Use the methodology described in this chapter to describe the challenges and criteria for solutions that should be used in developing an integration strategy for the following scenarios: A financial services company has grown by acquistion and has multiple systems for customer account data. The company does not want to replace these systems because the different lines of business have different operating requirements. The company has decided to build a data warehouse to consolidate all customer data into one system and wants to have the first iteration of the data warehouse available within 1 year. There is also an initative to evaluate, select, and implement a CRM application within 2 years, and of course SOA is on the roadmap for some nebulous date in the future. A bank wants to migrate off its old mainframe IMS-based proprieatry application to a new UNIX DB2-based application. The CIO wants to have the new application loaded and operational within 1 year, but there are so many critical reporting interfaces to the old application that they cant all be rebuilt within 1 year. The IT department is recommending that the new application become the master and feed information back to the IMS slave application, which will then feed the reporting interfaces. Company A manufacturers athletic wear sold around the world. Regional distributors maintain inventory and stock local stores. Throughout the year, Company A swithes it smanufactugint to season-appropriate clothing. But different regions, especially in differnet hemispheres, have different seasons. Company A , located in North America, may change from summer clothes to winter clothes just when South America is going into its ummer season. The regional distributors get stuck with out-of-seaon inventory that might be useful to another distributor. The goal of the project is to help the regional distributor share inventory information so they can request inventory from other regions, and to help Company A prepare a more accurate picture over tiem of what type of apparel is needed when. The regional distributors are not currently network-connected with Company A but have some level of access to the Internet-they can get to a website and download/upload information. Connectivity is expected to improve in the future.
