Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Service Orientated Architectures (SOA)

The goal of EAI and SOA is to increase operational efficiencies and, ultimately, real-time enable key business processes within an enterprise. We can offer a number of integration platform based solutions that will real time enable your business.

Integration platform based development

A number of vendors now offer functionally rich integration suites that provide messaging, business process automation, workflow, portals and other functions. Integration platforms provide services to help companies integrate both internal applications and external trading partners within a single standardised environment. We offer knowledge and development experience of all major commercial vendors, including:
• SAP Netweaver XI 3.0
• TIBCO
• JMS based platforms, e.g. Fiorano, Sonic Software

Web Services Management

Generally, web services are categorized as for either public or internal consumption. Publicly exposed web services (gateways) require greater sophistication than internal web services because of the extra demands imposed from interacting with external partners. Our extensive experience developing public gateways based on an integration platform allows an enterprise to:
- Develop internal web services independently of the interface requirements of external partners,
- Develop public gateways that isolate the interface,
requirements of external partners from internal services,
- Develop B2B exchanges using industry standard vocabularies for XML document exchanges,
- Plug & play internal web services without changing code,
- Enhance perimeter security to protect internal systems from external threats

Gateway/B2B development

With their message based architectures, built-in support for XML/XSLT and web service capabilities, integration platforms have proved ideal tools in developing, managing and monitoring gateways/portals/B2B exchanges.

B2B

B2B exchanges automate the exchange of information between external trading partners by leveraging open, industry standard vocabularies for e-commerce, supply chain integration, e-procurement and document exchange. Most integration platforms provides out of the box support for the following standards: cXML, ebXML, RosettaNet.

Internal Application Integration

Do "More with Less"

We will maximise the value of your existing software investments by unlocking core business logic into a standardised platform. This delivers shorter integration projects, improved operational efficiencies and the ability to incrementally evolve your business into a real-time enabled (RTE) enterprise, in effect, doing “more with less”.

Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

We can develop an Enterprise Service Bus for your organisation that allows all your systems and applications to be integrated using the integration platform, web services, third party adapters and security products

Asynchronous Messaging

An asynchronous messaging infrastructure provides support for guaranteed delivery of messages, once only delivery of messages, failure recover, scalability, management and configuration and Security.

Event Enabled Enterprise

We have developed a real time event bus which add event capture technology to your integration platform. Non-intrusive event listeners detect, capture and publish changes in state of underlying systems to an enterprise wide, real time, event bus implemented in the your integration platform

Business Process Modelling

BPM orchestrations model business processes as flow of data between a series of connected services, e.g. an orchestration might model the movement of debtor information from an CRM system to an ERP system

Real-time Data Synchronization

By combining our a real time event bus and BPM orchestrations we can detect changes in state of underlying systems and initiate automated data migrations that synchronize data across different systems in real time, e.g. invoices, purchase orders.
