SOA-Enabled Business Intelligence

Service Oriented Architecture provides a set of guidelines and standards that allow heterogeneous data to be aggregated into a layer of commonality.  Data can then be consumed by any number of reporting tools, integrated into dissimilar applications, even absorbed to create business processes and automated workflows.  AMERICAN SYSTEMS has experience designing SOA solutions that are adaptive to complex and challenging business needs. 

Our SOA-enabled business intelligence solutions include:

  • Data Service Enablement - This is the foundational process of abstracting and transforming data into a form that is common (XML) and reusable.  One challenge of creating the layer of commonality is that data often resides in many different legacy systems.  The second major challenge is architecting a framework for managing data services once they have been deployed.
  • Business Process Automation – The automation of business processes occurs when data services have been aggregated and “wrapped” by a series of automated instructions, triggers and events through a process known as service orchestration.  AMERICAN SYSTEMS has particular expertise in business process modeling and automation of even high volume service events that require utilization SOA-aware grid computing tools and solutions. 
  • Performance Management – These solutions provide a real-time, aggregate view of multiple processes and business activities crucial to business success.  Our experience is strong in developing visually rich performance management solutions that allow our clients to monitor activities in real-time in order to improve performance and mitigate risks
