About
Features
- Comprehensive guide to the industry best practices for managing information in an organization.
- Provides a vocabulary to allow business executives and IT architects to discuss design alternatives around information strategy, architecture and implementation.
- Bridges between Services Oriented Architecture, Business Process Management, Information Management and Analytics to ensure the right information is available just to those who need it – in a flexible and cost-effective manner.
- A collection of related design patterns with examples and illustrations that clearly explain how information should be managed within an organization.
- This book contains architectural patterns for designing information supply chains. The patterns explain how information is transformed, enriched, reconciled and redistributed along the information supply chain. The aim is to shape the way systems are integrated to create an orderly flow of information that can be reused and synchronized at key points in the processing.

Use Best Practice Patterns to Understand and Architect Manageable, Efficient Information Supply Chains That Help You Leverage All Your Data and Knowledge
In the era of “Big Data,” information pervades every aspect of the organization. Therefore, architecting and managing it is a multi-disciplinary task. Now, two pioneering IBM® architects present proven architecture patterns that fully reflect this reality. Using their pattern language, you can accurately characterize the information issues associated with your own systems, and design solutions that succeed over both the short- and long-term.
Building on the analogy of a supply chain, Mandy Chessell and Harald C. Smith explain how information can be transformed, enriched, reconciled, redistributed, and utilized in even the most complex environments. Through a realistic, end-to-end case study, they help you blend overlapping information management, SOA, and BPM technologies that are often viewed as competitive.
Using this book’s patterns, you can integrate all levels of your architecture–from holistic, enterprise, system-level views down to low-level design elements. You can fully address key non-functional requirements such as the amount, quality, and pace of incoming data. Above all, you can create an IT landscape that is coherent, interconnected, efficient, effective, and manageable.
