Focus of the Month - January 6, 2006 Agenda
Bridging the Digital Divide with SOA - The Blue Cross Blue Shield
of Massachusetts Case Study

Description
Today's healthcare business leaders are looking for a fast return
on new and existing IT investments, while seeking to obtain the
flexibility and security standards needed to address ever-demanding
business objectives. Many of these healthcare systems are faced
with "siloed" mission critical custom or legacy systems that are
not only difficult to replace without business risk and disruption,
but represent a substantial time and cost investment to maintain.
Coupled with the need to respond to market and legislative changes
quickly and efficiently, address mergers, acquisitions and new
business models, CIOs need the ability to leverage their existing
systems along with the ability to add new applications. Of course,
all of this must be done within budget constraints requiring IT
department to do more with less.
Analysts, business leaders, and technology officers are realizing
the ability to quickly address this challenge by leveraging a Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA). With a service-driven approach, organizations
can obtain strategic business benefits through the delivery of
time and cost-effective IT projects.
Beyond enterprise application integration, the Sun Java Integration
Suite provides the ability to deploy high-value, SOA-based high-value
composite applications on top of existing infrastructure. This
allows organizations to leverage existing IT investments while
providing a graceful means to retire legacy applications as needed,
to create new views of mission-critical data and to respond faster
to the integration of new applications.
This presentation will focus on the technical deployment of the
Sun Java Integration Suite to meet the demanding needs of one of
the nation's premier health insurers, Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Massachusetts. Attendees will benefit from an overview of the business
drivers necessitating a service-oriented architecture, the key
performance indicators of operational goals and an overview of
the technology that has brought together community care providers,
trading partners and benefit plan administrators.
