INGOS World – Scenarios for Risk Mitigation and Cost Reduction in Enterprise IT

In this talk Ingo Klapper presents his industry visions for Linked Data focussing on scenarios for risk mitigation and cost reduction in Enterprise IT. He describes common problems of current IT landscapes and shows how these problems can be overcome by new IT architectures using Linked Data technologies. He gives practical advice how to successfully start Linked Data projects in enterprises and presents several examples from his job experience.

Dynamic Data Layer as a Connection between Structured Data, Information and Processes

Everybody wants a process driven high flexible IT solution landscape, but process driven application and business focused IT need dynamic and harmonized data.

It is precisely this statement, however, which is currently not a living reality in companies. Evolved system landscapes and media discontinuities as well as drawn processes instead of lived processes often stand in the way of realization.  

Here is where the VALIAL process portal enters the scene, offering a solution which accepts and integrates the status quo in companies and which guarantees optimal implementation of technical requirements.

In our view, all the basic technologies are already here and available. The corresponding products and product suites built upon them are on the market. The challenges begin when one tries to assemble an optimized product landscape and a mix of systems which not only control and support but which must also be supported. By logically designing the connectivity of the individual components and ensuring the continuity of data flow, IT creates the basis for meeting customer needs.

“Make it simple” for the user. “Make it solid, fault-tolerant and scalable” for IT operations. “Make it reusable” for IT architecture. “Make it combinable” for application development. And “make it flexible” for business requirements.

The concept and implementation of an semantic data layer answers three basic questions:

• How can I combine, consolidate and harmonize my different data sources

• How can I connect my data, frontend and services with processes which should be in the ownership of the business line

• How can I provide the customer all time with the relevant data and information.

Linked Data, empowering businesses with SOA 3.0

SOA 3.0 (Service Oriented Architecture) leverages the power hidden inside information systems of organizations. In this talk, current issues are discussed when these information systems use ‘old school’ Enterprise Application Integration or Service Oriented Architecture. Attention will be paid to the following questions: What are the telling signs that current information systems will slow down organizations? What opportunities does Linked Data provide for these organizations? And finally, a Linked Data proposition is presented that creates a win:win:win, for the Linked Data professional, the customers and their ICT departments.
