Enterprise Integration

Does your company rely on diverse, incompatible applications that make it difficult for local or global workforces to do their job?

For example, when you hire a new employee, application integration may need to occur on many levels. Perhaps HR needs to interact with Payroll to issue a signing bonus. This could require the integration of different applications manipulating multiple data sources through application business logic—all in the context of a business process.

Sanework has the expertise to help you integrate the applications within your organizations, as well as with your customers and suppliers, to create seamless business processes that increase business agility. Our solutions use a secure, reusable, and adaptable service-oriented architecture based on Microsoft’s Business Process Integration platform.

The quality and execution of your business processes are ultimately a measure of your company’s success and can directly impact your revenues.

Sanework can work with you to automate and manage your critical business processes in ways that will reduce costs and improve performance. We can also help you develop “sense and respond” monitoring processes that automatically identify potential problems—a compliance issue, for example—and make timely adjustments to the appropriate business processes so that the business impact is minimized.

Is your business data stored in multiple, incompatible systems? If so, then you are probably not gaining its full value, as employees can’t fully access and integrate it for maximum business impact.

For example, perhaps a client’s order size drops from historic levels. That information, contained in your ERP system, might provide new business insights—if it were coupled with customer data from your CRM application. This scenario could require the consolidation of customer data from both systems into a data warehouse for reporting and intelligent analysis.

Sanework can help you improve the quality, integration, timeliness, and availability of mission-critical data that supports your business activities.

Most companies have large quantities of unstructured information—text, graphics, tables— in varying formats that may be difficult to access, integrate and share.

For example, having up-to-date product information on your corporate website is essential to business, but keeping it current can be labor-intensive and error-prone. The web service might start by looking up a product description in the ERP system. It then needs to retrieve product images from a SharePoint server, get the product-pricing matrix from a relational database, and perhaps provide a URL to a blog about the product.

Sanework can help you develop timely, integrated views of the structured and unstructured information within your organization and from external sources, providing greater access to potentially valuable knowledge that supports work processes and decision-making.

Service-Oriented Architecture

Today’s constrained IT budgets often require that key features in legacy systems be reused rather than replaced. This means IT managers must find ways to integrate features of programs that were originally developed as standalone applications.
Sanework can help you meet this challenge. We are experts in Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), an application model that promotes the reuse of software features and simplifies the integration of those features into configurable business processes. With SOA, you can leverage your investment in existing systems by exposing their functionality to other applications as reusable services, which can then be configured into new composite systems.

Service-Oriented Architecture enables a truly agile enterprise in three key ways:

• Reduced IT costs: SOA takes a non-proprietary, cross-platform integration approach based on Web Services and related XML technologies.
  
• Improved business operations: SOA supports the configuration of automated business processes, such as “sense and respond” environments, which can be monitored, analyzed, and adjusted to continually improve organizational efficiency.
  
• Faster market responsiveness: SOA helps IT teams respond more quickly to changing business needs, because they don’t have to build new features from scratch as business conditions evolve.

Sanework has the proven expertise, tools, processes, and best practices needed to ensure your SOA effort is successful. We can help you assess your current environment, identify features in existing applications that could be leveraged more broadly, prioritize the opportunities to focus on those most beneficial to your business, create a well-defined implementation plan, and then execute it in a timely, cost-effective fashion.

Organizations need an easier way to mitigate interface complexity and reduce integration and maintenance costs while increasing functionality, transparency, efficiency, and agility.

Sanework’s SAP Integration solution helps customers gain a competitive advantage in their market by connecting disparate systems and processes with a unifying architecture. The solution delivers reliable and scalable enterprise integration necessary to support mission critical SAP applications.
