Adapter Services for SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture): Connecting Hard-to-Reach Data
Every business is faced with a critical problem: how to access business critical information scattered among islands of data and that is stored in different formats on incompatible systems.
- Converting disparate and legacy data is time consuming and costly – too expensive for most companies
- Most modern business processes still run on legacy systems with unsupported access methods, making the data hard to reach and use
- Expertise for untangling and processing legacy data is rapidly disappearing
- Existing offerings from other solution vendors concentrate only on enterprise application connectivity
- Homegrown custom-coded adapters are too complex to write and too costly to maintain
The bottom line: Converting disparate and legacy data is costly and time consuming.
We offer the following solutions for your integration challenges:
