2. Business Connectivity Market Trends
Business connectivity in the context of evolved Web Services is a critical challenge at the heart of
most enterprises’ key business applications, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM),
Supply Chain Management (SCM), e-Business / e-Commerce applications, and enterprise portals.
The need for two or more of such applications to communicate both within and out the enterprise
forms the basis of the application integration “problem.” The Forrester research estimates that over
70% of today’s IT budgets are dedicated to solving integration issues. In some industries, such as
financial services and insurance, this percentage is even higher.
The market for business connectivity software components and services is likely to grow throughout
2004- 2008 and the application integration marketed at $1.3 billion in 2002 is expected to reach $7.7
billion by 2007.
Yet, business connectivity is understood not only as the issues of internal or external integration, but
also as the point of business mobilization, as demanded by the developing m-business market.
More and more companies and organizations realize that by utilizing mobilized work they not only
make their employees’ work more efficient but also enable then to perform more of their tasks in
proximity to the customer, thus increasing the efficiency of customer relations management.
According to Ovum the smartphone (as a major means of business mobilization) market has grown
from just two million units sold in 2002 to some 10 million sold in 2003, with 25 million expected to
be sold in 2004 and 130 million in 2007. ABI predicts similar growth, expecting 150 million units by
2008. Based on various market reports, we can project the relative growth of smartphones with
respect to other mobile computing segments as follows:
3. Web Services Market Trends
The overall trend shows a very strong interest in Web Services, as a backbone of business
connectivity which can be proved by the fact that 52% of the companies claim to have begun projects
or be currently prototyping Web Services as the most optimal solution for their business needs and
37% are considering their implementation.
Web Services and SOA approaches allow solving critical connectivity problems by providing
standards-based, loosely coupled interfaces for accessing application functionality and data.
Concurrently with the increased demand for business connectivity solutions, Web Services (at $152
million in 2002) are evolving as a portion of the total Enterprise Applications Integration (EAI),
application servers and enterprise portals markets, and are expected to reach $3.1 billion by 2007.
Web Services will impact the way the software is developed, distributed and used. It creates Dynamic
Business Webs – flexible Internet-based applications that will allow companies to create new
products and services faster than existing methods, reach new customers, new engagement and
business models. Gartner expects that all leading e-business platforms will support the basic Web
Services infrastructure and expects a $28 billion market for Web Services by 2008
With new trends appearing and new technologies developing, the analysts project business
connectivity and e-business software sales to grow to nearly $9 billion. And the trend is not a short-
term one, since forecasts also predict that business connectivity software and services will be a $40
billion market by 2006.
4. Business Connectivity for Modern Enterprise
General Approach
Expansion of corporate IT systems beyond the boundaries of traditional enterprise and dynamic
nature of the competitive landscape are creating significant business and technology challenges. This
ever-expanding universe of new generation of enterprise applications requires a radically different
technological approach to building and connecting these applications into coherent large-scale
solutions. Web Services are the latest in the series of industry-wide initiatives that are focused on
addressing the need for connecting extended enterprise applications.
XML Web Services technology is relatively new however it has already demonstrated a number of
critical properties that generated a wave of industry-wide excitement and placed them into the bright
spotlight of industry analysts, the press, and leading edge practitioners. The great premise of Web
Services is in their ability to flexibly and efficiently connect the extended enterprise.
Business connectivity is a complex issue and can be subdivided into several types: Internal
Application Integration, External Application Integration, and Multi-Channel Integration.
Structure of services for Enterprise Business Connectivity positioning
1. Deployment of the Enterprise Business Connectivity Framework and creation of the Unified Business InterfaceTM
for the Enterprise;
2. Development of specific XML Web Services for enabling the service-oriented architecture of the enterprise IT
infrastructure;
3. Development of the Data Consuming Applications:
Complex information systems;
Client applications for mobile devices;

6. Business Connectivity Framework Solution
on the basis of XML Web Services
One of the primary tasks for increasing the efficiency of enterprise integration and developing service
oriented architecture is the development of the enterprise integration interface. Most of the existing
approaches do not assure the requisite access to corporate information due to security and user
administration policy.
A Web Services-based Service Oriented Architecture supports not only business but also technical
possibilities, and focuses on the value derived from integrating information systems. It allows to
integrate legacy systems working on different platforms and to avoid limitations imposed by the local
network and firewall.
Soft Format L offers its customers the development of the Unified Business InterfaceTM (UBI) which
will serve as a reliable, scalable and composite interface for future development of the extended
enterprise.
Business Connectivity Framework is a complex software solution for
business integration. It enables the business connectivity of the
enterprise through the Unified Business InterfaceTM.
The Business Connectivity Framework consists of:
The XML Web Services which provide the data access and reflect the business
logic of the source information system;
Web Services Management System SF-WSM, which enables the centralized web
services management;
Unified Business InterfaceTM – a set of open standardized XML Web Services for
enabling the interaction of the external systems with the enterprise IT infrastructure.
Business Connectivity Framework consolidates the Information Systems
into a single cross-corporate system and separates business function
logic usage from physical implementation. Thus it provides data
consumers with access to the required data from versatile Data Sources.
8. Unified Business InterfaceTM
Conceptual Vision
Enterprise Information System Tier
Enterprise Information Systems include existing and newly developed information
systems and databases, which will serve as data sources during integration and
extending business to Internet.
Adapters allow connection of Web Services to systems that were not originally
developed as Web Services-based. Adapters can be written in-house or purchased from
software vendors of existing Information Systems. Some examples of systems that can
use adapters include internally developed systems, database systems, CORBA,
COM/DCOM.
Web Services make up connection technology, which enables integration of Web
Services into a service-oriented architecture. The advantage of XML Web Services
within the Business Connectivity Framework Solution is their slimmed-down functionality
and thus simplicity of maintainability and extensibility. This is achieved by the
architectural solution of the Business Connectivity Framework, where XML Web Services
reflect the business logic of the source information system and the data access logic.
Unified Business InterfaceTM
Web Services Management System provides centralized management of security
policy and authorization of entire corporate Web Services infrastructure. It provides
external systems with unified open interface (Unified Business InterfaceTM) for interaction
with existing enterprise Web Services infrastructure.
Intranet Tier
XML firewalls offer the promise of protecting internal systems when using Web
Services. Traditional firewalls offer protection at the packet level and do not examine the
contents of messages. XML firewalls, on the other hand, examine the contents of
messages. This includes the SOAP headers and the XML content. They are designed to
permit authorized content to pass through the firewall.
Internal Applications encompass all enterprise software applications
(WinApplications, WebApplications, WebServices, etc), which interact with the existing
Web Services infrastructure.
Internet Tier
Firewalls offer protection at the packet level and protect enterprises from attack.
External Applications encompass all enterprise software applications (Win
Applications, Mobile Applications, external ІС, etc) beyond the enterprise, which
interact with the existing Web Services infrastructure through the Internet.
9. Expediency of using XML Web Services
XML Web Services are not the only technology applicable for developing the business connectivity
solutions still having a number of significant advantages over other:
Interoperability — by operating on the “system boundaries”, Web Services achieve a higher level
•
of commonality than previously available. XML Web Services can work with the heterogeneous
environment, i.e. they can both receive data from versatile sources and act as data sources for
completely incompatible systems, thus ensuring their integration.
Operational simplicity — using Web Services, business logic of individual systems can be
•
exposed over the Web. Developers or business analysts can compose custom client-side solution
for a particular business problem by combining the Web Services that they require.
Scalability — because of the component-based model of XML Web Services, the technology
•
secures the scalability and extensibility of the solution. Thus it allows the incremental development
of the integration solution, assures the capabilities for future modifications, enhancements, etc.
Ubiquity — because Web Services are provided over the Internet, they are accessible from
•
anywhere and furthermore, because of the standards they are developed with, Web Services
respect existing security systems such as firewalls.
10. Advantages of utilization of Web Services Management System (SF-WSM)
