Enterprise Integration

To keep up with the fast pace of business and escalating customer demands, organizations must have the agility to respond quickly to change. However, doing so requires an enterprise architecture that allows information to flow seamlessly between departments and across geographies. That's easier said than done in most companies, where information "silos" caused by legacy applications and a diverse IT architecture prevent smooth information flow.

MSU's Enterprise Integration practice provides a structured information processing and delivery framework that has helped leading global organizations break down information barriers across the enterprise. Our comprehensive suite of Enterprise Integration services delivers an end-to-end solution that addresses the four critical elements of business operations: business, people, process and IT.

MSU offers Enterprise Integration solutions in three areas:
• Enterprise application integration (intra-enterprise)
• B2B and B2C integration
• Legacy integration.


Enterprise application integration projects can be extremely challenging. We have established an impressive track record of delivering proven integration and e-business services. Our integration technology expertise includes middleware products, applications and tools, and is complemented by in-depth knowledge of ERP, SCM, CRM, SRM, data warehousing and e-commerce.

In addition, MSU has forged strategic partnerships and alliances with Oracle further strengthening our integration expertise. All together, we put our exceptional expertise, alliances and methodologies to work for clients, delivering comprehensive integration solutions tailored to meet business-specific goals

Big Data Enablement

Leveraging your data can help you improve your business intelligence capabilities, develop better processes, grow revenues and create differentiated user experiences. Getting there starts with gathering the right data, breaking down the silos, integrating it, and making it usable, but the real magic comes when you translate data into useful insights and products.

At MSU, we combine our expertise in data and emerging technologies with proven methodologies to help you develop your data strategy, gather and integrate your data, and analyze and incorporate insights into your products, services, processes, and software systems.

We can expedite your data initiatives, help you avoid pitfalls, demonstrate short-term success, and transfer knowledge into your organization.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

In the current business climate, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has emerged as a potentially attractive solution for helping enterprises to become more flexible in achieving the vision of a collaborative and process centric organization. Designed from a services perspective and implemented as a set of loosely coupled systems, an SOA can help enterprises integrate disparate applications.

As you get ready to re-look at your enterprise IT infrastructure as part of your modernization exercise, with a view to enable business process flexibility at an incremental cost, MSU can help you with our spectrum of SOA services.

MSU takes a structured approach to delivery, and draws on its years of expertise in architecture and design, skill-sets on various standards, technologies and platforms related to J2EE, .NET, Web Services, MOM, CORBA, Integration, BPM and Security, as well as industry domain knowledge to deliver high value to customers. MSU has developed migration methodologies, templates and an Enterprise Architecture Framework, to move existing applications to a service-oriented model.

Our offerings encompass assessment, planning, architecture design, development, implementation and governance.

SOA Strategy and Roadmap

Testing
• The inherent complexity in Service Oriented implementations demands a detailed testing process which would include process, code and design reviews apart from unit and regression testing for processes and services with the help of integrated testing framework. MSU's SOA strategy is as follows:
• Test through development
• Testing from service provider and consumer views
• Testing from different functional units - components, services, metadata, web services, business process and composite applications
• Automated, iterative and continuous testing of each functional unit at periodic intervals
• Automated scenario based testing for business processes.

Business Rule Management (BRM)

When an organization’s business knowledge is not formally defined, it is applied inefficiently and inconsistently. An organization also runs the risk of losing valuable intellectual property when critical business knowledge is buried in code and either inaccessible to key decision makers or limited to personnel who may retire or resign.

The reality is that IT cannot keep up with the rate at which business policies and decisions change today. Business and IT need to find a new way to bridge the communications gap to keep its competitive edge. This can be achieved through a well-defined vocabulary and declarative interpretation of business rules that everyone can read and understand.

You can address these problems directly with a Business Rules and Process Management System. By extracting critical business decisions from your application source code, you can ensure they’re consistently followed by all levels of your organization. You can also reduce “tribal knowledge” by collecting vital business information in a centrally managed location.

We can help you keep your business decisions and the organization’s policies, procedures, and guidelines independent of procedural programming languages and database storage.

This allows you to:

• Establish one set of rules that solves the same problem in different programs
• Enforce version and date rules, allowing for a complete audit trail for compliance
• Understand how your business is operating by evaluating decisions independent of programmers

Business Process Management (BPM)

As increased competition and continuous pressure to enhance shareholder value, drive organizations to continuously augment and ameliorate their products and services. there is also a heightened need for enterprises to comply with changing regulations and adopt good governance practices. Enterprises which hope to survive in this fiercely competitive environment need to be highly efficient, effective, agile and flexible. This is possible only if processes which underpin an enterprise function exhibit these traits.

These and other challenges are driving the adoption of 'process approach' in enterprises. The advantage of taking a process centric approach has been well-documented and most organizations having a process framework in place have reported an increase in operational efficiencies, customer satisfaction and corporate profits.

The 'process framework' or business process approach tends to look at the value chain business process and seeks to optimize this by driving out inefficiencies due to sub optimal processes to design an end to end optimized process.

MSU's Business Process Management (BPM) consulting services enable enterprises to incorporate KPI driven, process centric agile solutions that help organizations address need for end-to-end visibility, process discipline, process flexibility and process management.

Our service offerings around BPM include:

Process Consulting Services
• BPM strategy and roadmap
• Product evaluation and selection
• Business process modeling
• Process re-engineering & optimization


Process Implementation Services
