9. Composite Applications and SOA
• Represent Presentation and
Business Process Layer entirely in
XML
• End Point Agnostic
• Technology Agnostic
• Interoperability, never rewrite
business applications again
• VBOM are well defined Contracts
between SOA and Applications
• VBOM makes New and Legacy
Infrastructure appear as a Service
• Well defined, loosely coupled
applications
• Highly flexible, maintainable and
adaptable solutions
• Easily migrate to new technology

10. Industry Alignment
Charles Goldfarb – The Father of XML Technology
On ObjectBuilders Advisory Board. ObjectBuilders is currently
the only company that Charles Goldfarb is associated with.
Originally Coined the Phrase “Markup Language”
In recognition of his work, The Society for Technical
Communication gave joint fellowships to Charles Goldfarb and
Tim Berners-Lee the founder of the World Wide Web
Government agencies are striving for higher levels of reuse and
interoperability. XML provides this for data and XML provides
this equally as well for applications

11. Software Factory Definition
A Software Factory is defined as a facility or process that assembles (not codes) software
applications to conform to a Specification following a strict Manufacturing Methodology. By
utilizing the fundamentals of industrial manufacturing – standardized components,
specialized skill sets, parallel processes and a predictable and scalable level of quality – a
true Software Factory can achieve a superior level of application assembly even when
assembling new or horizontal solutions. Just as industrialization of the automobile
manufacturing process led to increased productivity and higher quality at lower costs,
industrialization of the software development process is leading to the same advantages.
Software Factories have gained recent popularity as a cost-effective way to reduce the time it
takes to develop software. Conceptually, software factories represent a methodology that
seeks to incorporate pre-built, standard functionalities into software through configuration –
not code. A Software Factory uses a Software Manufacturing process and productivity tools
which enable this process.
Software Manufacturing is a horizontal process for the code-less assembly of any Business
Software Application from 100% proven / reusable components, exactly to specification for
an end user, that are delivered in consistent and predictable timeframes. The Software
Manufacturing process is only achieved through the use of a set of productivity tools that
allow existing components, applications, services, and systems to be easily consumed,
integrated and orchestrated into the end product without the use of custom code. If there is
any custom code in the application layer, it is not assembled and therefore it was not
created using a manufacturing approach. http://www.objectbuilders.com/software-factory-definition.html

12. Software Productivity Tools
Software Factories, assembly processes and true software
manufacturing are enabled through the use of Productivity Tools.
Simply defined, Productivity Tools allow non-developers / non-
programmers (or, in the industrial manufacturing analogy, non skilled
craftsman) to use easily acquired skills that enable them to leverage
drag and drop, snap in, or point and click methodologies to create
either specific deployable pieces of functionality, or, fully customized
solutions that conform 100% to any horizontal software specification.
Today, most organizations have adopted and utilized Software
Productivity Tools across their enterprise. This has led to dramatic cost
savings as well as the achievement of new levels of vendor, product,
back-end and end-point independence. Productivity tools are paving
the way for software factories.
