Traditional SaaS Integration Approach

Limitations of a Quick Point-to-Point SaaS integration solution

1. Not part of a business process

2. Lacks the human workflow element

3. Static data, usually limited real-time synchronization

4. Minimum exception handling capability

5.

No ability to define business rules6. IT involvement required in modifying or upgrading solution

7. Lack of Reusability (not SOA based)

New approach to Integration

PROCESS CENTRIC

SERVICES BASED

Overall solution is represented as a process flow

with distinct steps (Services)

Each Service is a discrete business function that is

automated

Each Service is made up of one or multiple run-time

components

Services contain business, data validation, mapping

and connectivity rules

Services are not embedded in the solution but are

saved as objects in repository

Take a complete business process view of the

solution, not just integration

Services are available for future projects


13/25


13

New approach saves time and reduces risk

Process oriented view of overall solution

Heavy involvement of business analysts in documenting processes,

identifying business rules and improving overall process

Services-based, modular architecture of solution

Minimal custom code

Key Steps in implementing solution:

Look at the whole business process rather than just integration touch-points Model Process

Break the process into distinct business functions Identify Services

Create these Services and save them in a repository Library of Services

Sequence and connect the Services to automate the process Orchestrate Services
