Chasing the technology ‘bouncing ball’; delivering real ROI for eBusiness

Chasing the technology ‘bouncing ball’; delivering real ROI for eBusiness

The CIO nightmareThe CIO nightmare

• What standards do I choose?

• How do I build significant ROI for my organization?

• Can I leverage my existing systems?

• What resources are available to deploy my solution?

• What are my partners doing?

• How much of this is real?

• How do I avoid being in a vendor revolving doors strategy?

• What if I just build it my way and ignore everyone else?

Identifying the NeedsIdentifying the Needs

• What are you trying to build anyway?

• Better EDI system?

• Reach SME partners more effectively?

• eMarketplace solution?

• Next generation XML system and network?

• Open eGovernment systems?

• Integration of major corporations applications?

• Common industry collaboration and vocabularies?

SpeakerHint

You can tailor this list to suit your audience and their industry

• People accept that a digital world is coming and are adjusting their work habits accordingly:

– Virtual presentations and meetings

– All digital documents and transactions

– Digital photographs, voices, sound, and signatures (UPS, Radio Shack, Home Depot, Best Buy and more).

• Shared factor – naturally multi-lingual.

• Vast gulf between First World and Third World.

The Challenge of ChangeThe Challenge of Change

Business ChallengesBusiness Challenges

• In determining operational needs there are three levels and areas to include: – The first level is the overall operational

approach to solving large enterprise level interactions,

– then enterprise to small business interactions, – and small business to small business

interactions.

Affordable InfrastructureAffordable Infrastructure• For a large enterprise this translates into:

– Reducing the headcount of staff needed

– Decreasing the effort to migrate to implementation versions

– Lowering the necessary specialty skills to instead enabling general business staff (costs, productivity, customers).

• For small business it means:

– Being able to support multiple large partners diverse requests for information interchanges

– Supporting a single technology base

– Linking the interchange to your applications.

Process

• XML, by itself, does not solve interoperability problems yet

it is an important tool for doing so.

• XML does not provide semantics.

• XML by itself is not the magic bullet.

• What we really need is a consistent set of methods for

building interoperable eBusiness systems using XML –

“railroads and telephony”.

XML itself is not enoughXML itself is not enough

Solving the right problemSolving the right problem

• Web services:– interactive point-to-point unrestricted transactions– internal backend system sockets

• ebXML:– secure, reliable business-to-business exchanges– metadata alignment, consistent vocabularies, registries– open eBusiness architecture, business process engineering

• W3C XML:– wire formats, syntax parsing, security, storage and retrieval– middleware plumbing, web service plumbing

Standards FocusStandards Focus

• OASIS– ebXML technology specifications– Web service technology specifications– Industry XML vocabularies– Registry technology specifications

• CEFACT– ebXML architecture specifications – UMM / UML– Migration of UN/EDIFACT to UMM world– Business Process alignment

• Industry Standards Groups– Local vocabularies for vertical industry use

Standards Focus (more)Standards Focus (more)

• ISO– International standard tables and measures

– Registry technology specifications

• OMG– Programming language technology

• EAN/ UCC / CEN / DISA and others– Cross-industry integration

• Is there overlap and confusion of mission? YES!

ebXML HistoryebXML History

• Begun as 18-month initiative in November 1999

• V1.0 Specifications delivered on schedule in May 2001

• Developed in an open process by more than 2000 participants representing 100 organizations in 150 countries

• Facilitation meetings held in N.America, Europe and Japan

• Development and deployment of the specifications is continuing within OASIS and CEFACT with support from NIST, UCC/EAN, EU and more.

ebXML – Why and How?ebXML – Why and How?

• Computers are quicker and more reliable than people (in processing data), and offer potential business ROI

• Mature organisations process their information electronically and reap very significant competitive and production benefits

• Information exchange & accounting between organisations is:– largely still paper / fax based– dictated by regulation or large customers– great once you get it working and stable electronically– cost savings and availability via internet as delivery medium– international need to enable global trade and opportunities– eCommerce / Web revolution well underway (e.g. eBay+)

Challenges of e-business todayChallenges of e-business today

• XML initiatives underway for specific industriesXML initiatives underway for specific industries– attempts at verbatim translation of EDI to XML

• Consensus required on common requirementsConsensus required on common requirements• No core infrastructure meansNo core infrastructure means

PlanningPlanning

• Incremental adoption of components and operational maturity

• Plan 1 year, 2 year and 5 years out.

• Issues, implementation criteria, ROI, support, interoperability, XML.

• Schema neutral content assembly.

• Separation of business semantics from XML mechanics.

• Web services and discovery.

Some ebXML selection metricsSome ebXML selection metrics

• B2B or large A2A Environments— extending or integrating enterprise systems, or when loosely coupled messaging is desirable

• Need Reliable Messaging— when enterprise services perform updates, insert, or deletes to the underlying data model, reliable messaging becomes critical

• Security is a Concern—when different security profiles and requirements exist between trading partners

• High scalability requirements—ebXML’s loosely coupled messaging architecture allows for horizontal scalability, queuing, and clustering

• Want to Leverage Industry Standards—XML grammars, business process modelling and trading partner agreements

Main ebXML conceptsMain ebXML concepts

• Business Processes – defined as models in UMM, scripted in XML

• Business Messages – content agnostic - exchanged using ebMS

• Trading Partner Agreement – specifies parameters for businesses to interface with each other – expressed in XML

• Messaging Layer – moves the actual XML data between trading partners – ebMS

• Core components – library of pre-defined business vocabulary artifacts

• Collaboration Registry - Provides a “container” for process models, vocabularies, assembly templates, partner profiles + discovery.
