The 'brains' for Composite Applications.

The interactive 'face' for Composite Applications.

The Composite Applications Platform.

Corporate overview of Digital Harbor.
Market and Product Overviews

The following whitepapers provide a high level, yet holistic understanding, of Composite Applications and the Digital Harbor PiiE® Platform for users with varied technical and business backgrounds.


Synopsis: Composite Applications enable organizations to maximize the value of their existing information assets. They enable businesses to more effectively correlate and collaborate across boundaries and deliver tremendous cost savings resulting from improved operational visibility and better tactical decision-making.

Synopsis: Digital Harbor's PiiE® Platform brings information integration to the desktop by making it easy to create "composite applications" that consist of many existing back-end systems; and delivering them to end-users in a live, actionable interface.

Synopsis: Semantic technologies are "meaning-centered" rather than data or document-centered. Given a question, semantic technologies can directly search topics, concepts and associations that span a vast number of sources. The results are fast, relevant and comprehensive.

Perspective Series

The perspective series includes focused discussions of topics relevant to shaping the evolution of Composite Application technologies and approaches.


Synopsis: This animated slide show examines today's issues in the information enterprise and their symptoms. As the presentation progresses, it demonstrates how composite applications address these issues and the resulting benefits and innovations that occur throughout an organization.

Synopsis: Business users need more than static access to data that has been physically synchronized. They need context to see the impact of data in one system on data in another and the functionality to act on it.

Synopsis: Current alternatives to composite apps provide "synchronous collaboration" and "shared workspaces". However they do not facilitate long-duration activities that require dynamic workflows in the context of an application.

Synopsis: Technology trends follow a simple formula: commoditize low value and monopolize high value. Composite Applications enabling contextual decision processing will be the "high-value" technology of the new millennium.

Synopsis: The prevailing industry definition of "composite applications" emphasizes the assembly of technology components for developers to construct a new or hybrid (composite) system. While delivering architects a more flexible, insulated architecture is useful, the real end-game is coordinating pieces of information and logic in context to assist business users in deriving greater value from the information at their disposal.

Synopsis: Currently, web services are being driven by IT staffers. The value propositions are: reuse of components and easier interfaces among applications. Yet adoption is still slow, and understanding is still limited. The tipping point will occur when business buyers demand creation of services. Composite Applications provide the business case required to drive the adoption of web services.

Synopsis: As Model-Driven Architectures evolve they must go beyond design-time data modeling to run-time ontologies. These ontologies support the different elements of the enterprise infrastructure: such as processes, rules, events and messages; the semantics of the relationships among them; and the ability for users to adopt and leverage the model.

Synopsis: Financial institutions are increasingly being asked to investigate risks like the CIA does, but they are often not equipped to do so. This paper examines how financial institutions are leveraging proven national security practices.
