Application Integration Strategy
ClientRegional Transportation Agency
Extensive point-to-point integration results in numerous tightly-coupled systems that are hard to evolve. An enterprise-wide application integration strategy and reference architecture are developed to ensure higher business flexibility and increased partner participation.
Case Study Overview
Initial State
Transit Scheduling, Enterprise Resource Planning, Workforce Management and other systems use proprietary integration adapters or connect directly to each other.
Target State
A unified Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) strategy, reference architecture and technology roadmap are developed to transition legacy point-to-point connections to modern integration methods based on API Management, Message-oriented Middleware, Event Stream Processing and Managed File Transfer platforms.
The EAI architecture materials provide a clear direction to the agency business units on how to design their Application Interactions, and where to deploy and manage APIs allowing to cross their domain boundaries. A number of included integration patterns provide real-world examples of how to address transit-specific use cases.
