-operational world is losing function to the operational world as time goes on. Data warehouses have provided a stop gap and will certainly retain some key functions. But our thought processes that shoehorn all issues into reporting and all reporting into the data warehouse need to be updated. |
|
Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is a support mechanism for operational BI. Data can be made to appear in the same data store as the data warehouse if desired – one-stop shopping for corporate information. EII is useful when connecting structured to unstructured data and when immediate data change in response to the data view is desired (i.e., when changing a copy of the data will not suffice). EII has utility when the data transformation is relatively light or nonexistent, and just getting the data together for integrated query is the biggest challenge. |

SOA Principles Apply to Data Access and Management |
|
Tech Target |
|
The same principles that guide Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) for application development can be applied to providing a loosely coupled approach to data access, says Anne Thomas Manes, research director at the Burton Group Inc. In an existing SOA environment the data services approach can provide business users with access to a large variety of information stored in everything from legacy flat files to desktop spreadsheets, she explained. |
|
According to a recent survey by the Ponemon Institute, 90 percent of organizations reported having more than 100 databases and 23 percent have more than a 1,000. In addition there are other sources of data such as spreadsheets. Data services provides a means to gather the information business users need in a structured way that with proper governance assures accuracy. |

Managing BI Complexity |
|
DM Review |
|
| BI complexity issues are getting a lot of attention since executives are directly noticing the results in the form of longer lead times to get information, higher uncertainty in making decisions and greater administration costs. Often this complexity can be avoided, and businesses can see instant and ongoing benefits if some basic principles are followed: keep the business goals in mind, leverage technology developments, leverage what already works, and keep simple things simple. |
|
BI solutions built using those principles greatly enhance user satisfaction, provide immediate ROI and are nimble so they can adapt quickly to business changes and grow as the business grows. In closing, business intelligence is not a cure-all for organizations, but it certainly can help organizations control complexity and manage their businesses better by greatly simplifying the decision-making process without sacrificing any the technical benefits that such solutions offer. |
