Vodafone EAI Technology - ESB

Enterprise Service Bus - The Next Step in EAI The bus architecture sought to lessen the burden of functionality placed on a single component by distributing some of the integration tasks to other parts of the network The components could then be grouped in various configurations via configuration files to handle any integration scenario in the most efficient way possible, and could be hosted anywhere within the infrastructure, or duplicated for scalability across large geographic regions. The ultimate result - lightweight, tailor-made integration solutions with guaranteed reliability, that are fully abstracted from the application layer, follow a consistent pattern, and can be designed and configured with minimal additional code with no modification to the systems that need to be integrated Core Features Location Transparency Transformation Protocol Conversion Routing Enhancement Monitoring / Administration Security Advantages Lightweight Easy to expand Scalable and Distributable SOA-Friendly Incremental Adoption

EAI Advantages
Lower development costs Integration is simpler because systems are more loosely coupled Lower opportunity costs Integration is done more quickly corresponding cost savings reachieved sooner Lower maintenance effort significant advantage from the software engineering point of view

Real time information access among systems

Streamlines business processes and helps raise organizational efficiency Maintains information integrity across multiple systems Incorporate re-usability into your design XML deals effectively with platform and coding difference and reduces integration complexity with partners

Vodafone - Overall Result??

Increased Cost Savings

Increased Operating Profits

Integrate and Streamline Business Processes

Reduced Maintenance Efforts

Reduced Time to Markets

Real time access to Business Intelligence
