Understanding SOA and Business Mashups: Automate. Coordinate. Collaborate. No coding required! 2008-06-26 Serena Software

Featured Speaker: Tim Zonca, Master Masher and Director of Product Marketing at Serena Software

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been the talk of business process management, IT and enterprise architecture for the last decade, but the promise of SOA remains largely unfulfilled. Learn how Serena Business Mashups help you milk SOA for all its worth and offer new hope for beating the application backlog.

View this on-demand Serena webinar, where Master Masher Tim Zonca shows you how Business Mashups are the killer application for SOA and Web services, making your business more productive. Instead of relying on highly-skilled developers for all SOA work, non-programmers can visually assemble composite applications, called Mashups, using a simple, drag-and-drop user interface, and with no coding required.

In this webinar, you will learn:

What SOA is and how Business Mashups are strategically and technically aligned with it.

Why SOA matters.

How Web services can be used to rapidly assemble applications from existing building blocks.

How business users can perform application assembly, without programming skills.

How different systems, whether behind the firewall or Internet-based services, are easily connected.

RedPrairie Case Study: Briggs & Stratton 2008-05-29 RedPrairie

Briggs & Stratton is the world's largest producer of air-cooled gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment. In the span of three years Briggs & Stratton's replacement parts business exploded from about 35,000 SKUs to over 105,000 SKUs due to growth and new product lines. This growth and the impending end to their previous facility lease forced Briggs & Stratton to reevaluate their business. as a result, they decided to develop a new purpose-built 300,000 square foot distribution center in Menomonee Falls, WI (MFDC) for their replacement parts packaging and distribution business. RedPrairie provided a dynamic pick-face slotting application integrated to the RedPrairie Workforce Management solution already in use at Briggs & Stratton.

Kuveyt Turk Bank Eliminates Paperwork and Accelerates Human Resources Processes 2008-05-01 Oracle

Kuveyt Turk Participation Bank aims to bring diligence to the interest-free banking system, and to research new fields of investment. Kuveyt Turk wanted to cut the administrative burden on the Human Resources (HR) departments by empowering staff across the business and eliminate dependence on time-consuming paper-based workflows for absence requests. The challenge was to integrate HR systems with the banking system to automate financial transactions and enable insight into HR requirements and processes across the organization. Kuveyt Turk empowered 1,800 employees (working in 100 branches spread across 36 provinces) to manage their own human resources requirements and eliminated paperwork and improved traceability for absence requests by introducing online workflows for approval.

The eight most important best practices in SOA governance 2008-05-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

The technologies used by IT to create Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) are maturing. They are found to be robust and reliable. SOA governance provides a framework for making and applying the decisions that determine how the SOA will be designed, developed and operated. Work with real enterprises deploying SOAs to solve real business problems has led to the development of a set of best practices spanning SOA. This paper presents the eight best practices for SOA governance.

HP Open Extensibility Platform: Streamlining Paper-Intensive Business Workflows 2008-04-01 Hewlett-Packard

MultiFunction Peripherals (MFPs) are transforming business workflows. The initial motivator for deploying these devices in the enterprise office was cost savings from the consolidation of copier, print, scan and fax devices. This reduced maintenance costs, power consumption and warranty costs and yielded lower space requirements. Once MFPs were deployed, many companies found that the digital send feature (the ability to scan a document to e-mail) reduced distribution costs and streamlined the movement of paper in the enterprise. This trend for streamlining paper-intensive business processes has continued to the point where the term "Multifunction peripherals" is no longer accurate. These devices have now transformed into clients of business processes.
