SOA Technologies
Complex IT landscapes in the public and private sector need to connect increasingly with distributed, heterogeneous back-end systems and integrate data that may well be incompatible. Service-oriented architectures (SOA) with distributed services as communicating components provide an ideal infrastructure for this. That’s because they simplify and standardize (cross-)platform communication between different systems and applications.
We can advise and support you in setting up your service-oriented architecture. Take advantage of our extensive knowledge of SOA technologies to tackle this strategically important task. After carefully analyzing the relevant business processes, we define and develop with you the services that will form the central component of the SOA. The modular, reusable services make available cross-system business process information and objects. In such a way, you support the realization of the process steps described in the business process management system (BPMS) with the relevant dependencies. More complex business processes can be implemented by combining various basic services (service orchestration).
Business-based Application Integration
In close cooperation with you, we design and create the required interface, integration, and messaging/routing functions. We integrate – and where necessary adapt – any services that you may already have, such as Web services. All services are then provided and managed centrally on the enterprise service bus (ESB). From here, the services of applications, systems, and other services can be called dynamically.
A service-oriented architecture set up in such a way supports your business processes and applications consistently. A specific example of where an SOA can be used is the enterprise portal, which serves as a platform for handling integrated business processes.
By integrating applications using an SOA:
- You achieve more efficient and more transparent business processes
- You protect your investments
- You reduce the cost of IT maintenance
- You reduce your future IT costs
- You become more flexible in terms of software development
Our service offering for portal technologies comprises: consulting, architecture design, software development and support.
