- The Business Process Execution Language standard is a critical differentiator for successful SOA implementations. BPEL is the standard for comprehensive process orchestration. It enables enterprises to improve efficiency by automating manual intensive business processes. It allows companies to prioritize which systems to enable with web services, and then to coordinate and deploy Web Services and business processes. It provides the answer to the critical question of "How" to leverage the functionality in developing a service-oriented architecture.
- As companies revisit projects that were once frozen due to a lagging economy, integration is at the forefront. Businesses continued during the recent downturn but technology didn’t keep up due to a general lack of funding. That table is now turned and IT departments are tasked with catching up to their business counterparts. The most important and common projects heavily involve the integration of systems. These are business-to- business integration projects involving clients and their customers, suppliers, distributors and partners. As well, integration includes internal application-to-application projects where ERP systems are supplying data or requiring data from custom and legacy systems. TechStone has helped clients integrate their internal procurement systems with their customers and suppliers and we have helped our customers and led industry teams such as PIDX standards committees to establish best practices for all of the industry. Transactions are consequently automated and business processes streamlined. The costs of doing business are greatly reduced at the invoice and purchase level. TechStone has also helped clients integrate their numerous ERP systems, which span the world. Financial processes that once took hours to days now take only seconds. These heterogeneous systems that previously couldn’t share data can now transfer and process critical business information. TechStone solves these problems for clients by providing:
- Application synchronization
