Integration in the Real World

As organisations have grown, so has the need to deploy multiple applications and platforms to fulfil the specific requirements of the organisation’s business needs.  For example, accounting has its own systems, as does finance, sales and manufacturing.  Most applications are run independently with little or no integration among them.

Integration projects have focused on the development of interfaces for specific applications to meet an immediate business need.  Each integration project is usually conducted in isolation, essentially reinventing the wheel time and time again.  The result is considerable costs due to lack of commonality and the increased effort required to maintain unrelated interfaces.

To solve such issues Intergen has used Microsoft BizTalk Server in both the private and public sector for the last 18 months.  Projects have included the integration of disparate internal systems into a common XML driven standard, through to the automation of a previously manual paper driven business process.

Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002 allows organisations to connect disparate systems together in a common framework eliminating the traditional problems of point to point interfaces.   Using standards like electronic data interchange (EDI), XML, and SOAP, BizTalk Server 2002 ensures flexibility and interoperability with any business partner regardless of their choice of application, platform, or transport.

Using BizTalk a complex process such as fulfilling a purchase order can be automated.  The PO must be received and processed – often requiring information to be passed between a number of systems including inventory, financial and CRM applications.  BizTalk can bind these systems together, controlling the entire process from PO receipt to inventory, financial and CRM updates, through to the sending of an Invoice for that order.

Previously separate interfaces would have existed between each system, unrelated to a particular order.  BizTalk enables a process such as a Purchase Order and Invoice generation to be managed as a single entity allowing an organisation access to real-time data on the progress of orders.
