In this presentation, attendees will learn about the convergence and alignment between BI and SOA solutions. We will present how a managed information environment, which provides the foundation for both, is evolving from a "metadata-based single source of truth" to the "information assurance and delivery-engine-including repository." Attendees' will learn about the requirements for a structured, iteratively-developed, data integration architecture (DIA) using a model-driven methodology which will provide a solid foundation for an SOA environment and support real-time business intelligence.

Abstract:

The Convergence of SOA
and Business Intelligence

In this presentation, attendees will learn about the convergence and alignment between BI and SOA solutions. We will present how a managed information environment, which provides the foundation for both, is evolving from a "metadata-based single source of truth" to the "information assurance and delivery-engine-including repository." Attendees' will learn about the requirements for a structured, iteratively-developed, data integration architecture (DIA) using a model-driven methodology which will provide a solid foundation for an SOA environment and support real-time business intelligence.
 
We will examine the value of information to both solutions and how the following areas provide structure to this Enterprise Information Integration paradigm:
 
* Managing Architectural Integration
* The Criticality Of Metadata & Management
     - Compliance enforcement, audit support, analysis, and reporting
 
* Reference Architectures and Model Driven development paradigms
     - How to gain full traceability from requirements to test cases
* Master Data Management [MDM], integration and control
* Effective governance is required
     - DG maturity model, Data lifecycle, and Control of information usage
 
You Will Learn:
* The background, definitions and key terminologies used in both solutions
* What the managed information environment components are (the same foundational elements required for an Services Based Architecture)
* Best practices and trends in SOA and data integration
