| To ensure IT capability is in tune with business needs, enterprises need a method of synchronising IT architecture with the business. To accomplish this, application integration and middleware, the system software or runtime infrastructure used to provide intra- and inter-application communication, must be used. Middleware is typically layered between an application program and the operating system and network transport service. Application integration and middleware includes software products such as message-oriented middleware, integration broker suites, transaction monitors, object request brokers and application servers. CIBER has the resources and expertise to help you use EAI to best advantage. Whether it’s integrating business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) environments with legacy systems through use of middleware (e.g. MQSeries, CORBA and MSMQ), N-tier component-based architecture and communication technologies, CIBER’s approach integrates applications and information previously isolated in individual silos, which enables these systems to efficiently share information with one another, as well as with other systems. For example, CIBER helped a large theme resort with part of its strategy to remain the premier provider of family vacations by integrating multiple systems to obtain more guest information to tailor service offerings to individual guests. The project, the largest IT and business re-engineering project in the history of the company, required CIBER to help seamlessly integrate multiple legacy systems – central reservations, tour wholesaling, sales & catering, property management, dining reservations and various marketing automations – to support the accurate and timely exchange of data across multiple systems creating a single source of data for all data. The end result was a state-of-the-art CRM infrastructure that tightly integrates critical operational touch-points and strategic analytical systems to help the client anticipate guest needs and provide better customer service, thus driving increased guest visitation and satisfaction. To further facilitate EAI, CIBER’s Enterprise Application Integration practice includes expertise in legacy migration and modernisation and systems integration and Web services. Legacy Migration and ModernisationCIBER’s approach to legacy migration and modernisation is tightly integrated with our approach to enterprise architecture and enterprise application integration. We emphasise the need to leverage the vast commercial enterprise investments currently locked in legacy systems. Our approach may include exposure of legacy business processes and applications into new architectural environments through application wrapping and Web services. System Integration and Web ServicesCIBER’s approach to comprehensive system integration and Web services emphasises analysis and design with a strong business focus. CIBER designs and delivers service-oriented, component based architectures, covering data, applications, and process integration and driven by industry best practices. We believe that service oriented architectures, including Web services,
can provide reusable, simple and standards-based access to business
objects, thereby saving money and time. These services can be exposed
through other interfaces including User Interfaces (Web, IVR, WAP,
using JSP, Servlet, XML, XSLT) and system interfaces (EDI, JCA,
Web services). |
