Accelerated Integration

Profile

Business ventures are constrained and prove to be successful by factors like ‘Time to market’. Your business operability and growth requires equally good timing and having an accelerated and on-time integration prevents lag and a limbo. Systems should be seamlessly deployed and accelerated for integration ensuring the hope and enthusiasm is also profited from. Integration also requires careful forward planning to ensure participants all take full use, are set to use the system with conviction and ready to grow.

Creating and sustaining a high-performance business is challenging. But experts research into high-performance organisations show they use information technology as a tool to innovate, creating more effective business models and increasing productivity. This is especially true for organisations that integrate systems and processes to achieve business objectives.

At iSource, we are committed to helping large, diverse organisations aggressively manage and enhance their operational performance by overcoming their most complex integration challenges. This is done by streamlining and connecting business processes, systems and information to be more competitive and responsive.

Despite advancing technologies and emerging standards, such as Web services, integration is no easy task. To help enable effective integration, iSource has a well defined and ever formulating set of integration tools uniquely configured to accelerate design and delivery of integration with perfectionism.

Why iSource

Our Integration process accelerates time to delivery and is not tied to one specific technology or platform, but can be applied to many leading packaged integration solutions. It can reduce architecture and design efforts by up to 300 percent and streamline the design and definition of shared object models by up to 50 percent.

Key elements of our Integration tools include technical architecture, data integration components, process integration elements and global delivery capabilities.

iSource and industry experts estimate that using the correct Integration analysis can enable:

• Reduced investment for enabling architecture deployment by up to 25 percent.
• Reduced design efforts by up to 30 percent.
• Streamlined design and definition of shared object models by up to 50 percent.
• Correctness and Cross Business cost benefit justification by upto 40 percent

Specific Services

Specific Integration Architectures and Tools

• iSource Delivery Methods for Enterprise Integration:
  Methods to enhance our ability to work with clients to focus more effectively on a business process approach. We do this by addressing integration earlier in, and throughout, the development cycle instead of the design phase; considering how our clients' business processes should integrate across multiple applications; and identifying potential areas for reuse such as defining the interfaces based on a common shared object model. The iSource Delivery Methods for Enterprise Integration support capabilities such as Business Process Management, workflow, integration portals, business activity monitoring, trading partner integration, data conversions and application integration, which can be used to implement service oriented architectures.
• iSource Integrated Services Framework:
  Although many organisations now understand the promise of service-oriented architectures, and standards-based approaches, the journey toward true business process integration remains complex and challenging. Constrained by legacy applications and by the stovepipe manner in which business processes are developed and operated, both within and between organisations, enterprises need a holistic framework to set them on a clear, actionable path to integration.
  
  The iSource Integrated Services Framework provides a technical blueprint for business-driven real-time service-oriented enterprise. The framework consists of standards-based, service-oriented tools and architecture technologies, as well as an equally important delivery methodology. The delivery methodology guides operations, data and process management, governance and rollout to ensure that business goals are achieved, with less risk and cost. The iSource Integrated Services Framework allows organisations to take a careful, layered and evolutionary approach to integration while defining, the processes needed to accommodate new technologies, transaction sets, transaction formats and data standards in the future.
• iSource Accelerator Initiatives:
  A suite of tools that is accelerating the design and delivery of integration-based business capabilities.
• iSource Integration Diagnostic Initiatives:
  A tool designed to help our clients assess their current business environment, prioritize integration investment options and create an actionable roadmap tied to strategic business objectives.
• General & Reusable Netcentric Delivery Solution (GRNDS):
  This pre-built and pre-tested J2EE architecture is based on open technology. GRNDS provides the architectural structure to address current immature Web services standards such as security and transaction management. It also provides a way to introduce standards-based components as the specifications mature.

Cross Platform - Enterprise Integration

iSource is working with clients and other industry players to promote open technologies, standards and interoperability.

Interoperable Web services help to ensure conformity to a commonly accepted set of basic technologies to maximize the benefit of Web services technology. Develop applications that do not have to be re-designed every time a problem needs to be solved. Keep costs and ongoing project sizing down by using sound Base Services and Interfaces that can commonly interact and cross work.

We are participating in a range of industry-wide activities to accelerate interoperable integration technologies such as Web services, our strength and primary company focus.
