TOPIC 1: Integrating Disparate Applications

Change the way you look at integration, to do more with application integration:

- Quickly and easily develop workable deployment strategies and overcome implementation challenges;
- Take advantage of pre-built components to assemble Integration – instead of coding;
- Integrate existing ESBs and make different middleware vendors products work together;
- Integrate disparate applications such as ERP systems (eg. SAP) and SOAs (eg. WebSphere, Tibco, etc)
- Rapidly implement new (and change existing) business processes;
- Compose intelligent, agile business-level services;
- Monitor and manage your infrastructure to avoid integration chaos
- Examples of iWay connecting the front-office to the back-office and utilising integration to improve relationships with customers, partners and the supply chain.
- Case studies include Coty Inc., Alcoa (Novelis) and BT
- iWay codeless integration for 300+ data, application and technology sources including: SAP, JD Edwards, WebSphere, Tibco, WebLogic, DB2, Oracle, PeopleSoft, .Net, MQ, SOAP, e-business sources like EDI, ISO & SWIFT, CICS, Sybase, Biztalk and legacy mainframes to name a few

TOPIC 2: Securing & Centralizing all File Transfers

How to use Application Adaptor Architecture to Secure and Centralize all External and Internal File Transfers.

- Learn how to integrate your security architecture with your application architecture
- Many organisations have multiple gateways to their trading partners to transfer files.  Separate gateways for multiple FTP servers, for ERP systems, for web servers, SOA, databases, some with leased lines, VANs, VPNs, proxy servers etc.
- Use managed file transfer, application adaptors and appropriate architecture and best practices to achieve outcomes such as: reducing operations costs, further embracing the internet, providing additional business/application functionality, and addressing critical requirements of security, reliability, flexibility, automation, operations lock down, corporate governance, and government regulation compliance
- Multi-tier security architecture and network zones
- Adaptor (and optional ESB) integration for file transfers
- Data and file transformation
- Data and file validation
- File process automation
- Event acknowledgement and guaranteed delivery
- How to achieve (or retain) the upmost security, yet still embrace SOA
- Examples using Tumbleweed SecureTransport iWay Gateway

SPEAKERS:

Todd MacDonald
from Australia and USA  - CTO for Information Gateways and a world expert in secure managed file transfer. Todd has worked for 20+ years in the USA security industry for companies like Tumbleweed, Reconnex, Checkpoint Software, Federal Reserve Bank, and has consulted to many Australian, NZ and USA enterprise customers in architecting secure content delivery solutions (inbound and outbound). This includes the evolving Data Leak Prevention (DLP) market

Paul Fearon from UK - international business support manager for Information Builders / iWay. With 20+ years experience in IT, Paul began working with Information Builders in the late 90s on Y2K and Euro conversion projects. After a few ETL manager projects, he specialised in middleware technology and became iWay MQ Interface Product Manager. This product line grew into MQSI support. When IBM GS wanted iWay to investigate the possibility of handling HIPAA messages in the newly branded WebSphere MQ Integrator product (formerly MQSI), Paul moved from supporting plug-in interfaces in MQSI to the iWay service manager, building an eBusiness product suite (HIPAA X/12 being the first product). He built the iWay eBusiness team adding SWIFT, EDIFACT, X12, HL7, UCCnet (now 1SYNC), FIX, AS1, AS2, AS3 protocols and ebXML.  Having pioneered many iWay achievements over the years, Paul is now responsible for international sales support and has a wealth of technical and customer-facing experience. He is the ideal presenter to help change the way you look at integration.

David Partridge, is technical services manager, Information Builders / iWay in Australia, and was previously professional services manager, SeeBeyond in Australia. David has many years experience with middleware technology and SOA.
