PAI Architecture Strategy

  Step 1: Migration of existing assets (PAI 1.0)   Step 2: Consolidation of existing assets + some new functionality (PAI 1.5 - 2.5)   Step 3: Enhancing PAI Release with new functionality in a more proactive way (PAI 3.0 and later)

Agenda





Direct Benefits

With PAI Application Platform (PAI) we enable various direct project benefits:

Better infrastructure integration

Reduced “middleware zoo”

Tested infrastructure & middleware

Customer driven middleware product

Focus on business functionality first

Use a certified and supported DCX standard

Get the right things in a supported and release managed package

Build upon tested platforms and usage scenarios




Indirect Benefits

In addition to the direct project benefits PAI addresses a couple of mid-term indirect benefits:

Easier server consolidation

Simplified problem management

Higher level SLAs

Broader reuse of skill profiles

With less middleware variants you’ll get less dedicated servers

Similar middleware and architectures can be treated similar

PAI skills can be reused in other projects with no steep learning curve

Instead of a pure server SLA we bundle the whole middleware stack




PAI TCO Study 2003 Conclusions & Recommendations

  PAI is the key enabler to leverage the investigated best-practices and cost-savings

  Today we can already realize major savings in the areas architecture reuse, platform & component reuse, platform maintenance with scale effects in other areas (licenses, hardware, services, maintenance)

  But there is even higher potential in the areas of value-added services and operations that are currently not leveraged

  Setup PAI related operations services   Provide value-added services around PAI

  Build-up of an PAI service organization (PAI SO Project EMEA)   Provide higher-level SLA’s with data centers (Global Hosting, PAI SO)

Summary

If you are building proactive an “Integrated Application Platform”

•  Actively (govern) manage Technology and Innovation •  Reduce the dependency from Technology-Vendors •  Reduce IT-costs for products, services and processes •  Easier develop robust, scalable, tested applications •  Start Computing on Demand •  Build global, regional and local integrated applications

•  You have to do the right decisions at the right time •  It’s a step by step approach, which depends on your

current position •  It’s building a product organization with all elements of

a (small) company •  You have to manage major activities at the same time

But, with an Integrated Application Platform companies can
