Business
applications in the current
scenario, rarely live in isolation.
The expectation of users is
a fluent access to all business
functions offered by an enterprise,
irrespective of which system
the functionality may reside
in. This requires a larger,
integrated solution, to which
disparate applications can be
connected into. Middleware provides
the "plumbing" such
as data transport, data transformation,
and routing which facilitate
integration through its use.
Most integration vendors provide
methodologies and best practices,
but these instructions tend
to be very much geared towards
the vendor-provided tool set
and often lack treatment of
the bigger picture, including
underlying guidelines, principles
and best practices.
Saigun designs and implement
integration solutions, across
the following six types of integration
projects:
|
| Many
business users have to
access more than one system
to answer a specific question
or to perform a single
business function. Some
portals require even more
sophisticated user interaction
and blur the line between
a portal and an integrated
application.
|
| Many
business systems require
access to the same data.
For example, the customer
care system , the accounting
system , the shipping
system and the billing
system, as a sequence
of a transaction . Many
of these systems are going
to have their own data
stores to store customer
related information. When
a customer calls to change
his or her address all
these systems need to
change their copy of the
customer’s address.
This can be accomplished
by implementing an integration
strategy based on data
replication using replication
functions, export data
into files and re-import
them into the other system,
or message-oriented middleware
to transport data records
inside messages.
|
| Multiple
systems may need to check
whether a social-security
number is valid, whether
the address matches the
specified postal code
or whether a particular
item is in stock. It makes
business sense to expose
these functions as a shared
business function that
is implemented once and
available as a service
to other systems. |
Service-oriented
architectures (SOAs) blur
the line between integration
and distributed applications.
Calling a service may
be considered integration
between the two applications.
A service-oriented architecture
enables calling an external
service almost as simple
as calling a local method
(performance considerations
aside).
|
One
of the key drivers of
integration is the fact
that a single business
transaction is often spread
across many different
systems. Its a business
process management component
that manages the execution
of a business function
across multiple existing
systems.
|
| Integration
frequently occurs between
business partners. Communicating
across the Internet or
some other network usually
raises new issues related
to transport protocols
and security. Also, since
many business partners
may collaborate in an
electronic “conversation”
standardized data formats
are critically important.
|
|
Most packaged and legacy applications
and many custom applications
are not prepared to participate
in an integration solution.
We need a message endpoint to
connect the system explicitly
to the integration solution.
The endpoint can be a special
piece of code or a Channel Adapter.
This is where Saigun plays the
role of an integration software
vendor.
We meticulously consider the
design trade-offs for our customers.
Our solution diagrams and descriptions
describe a solution in a vendor-and
technology-neutral language
that is much more accurate than
a high-level sequence diagram.
Saigun's Software integration
solutions support EAI projects
in two key ways. First, our
Adapter Manager and adapters
can be used to build enterprise
application integration solutions.
Rapid message transformation
and mapping, routing, and application
access is facilitated in order
to integrate disparate systems
with an absolute minimum of
custom code.
Our solutions can be easily
extended to plug into any standards-based
platform as integration architectures
evolve to support straight-through
processing initiatives and large-scale
Web services deployments.
Second, our Intuitive Adapters
extend the reach of platforms
from any standards-based framework,
to easily and quickly connect
disparate enterprise information
assets. These include packaged
applications, mainframe and
legacy systems, non-relational
data sources, e-business documents,
and more.
Our solutions allow value addition
into projects and facilitates
quick production without impacting
any future platform decision.
Saigun provides support and
integration services using Java
based connector services. The
platforms supported are
|
• |
Saigun
offers Intuitive Adapters
that are optimized to
work with BEA WebLogic
Integration application
views. These adapters
can also support BEA WebLogic
Server and the rest of
the WebLogic Platform.

Saigun
integrates easily with
WebSphere Business Integration
solutions, including WebSphere
MQ (formerly MQSeries),
WebSphere MQ Integrator
(formerly MQSeries Integrator),
and CrossWorlds. We also
have complete support
for WebSphere Application
Server.

Saigun provides
a comprehensive and easy
way to connect complex
non-Microsoft environments
to BizTalk Server 2002
and 2004. We also support
application development
with .NET and other Microsoft
technologies, using standard
interfaces such as ODBC,
OLE DB, and OLE DB.NET.
