Title:

Unifying Business Intelligence and Content Management with SOA

Abstract:

To live up to their potential, decision support systems must bridge the gulf between data-centric and document-centric views of enterprise information stores. Organizations which employ Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) for their Business Intelligence (BI) and Content Management (CM) development frameworks may find this gulf more easily spanned. A Service-Oriented Architecture is one where loosely-coupled, coarse-granular application component tiers communicate with each other using XML Web Service standards. When BI and CM share these common underlying mechanisms and representations, their integration is not only greatly simplified, but the resulting system also becomes a seamless fabric upon which both data-centric and document-centric views can co-exist. The union of BI and CM is an important next step in the evolution of these two enterprise information delivery vehicles. The consequences will prove beneficial both to information producers and consumers. By building the individual application frameworks using SOA, these integration benefits are obtained with little additional cost or complexity.

Primary Goals:

1. Meaning of Service-Oriented Architecture
2. Example SOA architectures for BI and CM
3. Business and Technology rationale for integration of BI and CM
