Business Introduction

1. Business Introduction to
StreamEPS Line of Products.
SoftGene Technologies
(Business Series)
By Frank Appiah, CTO
© SGT GH. 2012

2. Long-term Goal
● Customers/Partners will demand from SGT
GH to:
– Drive the adoption of StreamEPS market.
– Drive the adoption of CEP/DSMS/IFP
technology.
● Improve the service quality for increased
customer satisfaction.
● Help meet the demands of customers for
increased customer satisfaction.

3. Customer Requirements
● The requirements of customers
– Ability to publish, search for, evaluate and
register as a consumer of a service.
– Sufficient variability in service function to
customer needs.
– Ability to guarantee the availability and
lifetime of a service version.
– Mechanisms for decoupling the con-
sumer's life cycle from the provider's.

4. Fulfilling
Customer Needs
● The main attributes of the product
– Reuse Consistency
– Efficiency
– Lower cost and Time-to-market
– Agility, Flexibility and Business Alignment.
– Application and Data Integration

5. Reuse of Software
● The holy grail of open source software is
much dependent on reuse of services.
● The components in the services provide a
live up promise to the marketeers.
● Better architectural requirements for
effective software reuse.

6. Efficiency of Design
● A product dependent on open source
platform derives much exhibited support
from the community.
● The derivation of support of large base
community increases product efficiency in
contrast to “Build IT”- Build Internal
Technology.
● Efficient means to build more functionality,
in less time, at less cost.
● A layered set of services for service
composition.

7. Agility, Flexibility and
Business Alignment.
● Ability to snappily compose applications
from those services.
● Achieving agility and efficiency requires an
easily searchable catalog of functions.
● A catalog of available services.

8. Lower Cost and Time-to-
market
● Design-Time service discovery helps
identify a service endpoint for a requested
interface to enable lower cost of
development.
● Governance is provided for regulating
service definitions and enhancements via
Spring.
● Guidelines, templates, checklists and
examples make it easy to conform to
governance requirement.
● Good governance increases time-to-
market.

9. Application and Data
Integration
● Application Integration is dependent on
EAI (Enterprise Architecture Integration) to
implement application integration.
● Data Integration is provided also by EAI
and also with data formats like XML and
JSON for interoperability with different
software and platform technologies.
● For example, .NET to Java will demand
data formats like XML/JSON.

10. Cost Analysis
● Development Cost Equation:
Cost EPS Platform(IT)= FC + rA is the total
mixed cost.
– FC : Fixed Cost
– r: Variable Rate
– A: Activity Level Cost
● Fixed Cost includes committed fixed costs,
discretionary fixed costs.

11. Cost Analysis II
● The “engineering approach” to cost
analysis is based on industrial engineers
evaluation of the inputs required to carry
out a particular activity and the price of
those inputs.
● Activity is measured in terms of the
volume of services provided by the
organisation.

12. Financial Advantages
● The total cost of ownership is not practical
to platforms.
● Developing products with platforms will
enhance time-to-market and increase
total-cost of product ownership.
● Open platforms provides transparency for
services to compose applications that
other platform vendors need to compete
with but the solution is already out there.
● Why reinvent the wheel?

13. Strengths and Advantages
● The special features and advantages of the
product are grouped under:
– Context Engine
– Service Context
– Management

14. Context Engine
● The context engine provides an engine for
processing
– Segment-Oriented
– Temporal-Oriented
from any data source streams.

15. Service Context
● A run-time server that provides
– Run-time Context Service
– Filter/Aggregation/Pattern Services
● Filter:
● Aggregation:
● Pattern: Trend Analysis, Threshold
Assertions, Modal Assertions, Logic
Assertions.
● Service Listeners
– Security Provisioning
– Transport Services: HTTP/JMS/TCP(IP)

16. Management
● Run-time Context Management
● Configuration Management
● State Management
● User Management
● Meta-data Management
● Big-data Management

17. Next Steps of Action
● Creating a StreamEPS market
● Acquiring more funds to expand business
and products.
● Creating partnerships with market vendors.
● Strengthening the licenses of products and
submitting for IP/Copyrights.
