Application Development: Delivering Application Services   (AD)

The conflicting forces acting on AD organizations are greater than they have ever been in the history of IT. Balancing the working systems of today with the services-oriented architectures needed to deliver future business value is a challenge. The skills, technologies and organizational structures necessary to deliver flexible, dynamic business-centric application services are evolving. This track focuses on the changing roles for delivering application services in a real-time enterprise.

Senior application management, AD managers, AD architects and planners, as well as those responsible for making key AD strategy decisions

Lead Presentation: The Great Debate: Application Development or Assembly for the Real-Time Enterprise?
(15A)
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm   24 March 2003 
Hotle, Matt   Driver, Mark   Vecchio, Dale   Lanowitz, Theresa   

Is the tradition of coding applications dead? Can organizations continue to deliver business value using the normal approaches to application development, or will AD become increasingly about assembling business function from a wide variety of sources? Can applications be constructed with a single purpose in mind, or must a services-oriented mentality rule all future AD? This debate will address these questions and many others about the future of application development.

  • What are dominant forces driving application development over the next five years?
  • What skills will be required to deliver dynamic and adaptive business function for the real-time enterprise?
  • What are the technologies necessary for delivering flexibility for all new applications?

              Economics of Application Delivery: Balancing Cost, Risk and Time
              (25A)
              2:00 pm - 3:00 pm   25 March 2003 
              Feiman, Joseph   

              In the economic downturn, enterprises are searching for practices that guarantee delivery of critical applications with minimal cost and risk. This presentation covers economics of Application Delivery (AD) outsourcing. We are analyzing what AD cycle phases could or could not be run offsite; accounting for miscommunication and ineffectiveness of globally distributed projects; assessing onsite and offsite pay rates. We review what AD skill should not be outsourced but cultivated in-house, what enterprises spend on training their own developers, and what they typically budget for AD outsourcing.

              • What factors accelerate the tendency to outsource AD?
              • What realistic saving can an enterprise gain by outsourcing?
              • What factors critically affect the bottom line of outsourcing?
              • Can U.S. external service providers (ESP) compete against offshore ESPs?

                      Vecchio, Dale   

                      The continued evolution of application development from internally focused applications to externally focused ones drives the march toward loosely coupled software components delivered over the Internet. But can legacy systems play a role in this new paradigm? This presentation describes techniques to identify and extract or wrap existing systems to provide Web services.

                      • How will legacy applications be used to deliver Web services over the next five years?
                      • How will application infrastructure be extended and used to support Web services applications?
                      • Which vendors and technologies will provide leading support for Web services for legacy applications?

                      Web services is becoming a viable paradigm for supporting B2B across the Internet, but how can users build Web services and other e-business applications out of established enterprise applications? With fledgling technology, conflicting standards and lack of experience, implementing Web services is a daunting prospect. Composite applications will play a pivotal role in enabling e-applications and Web services.

                      • How will organizations leverage established enterprise systems to build e-business applications and expose Internet-aware Web services?
                      • Which technologies, products and vendors will effectively support composite applications development and deployment?
                      • How will organizations exploit composite applications in a fiercely competitive scenario?

                      Blechar, Michael   

                      The turn of the millennium has seen the emergence of the next generation of architectures, especially J2EE and .NET, and Services-Oriented Development of Applications (SODA). Consistent with the demand, vendors have flocked to this market just as mainstream buyers begin their transition from the older architectures and approaches. Many are choosing a “best-in-breed” set of AD solutions. However, due to the breadth of solution needed, the greatest likelihood is that, long term, this market will consolidate down to a handful of leaders, leaving many organizations in a lurch. In this presentation, we explore the scenarios for long-term leadership, and which vendors have the greatest likelihood of survival.

                      • What breadth of solution will be required to be a long-term leader in the SODA AD market?
                      • What are the most likely scenarios for how the SODA AD market will consolidate?
                      • Which vendors will be most likely to survive the SODA AD market consolidation, and which will face the greatest challenges?


                      With so much to see and do at Symposium/ITxpo 2003, each day is like its own event.
