Eon Technologies - Services and Workflow

SOA is an architectural style for building software applications that uses services available in a network such as the web. It promotes loose coupling between software components so that they can be reused. Applications in SOA are service-based. A service is an implementation of well-defined business functionality, and such services can then be consumed by clients in different applications or business processes.

SOA-based applications are distributed in multi-tier applications that have presentation, business logic, and persistence layers. Services are the building blocks of SOA applications. While any functionality can be made into a service, the challenge is to define a service interface that is at a right level of abstraction. Services should provide coarse-grained functionality.

Realising SOA with Web Services
Web services are the software systems designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. This interoperability is gained through a set of XML-based open standards, such as WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI. These standards provide a common approach for defining, publishing, and using web services.

We believe that SOA can provide a close alignment between the business and IT to deliver business agility, while meeting customer's objectives through business-driven architecture.

Our primary objective is to use open standards to merge multiple silos of systems and data into a seamless, unified and global enterprise. By assessing the business and technical needs of a customer's architecture, we can determine and define services that best fit the requirements of the client's organisation. We can then create a conceptual model of IT services, implementing SOA in an incremental and phased approach to minimise risk.

We allow customers to "connect" in every aspect of the business, expediting integration and streamlining technology. Web services play an integral role in a system's architecture; they drive application development and integration within an enterprise. We implement Web services using the latest development platforms, including J2EE and Microsoft.NET.

Our latest range of Bankflex Product is based on SOA and also offers SOA-based industry solutions for key business domains like Banking, Insurance, Payment Services, Retail, Energy and Utilities etc.

BPM is a set of technologies and standards for designing, executing, administrating, and monitoring of the business processes. A business process is the flow or progression of individual activities which represents the work of a person, an internal system, or the process of a partner company-towards some business goal. Business Process Modelling (BPM) is the art of formalising and automating business processes using BPEL.

BPEL (Business Process Execution Language for Web Services) is an XML-based standard for defining how one can combine Web services to implement business processes efficiently.

We firmly believe in the fact that BPM has a long way to go and we have already made a strategic resource investment for the development of BPM expertise. We closely study the BPM space and identify the key drivers for a successful BPM implementation. Following are the unmatched capabilities that set us apart and thus making us an ideal partner to work with you to BPM-enable your processes:

Domain expertise
Every organisation has a unique business processes that acts as a key differentiating factor. Financial Services, Retail Banking, Corporate Banking, Payment Systems have numerous business processes that need to streamline their operations by using BPM. We have domain consultants in all these verticals that help to pave their way in this process.

Adherence to standards
Adherence to standards helps in making the best-of-breed solutions work together. This brings an end to isolated solutions and paves the way for generic solutions. We have developed expertise in BPM standards like BPEL.

Tools and technology
We extract value from our extensive network of alliances with technology leaders in the Business Process Management space and from our expertise in various tools and technologies like IBM-WebSphere Integration Developer and Oracle-JDeveloper.
