| Globalcase Integration Solution |
Globalcase has years of experience in implementing solutions to integrate different disparate systems.
Globalcase follows 4D (Define, Design, Develop and Deploy) approach to implement the solution.
Define: This involves project planning and defining project objectives. In this phase, Globalcase EAI (Enterprise Application Integration)
architects work with customer to understand the functional as well as technical requirements, identify the integration interfaces,
integration standards and technical components to be used in the solution etc.
Design: Detail analysis and design is conducted at this stage. This stage expands the information collected during the 'Goal' phase.
Globalcase uses the sequence diagramming from UML to narrate the interaction between different systems. It prepares the different
message structures, their sequence and routing logic. It determines the various exception and error handling processes required for the
system in this phase. It prepares test plans to verify the requirements.
Develop: Globalcase developers build and test the solution at this stage. They take care of setting up the environment, configuration
control, setting up of test data.
Deploy: The Rollout phase deals with migration of the solution from the testing or staging environment into
production and post-implementation support. Globalcase resources prepare rollout plan, setup the deployment environment,
rollout the product and perform post deployment testing to verify the functionality of the system.
Globalcase delivers various design and implementation documents during the development of the system. These documents help
in further supporting or enhancing the system.
Globalcase successfully delivered a webMethod solution using above methodology in one of its current projects. It
used sequence diagramming for detailing the sequence of interactions between
different systems, XML for exchanging messages over HTTP protocol. It hosted the services in webMethod Integration Server. It placed
the IS behind the firewall to protect the services. It used Reverse Invoke Server to allow external systems to invoke the
services running on IS. This project implemented the Partner Server solution to enable multiple external systems to interact
with the Reverse Invoke server using one secured tunnel at their end, instead of each of the external system requiring a separate firewall
configuration.
