A wide range of ESB and SOA expertise
Enterprise Application Integration
We know patterns, we speak patterns, we implement patterns. We are EAI best practice
evangelists and implementers - down to the bit level - we are hands-on.
From functional specification to architectural blueprint, to editing code and tracking/fixing bugs,
integration is what we like. Nothing better than a POC if you’d like to put us to the test.
SOA Initiatives & Roadmaps
We are a small company and we enjoy it that way. It gives us the
required operational agility sought after by larger consultancies
who reach out to us as their own SMEs. We are MicroServices architects at core, Open Source ESB and API experts which positions us uniquely to support all facets of SOA
initiatives. We often carry the responsibility for the roadmap start to finish, from strategy to documentation and implementation.
ESB Implementations
We exclusively engage in integration projects and/or SOA initiatives that have selected an ESB
as the backbone of their architecture. We are experts in Mule, Talend and RedHat and can
articulate every implementation facet down to the EIP pattern and underlying implementation
class. We render multiple service levels: Architectural Design Review, SOA Blueprint, ESB code
development (specification new code or refactoring), feature enhancement, performance or
scaling issues, migrations (platform version or change of vendor), ESB cross comparative
evaluations and POCs.
ESB application migrations
We classify migrations in 4 categories:
- 1. Code migration to a newer release with the same vendor
- 2. Code migration from one vendor to another vendor
- 3. Code migration from messaging to micro-services
- 4. Code migration from on-premise to cloud or to hybrid platform.
Methodology vs. tooling: we have tested numerous converter solutions/tooling proposed by
vendors to migrate their own technology to newer releases (Cat. 1).
Our findings show that none of them are accurate.
We came up instead with a pragmatic methodology, which guarantees a
successful migration with 100% accuracy. It provides our client
organizations a solid guideline for porting code in any situation listed above. We are
confident in our approach and look forward to hearing about your use
case.
ESB Capacity Planning
Capacity planning is one the most challenging tasks in the EAI industry. No one has the magic
recipe. It takes more than common sense, it takes indepth knowledge and experience. We
have worked on a multitudes of use cases and ESBs and identified the top 10 most critical
factors to narrow down your capacity planning. Statistically we are able to provide a +/ 10%
precision level. Vendors typically double up their client needs; we help our clients being
accurate and save on unnecessary spending.
ESB Performance Tuning
We understand what ESBs are good at and where their limitations are.
We have the proper methodology and tooling to detect bottlenecks and
quantify their impact on performance degradation. We help
organizations rethink their routing, mediation and filtering approach
and leverage vendor built-in caching strategies and/or third-party
caching solutions.
ESB Evaluations
We understand what ESBs are good for and where their limitations are. We have the proper
methodology and tooling to detect bottlenecks and quantify their impact on performance
degradation. We help organizations rethink their routing, mediation and filtering approach
leveraging vendor builtin caching strategies and/or thirdparty caching solutions.
We put your ESB evaluations on autopilot. If you are not sure yet what ESB or vendor is
best suited for you, we can help narrow down your choices to one. Our team consists in handson
industry experts that have worked with ESB vendors and offer unbiased recommendations.
Each ESB comes with a level of promise and hype that we can demystify for you, having spent
months/years handson working around the undisclosed/undocumented shortcomings.
