Every implemented IT system is its own small world. It has its own language, as well as specific rules and processes that are controlled by different instances. However, individual systems are always interdependent and must collaborate to serve complex business processes.
Integration for data and systems
Enterprise Application Integration
This makes data exchange between individual applications a very complex and sensitive process that can consume a lot of system resources. The solution is Enterprise Application Integration.
Why is Enterprise Application Integration beneficial?
The IT world, which has grown and evolved over decades, consists of many individual applications that extend into all areas of a company: Sales works in a CRM that accesses product information stored in a SharePoint farm. Additionally, all production processes are controlled through SAP and supplemented by small island solutions.
A diverse mix of software applications communicating with each other and sharing data is the norm.
The disadvantages: Due to data silos, data is often synchronized inadequately or delayed, making it prone to errors. This creates a significant manual workload. The differing data status makes cross-system analysis difficult without experts. Metadata is distributed across multiple systems and cannot be centrally controlled. There are also many dependencies that are not immediately visible and therefore cannot be managed. When a process is changed, the impacts and dependencies are hard to predict.
Enterprise Application Integration with novaCapta
Our Framework "Esperanto for EAI"
What does Enterprise Application Integration include?
Functional Expansion with BizTalk, Azure, or Open Source Broker
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is a huge and costly challenge in large IT environments: New systems need to be quickly and functionally integrated into the existing software landscape and embedded in business logic and language. At novaCapta, we have years of expertise and will show you how to find the best solution for your business using our framework and an established service broker (Azure Service Bus, BizTalk Server, RabbitMQ, or others). A broad team of specialists, including experts for Azure, Service Broker, or MS SQL Server, is available for the implementation of various services, applications, and architecture components.
Esperanto for Data
One of our specialties in Enterprise Application Integration is consolidating existing landscapes without dismantling or tearing apart the system. Instead of rebuilding legacy systems through complex and costly procedures, we focus on describing the transactions. With our "Generic Router & Translator" module, we map the data flow and dependencies in a very simple way. For us, the business entities and the transactions within the process are the focal point, rather than the relationships between the data.
Neural Networks with Data Vault
The interactions between systems are linked in the form of a neural network that maps data flows across systems. An agile, business-oriented database model (Data Vault) allows for the reproduction of relevant business processes. This implementation is supported by our framework and enables the establishment of a cross-system language and grammar. This makes it possible to analyze data beyond system boundaries. The use of microservices adds further benefits: It allows for quick and flexible changes, saving both resources and time.
