DataPower Project Definition Workshop

Untangle Your Costly IT Complexity

WebSphere® DataPower SOA Appliances are a key element in IBM's holistic approach to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). These appliances are purpose-built, easy-to-deploy network devices to simplify, help secure, and accelerate your Business Integration initiatives.

Before implementing any Business Integration solution, you need to fully understand the scope of your needs. Lighthouse’s certified Business Integration professionals can provide an in-depth Project Definition Workshop at your location to help you outline your current environment, determine your Business Integration and security objectives, and define a roadmap to achieve these objectives.

• Easy to configure, operate, and own, DataPower reduces the operational complexity of the IT environment while cutting costs and risks.
• DataPower can parse and transform arbitrary binary, flat text, and XML messages, including EDI, COBOL Copybook, ISO 8583, CSV, ASN.1, and ebXML. Unlike approaches based on custom programming, DataGlue technology uses a fully declarative, metadata-based approach 
• DataPower includes rapidly configurable Web Application Firewall security to protect against cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and a wide variety of XML threats.

The Lighthouse Project Definition Workshop includes:

• Interviews with your staff
• Use-case analysis
• Risk assessment
• Diagrams of the proposed solution

During the workshop, the Lighthouse team will work with your technical and management teams to jointly explore the most essential questions about your goals, IT environment, security issues, project timeline and more. In addition, Lighthouse will create a detailed Statement of Work, outlining the hardware, software and services required to implement the project as designed during the workshop.
