Integration

The evolution of Enterprise Application Integration to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has seen new interest in the integration space and has yielded real benefits and cost savings for companies across industries.

Dimension Data is a veteran in integration, with international experience and a deep understanding of SOA, which sets us apart from the rest of the players within both the local and the international systems integrator and provider market.

We are equally comfortable with open source and closed source SOA enablement platforms (JBoss, OpenESB, ServiceMix, Oracle SOA Platform to name but a few). This means that our solutions are driven by “a best fit approach” to your business requirements needs and not by a specific technology set.

In SOA, autonomous, loosely-coupled and coarse-grained services, with well-defined interfaces, provide business functionality and can be discovered and accessed through a supportive infrastructure. SOA is an architectural approach built around existing technologies – allowing for:

• Internal and external system integration

• Flexible reuse of application logic

• End-to-end business processes

• Advocates a set of practices, disciplines, designs, and guidelines

• Encourages developing services around existing business functions
