Business Integration & SOA

Optimizing the value added by implementing reliable processes within and across company boundaries, while reducing the inherent cost of heterogeneous system landscapes truly is an interdisciplinary challenge.

Today’s organizations depend more than ever before on the automated integration of their application systems with their existing business partners. At the same time, motivation far exceeds the optimization of the distributed business processes:

• Opening up all sources of information, including the enterprise’s heterogeneous IT landscapes, for an improved and well-directed use of information as well as for an increase in production.
• Enabling the entire system to react both quickly and efficiently towards changing business scenarios, and at the same time towards market and operating department requirements.
• Developing new business ideas by use of consistent information technology application.

Integration is achieved by means of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) for enterprise services.

For more than three decades, Westernacher has integrated application systems in various branches and fields.  Our methodology is independent of the technology which is used. Our qualified consultants are established and up-to-date with the newest Business Integration trends, tools and technologies; they know which are best suited for your enterprise and its technological challenges.
