Establishing a reliable IT infrastructure to deliver services through new delivery
channels, such as Internet and phone, and who knows what down the line, is key to
bank CIOs nowadays. Most often, under the pressure of delivery, point to point integration
with all back end systems - whenever a new service delivery channel is being launched-is
what comes to mind. However, such solution renders CIOs with strong coupling between
applications thus high maintenance costs and extended delivery times. Alternatively,
Service Oriented Architecture calls for decoupling applications and delivery channels.
Creating an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) based on web services and open standards
creates a middle-tier that is both technology and application independent. Adding
new delivery channels becomes a short delivery cycle and a lower maintenance solution
while ensuring the scalability of your infrastructure.
At LINK Development, we have solid experience integrating with Socket based legacy
applications. We have developed our own accelerators and adapters that streamline
such communication and abstract the system details. Enabling SWIFT transactions
securely is also part of our delivered solution.
Our ESB solution is based on Microsoft BizTalk Server and Microsoft Windows Communication
Foundation. Through our ESB solution, the following benefits are realized:
- Cost savings — you would be using almost 70 per cent of the existing code for new
delivery channels.
- Short time to market—less coding requirements means IT team can add new channels
quickly.
- Technology-independent—the architecture supports applications based on any technology,
helping easily add new services.
- High scalability—The solution is architected to support your growth plans and support
your fast-growing user base
