Enterprise Application Integration

Best viewed as a pattern-based architectural approach, our Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) services apply a deep understanding of middleware solutions and styles of integration to help clients manage complex, real-time integration demands. We help clients leverage their existing technical infrastructures while integrating the new services necessary to remain competitive.

Our EAI services help clients remain on the competitive edge by integrating their business processes end-to-end across the organization and with key partners, suppliers, and customers to enable them to respond with speed to customer demands, market opportunities, or external threats. Our services include integration business case and ROI, integration readiness and strategy, integration architecture, integration solution implementation, and business process integration and automation.

Portals, Content and E-commerce

Our portals, content and e-commerce services include consulting and integration for portal-based solutions with particular focus on web content management, enterprise content management, imaging, document management, and digital media. Web content management services range from managing the content lifecycle to technical implementation. Enterprise content management covers document management, electronic forms, imaging, digital media, consulting and integration solutions. The workplace portal shrinks the world by putting the user two clicks away from any information, application, or person. Basic e-workplace services include search, collaboration, personalization, expertise identification, and connection to key applications.
