Project Details
Client: Insurance Company
Complex Integration Needs: Including essential reportingrequirements to the state and federal government.
State Before Integration:
• Point-to-point application interactions, each developed independently
• Application integration tightly coupled and inflexible• No reliable centralized enterprise security infrastructure• Heterogeneous legacy environment, with Oracle, .NET, Visual Basic 6
and Java interfacing and exchanging data
Core Deliverables of Project
CITYTECH JBoss SOA-P Jump Start Services
SOA Assessment & Needs
SOA Strategy
CITYTECH SOA-P Jump Start Services
JBoss SOA Platform Jump Start assisted clients in
learning about and deploying the JBoss SOA Platform
within the context of their business.
Five day hands-on program provided the client with the
knowledge necessary to deploy SOA-P within their
organization
Systems Integration Assessment & Business Needs Specification
CITYTECH worked with the client’s IT and business teams to thoroughly assess the current state of systems integration along with the organization’s business needs.
