Enterprise Architecture & Integration

Enterprise Architecture & Integration (EAI) refers to the integration and merging of applications and data from various new and legacy systems within an enterprise. It takes on an assembly approach quite distinct from the traditional 'from scratch' development, ensuring that applications are well positioned within a larger, end-to-end architectural framework.

MphasiS offers services ranging from analysis of systems and business processes, creation of IT architecture strategy and roadmaps to devising messaging standards and implementing complex integrations across core systems and channels. We also undertake technology evaluations and audit of existing technical architectures. Our skills, resources, experience and management provide a potent combination to ensure successful and cost-effective integration on an enterprise-wide scale.

Our services include

• Integration process analysis
• ROI analysis
• Defining enterprise EAI strategy and roadmap
• Designing EAI architecture
• EAI technology evaluation and recommendation
• Implementing EAI by interfacing existing applications, data and content sources to middleware (adapters, connectors, message enabling)
• Roll out and deployment framework
• Testing, maintenance and support of the application integration infrastructure

Technologies

We work with technologies like Message Oriented Middleware (MOM), Process Automation, Workflow and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) from organizations such as IBM, TIBCO, BEA, webMethods, Fiorano and others. We have extensive expertise with industry specific messaging standards such as SWIFT, FIX (XML), IFX (XML) and ISO 8583.

EAI Framework

Our Enterprise Integration Framework helps define a base technical architecture for any EAI engagement. This framework defines services that are commonly required for an EAI solution and encompass Message Brokers, Enterprise Data and Information Bus, Partner Integration Hubs as well as Process Automation.

Project Approach

We develop systems in the context of functional and technical architecture, thereby ensuring proper positioning and interfacing of applications in a 24x7, real-time environment. Integration is achieved through the optimal use of best-of-breed third party products. We develop external interfaces and model system flows.

EAI Benefits

• Increased operational efficiency
• Flexibility and adaptability
• Increased ROI of current IT investments
• Ease of accommodation of newer technologies
