ITEC 116 - LESSONS 1 AND 2

Integrated Program Planning

is the process of incorporating smaller sub-systems into one larger

system to ensure they all work together.

SOAP and REST

These two are meant to simplify the integration with the large number of

support tools that are built around them

Simple Object Access Protocol

SOAP

Representational State Transfer

REST

SOAP

to ensure

that programs built on different platforms and programming languages could

exchange data in an easy manner.

REST

designed specifically for working with components

such as media components, files, or even objects on a particular hardware device.

Enterprise Resource Planning

ERP

ERP systems

specific kind of enterprise systems to integrate data across

and be comprehensive in supporting all the major functions of the organization

What is the purpose of the

project?

Who is involved in the

project?

What resources are needed?

What timeline is required?

What risks are associated with the

project?

5 STAGES OF PLANNING

System Integration

means developing information systems that allow

organizations to share data based on their

needs and authorization.

integration

providing

seamless connectivity between

heterogeneous application systems.

Logical System Integration

Allowing access to a shared resource by

people from different functional areas.

Physical System Integration

Physically connecting devices using networks.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

is the process of integrating all the physical

and virtual components of an organization's system.

physical components

consist of the various machine systems,

computer hardware, inventory, etc.

virtual components

consists of data stored in databases, software and applications.

PROGRAM INTEGRATION

essential that companies

be efficient and effective with their products and services.

Integrated systems

allow companies to accomplish something that

has alluded most to date: the linking of demand-

and supply-side functions in a way that enables

a quick and flexible response to changes in

demand.

STEPS IN INTEGRATION SYSTEM (8)

RESOURCE CATEGORIZATION

Take an inventory of various hardware and software resources focusing on vendors, operating systems platform, IS architecture used in these resources.

COMPLIANCE AND STANDARDS

Check whether the database and other technologies used in the various applications are such supporting standards as JDBC/ODBC compliance for databases.

LEGACY SYSTEMS SUPPORT

Develop a policy in support of older legacy

applications

MIDDLEWARE TOOLS

Most of the organizations will not dispose their old

systems. are essential for integration

in the short term.

AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION

POLICIES

Develop a single sign-on policy for application and

data access.

CENTRALIZED IT SERVICE AND HELP

DESK SUPPORT

Necessary to avoid support and maintenance

problems. They need to support all application and

platforms with a centralized IT help desk support

BACKUP, RECOVERY, AND SECURITY POLICY

Planning data and disaster recovery for organization's data in an integrated systems IT is crucial for building the trust and confidence for the new system

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE STANDARDIZATION

POLICY

Develop organization standards and policy on

acquisition of new hardware and software which are

aligned with organizations IT strategy.

Increased revenue and growth

Leveling the competitive environment

Enhanced information visibility

Increased standardization
