ENTERPRISE SERVICE BUS (ESB)
The ESB is a middleware tool enabling more advanced applications to be merged with aging legacy systems that many are accustomed to. This solution bridges that gap to ensure interoperability, retain functionality and reduce costly redevelopments of entirely new systems for businesses.
Amid the rapid advancement of technology, many businesses today are faced with the task of merging various systems and applications with existing legacy systems. With the usage of more and more applications as we progress in the digital age, businesses using the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) which proves to be more cost-effective will have the upper hand in the long run compared to a point-to-point integration which only allows the connection of two applications.
ESBs belong in a specific software class called middleware that acts as a bridge for data between systems. Through the use of a good Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), data from various applications can be analysed and determined how it is then shared. The ESBs can be implemented during this stage; this of course, would vary depending on the requirements of the businesses. A good implementation of the Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) framework with the ESB can assist in bridge data and processes between legacy heterogeneous systems such as mainframes and open systems.
Businesses would further benefit from the implementation of ESBs as they not only provide mediation and integration services but also enables the virtualization of end-points, translation of protocols and the maintaining of services between software version updates. The ESB can also monitor and guaranty the service level agreement (SLA) by providing a stable interface to exchange messages whilst avoiding the need to relook service contracts.
Beans’ team of experts have years of experience under their belts in dealing with the implementation of ESB using SOA across various platforms and we pride ourselves to be able to assist organizations from various sectors in consultation, design and implementing EAI frameworks.
API MANAGEMENT
As enterprises embrace digital transformation for their businesses, API Management is what we would list as an essential tool for most businesses to bridge the relationship gap between the customer and your enterprise by providing the means for them to connect directly to you. The Application Programming Interfaces (API) Management solution allows designing, publishing, documenting, and analyzing web application programming interfaces that can guaranty both the public and internal APIs are accessible and secure.
Being part of the fundamental building blocks of SOA, API Management allows developers to utilise back-end services to monitor the ever-growing number of blocks in the application to ensure scalability and to provide secure access to both internal and external parties.
Besides allowing businesses to publish, secure and oversee APIs utilization more effectively, many features such as access management, authentication, auditing and event logging are built-in, minimising the amount of effort it takes to manage them. Monitoring event logging, rate limits, quotas, and IP restriction policies are also a breeze with API Management.
Ultimately, the use of API Management allows your business to unlock the true potential of your digital assets and to create greater engagement with your target audiences via their various touch points.
As the pioneering implementers for one of the first projects involving API Management, Beans’ team of professionals have the expertise to help you understand more about the technology involved and how your business can benefit from it.
IDENTITY MANAGEMENT (IdM)
Identity management (IdM) enables the management of authentication, authorization, roles and privileges of identities within or across networks and enterprise boundaries.
Evolving significantly in the past decade, IdM solutions can now cover the management of any form of digital identity under the umbrella of IT security and information privacy and privacy risk as well as usability.
The Identity Management system stores and maintains linking knowledge in a large database and is used in the development of directories, where a namespace serves to represent objects such as organizations, applications, subscribers or devices.
With our years of experience providing solutions, Beans is capable to assist your business in increasing security and productivity while decreasing cost, downtime, and repetitive tasks with Identity Management solutions crafted to suit your needs.
