Business Challenges
8
Business Challenges
3PAR uses a third party service provider to perform installation and maintenance.
3PAR uses the service request capabilities of the Oracle eBusiness Suite.
No synchronization mechanism exists between two service request systems resulting in:
- Duplicate data entry - Data integrity issues- Lack of timeliness in data accuracy- Reduced efficiencies- Data Inconsistencies

Idhasoft’s approach and solution
10
Idhasoft's Solution/Approach
Idhasoft’s solution enabled a bi-directional integration of service request information between 3PAR and the third party service provider.
List of business entities synchronized:
- Service request information - Customer Master - Install Base Records
Any addition or update to these business entities were synchronized in real time.

Idhasoft’s proposed solution architecture

Solution Architecture
• Standard APIs from Oracle CRM were used to interface the data into Oracle CRM
• Staging table enabled the transformation of data to the required format
OracleCustomer support
(Base tables)
SR Staging Table
Oracle SR Creation API’s and validations
Anacomp CRM System

Cavaya's Solution/Approach (Cont…)
Technology Used : BPEL based Business Process Manager (BPM) Server, BPM Console & BPM Security Layer, Web Services & Oracle Database
With the current data load, the Cavaya integration solution saved 200+ man hours per month for 3PAR. Besides these savings, the integration solution also allows access to up-to-date information to the 3PAR customer service division resulting in an overall better customer satisfaction.

Key business benefits

Key Business Benefits
Saved 200+ man hours of work load
Increased visibility of service request status and history
Elimination of duplicate data entry
Open architecture
Architecture can be rolled out to other Service Providers using any of the protocols (Web Services, ftp….)
Rapid Development – Reduced implementation time by 50%
17
Key Benefits of BPEL based Service Oriented Integration
The power of an open standard - By capturing business processes in BPEL, avoid vendor lock-in. BPEL is to business process management what SQL was to data management
Unparalleled visibility and administration - The BPEL Console helps visually monitor the execution of each BPEL process, drill down into the audit and view the details of each conversation or debug a running flow against its BPEL implementation
Dramatic cost savings - The Oracle BPEL Process Manager is 60-80% less expensive to buy and maintain than traditional EAI solutions.
Systematic Reuse as each BPEL process, in turn, becomes yet another compose-able standards based web service
18
Key Benefits of BPEL based Service Oriented Integration (Cont…)
Service Oriented integration approach is much more flexibility and is agnostic of underlying run-time container as opposed to traditional EAI approach
SOA Environment - modular and reusable business services are orchestrated in a Model-Driven Declarative manner
19
Lessons Learned in implementation
20
Lessons Learned
• Need to involve client business analysts with a good grasp of business processes
• Availability of knowledge base – Challenging as this is new technology.
• ESB was not available when the project begun.
• Conversion WSDL when imported from .NET to JDeveloper was posing errors.
• XML format posed challenges in .NET to receive. We had to fix using creative methods.

Client’s future roadmap
22
Future Roadmap for 3PAR Service Oriented Integration
Employ ESB (Enterprise Service Bus): To create canonical data model by virtualization of service endpoints -Applications transparent to the business process and makes the business process highly reusable.
Employ BAM (Business Activity Monitoring) for defining and measuring critical business process KPIs.
Employ Business Rules Engine (BRE) for making the end-to-end business processes more flexible and dynamic.
