Integration & Business Network Platform

In a fast changing markets and business environments (M&A, restructuring, changing business models etc) of today, Adaptive Enterprises need to operate in real-time together with and in total synchronization with their network of business partners (suppliers, customers and partners). This need is strategic – its further fueled by the pace of globalization. No surprise then, as opposed to individual organizations, it is the network of businesses that are now competing with one another. The Integration & Business Network Platform provides the necessary foundation for service-oriented and webservices based Real-Time Intra- and Inter- Enterprise Business Process Integration for many-to-many relationships.

The Integration & Business Network Platform consists of 3 products and provides a complete service-oriented webservices platform for integration of intra- and inter- enterprise businesses. It provides Adaptive Enterprise the ability to Integrate seamlessly with legacy systems or third-party applications, the built-in connectors provide direct links with relational databases and XML file formats while custom connectors are deployed using the Java Connector Architecture – virtually every backend system can be integrated rapidly. Business processes are integrated (many-to-many) across multiple partners, systems and business networks. It also provides Adaptive Enterprise the flexibility of real-time integration of their local desktop data using WebServices. Additionally, you could also use it to automatically consume network WebServices in pluggable applications. You could also use it to consume webservices through browser based interface.


ReadiConnect

For an Adaptive Enterprise to operate effectively, intra-enterprise heterogeneous systems and applications need to operate seamlessly together. This requires process level integration between different applications.

ReadiConnect provides one of industry’s most flexible service-oriented integration platform for enterprise applications. Its pluggable adaptive connectors provide integration with custom applications as well as various enterprise resources and its collaboration engine provides support for message flows, data validation and transactions.

Representative Usage Scenarios

  • For intra-enterprise agility, ReadiConnect could be used to integrate applications by exposing them as webservices, while overlying ReadiOrchestra could be used to configure business processes on-the-fly.

Key Features

  • Process Collaboration Engine: Supports service-oriented message choreography between multiple applications. Supports synchronous and asynchronous processes as well as data handlers for conversion between document standards.
  • Adaptive Connectors: Provide interfaces to various backend applications using an extensible connector architecture.
  • High-Performance Engine: Ensures that solutions can scale to handle high transaction volumes.
  • WebServices Integration: Allows seamless connectivity with SOAP-based services.
  • Transaction Support & Data Validation: Allows integration with third-party resources that support transaction completion and rollbacks ensuring high quality of data.

ReadiB2Bi

To meet the demands of an Adaptive Enterprise, a real-time business process network with all the associated business partners needs to be formed (with many-to-many links). Also all the relevant business processes need to be integrated and aligned.

ReadiB2Bi provides a flexible service-oriented process integration platform for such a network of business partners to be formed. It supports process-level integration with multiple messaging and collaboration protocols and reliable messaging and transactions.

Representative Usage Scenarios

  • ReadiB2Bi could be used to enable (many-to-many) process integration between business partners. Business Analysts could then use overlying ReadiOrchestra to configure complex process-flows together with ReadiMinds Partner Manager for agile electronic collaboration. If business partner does not have webservices enabled system, ReadiDesktop allows these partners to participate in the real-time business network using desktop WebServices. ReadiStudio could be used to configure custom document handlers for inbound and outbound messages, and to deploy these services on the ReadiCORE platform.
  • For large-scale collaboration with multiple partners, administrators can manage ReadiB2Bi partner profiles using ReadiManager.

Key Features

  • Process Collaboration Engine: Supports service-oriented message choreography between multiple partners. It supports synchronous and asynchronous processes as well as data handlers for conversion between message standards.
  • Reliable WebServices Messaging: Ensures that messages are delivered reliably - in proper sequence and once only.
  • Data Validation & Full Transaction support: Service usage can be tracked and billed.
  • Billing Interface: Service usage can be tracked and billed.
  • Partner Management: Manage business partner profiles and processes.
  • Security Engine: Provides high-strength cryptography. Message confidentiality and non-repudiation is assured.
  • Open Industry Standards: Major industry messaging standards are supported for interoperability with third party systems.

ReadiDesktop

In an Adaptive Enterprise, real-time access to services is critical for the success of the business. Business users have critical information on their desktops that are often not integrated with the enterprise information systems, and this can reduce visibility of crucial information.

ReadiDesktop provides a lightweight client to & for WebServices. Its rich-client interface allows business users to search, configure and consume WebServices from anywhere in the business network. In addition, users can expose lightweight WebServices to personal data stores such as Microsoft Excel, FoxPro or MS Access. This flexibility allows the desktop users to become part of the real-time business network so that everyone can now use/provide WebServices.

Representative Usage Scenario

  • In an Adaptive Enterprise, business users need to participate in processes across the network. ReadiDesktop provides WebServices support and allows process integration with services through ReadiB2Bi. Users can also integrate with other services deployed on ReadiCORE anywhere in the business network.

Key Features

  • WebService Gateway: Supports direct access to WebServices.
  • Service Discovery (UDDI): Users can query registries for service information and description.
  • Desktop WebServices: Lightweight web server provides WebService access to personal data.
  • Desktop Integration: Integrate service information direct into desktop objects such as MS Access and MS Excel spreadsheets.
  • Data Persistency: Provide access to through offline persistent data store.
  • Application Framework: Supports the use of third party applications to process custom services. These applications can be installed from the network as plug-ins and avoids costly deployment.
