2013 Canonical Model Management Forum agenda.

Forrester’s vision for digital business design - an approach to integration that centres’ first on sustainable business outcomes and agility, unifying across application silos rather than merely making it easier to live with them. With digital business design, AD&D professionals can connect integration strategy directly to the current and future success of their business.

digitalML with their product suite igniteXML, have been a thought leader in the use of Canonical Models to deliver the vision of digital business design though the effective control of the Service Design Lifecycle. This presentation focuses on the practicalities of delivering this vision across a wide variety of business sectors.

As many large IT shops migrate their old propriety mainframe applications to commercial off the shelf offerings, they face a key integration challenge to integrate these new systems to meet their specific needs. Time to market is key for delivering a smooth transition and the expected ROI.

Using a Canonical Model to produce a standard set of services and transformations can dramatically cut project delivery time.

Having decided to adopt a canonical Model strategy the first practical step is to get to a first version of your canonical model. The work done at this stage is critical as such a model is different to anything that has gone before. Priscilla will present some of the considerations to be taken into account at this stage. She brings a rich experience and insight to this area.

Many organizations are keen to leverage the investment they have made in building services though extensive reuse. Even with the introduction of commercial Registry /Repositories they are struggling to deliver on this goal. By putting the Canonical Model Management system at the heart of the design and build time it is possible to solve the issues that manual processes supported by file based tools fail to address. Registry / Repositories then become a powerful tool for Runtime governance as the design time governance issues have been properly addressed.

The Affordable Care Act is introducing revolutionary change to the US healthcare sector. Part of this is the huge inter-agency effort to share information such as information held in the IRS tax filing systems that could relate to eligibility. Sara will present how the IRS is tackling these challenges though the use of a Canonical Service design and management system and leveraging their investment in a US TAX Canonical Model.

The logic for this approach is highly compelling; however it is a new paradigm which requires the introduction of change. Large IT organizations are often loathed to change and require strong evidence of the benefits of doing so. DigitalML and Forrester have joined together to develop an independent tool that the proponents of change can use to calculate the total economic impact to the organization of making this change. This tool will help uncover the hidden costs of the existing status quo as well as illustrating how much more agility a Canonical Model approach can deliver.
