t2b integration

Integration is an area where reliable products only recently became available. Many software vendors are now re-branding their products to be EAI (Enterprise application integration) solutions to profit from the boom.

 

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is t2b’s core business and we are one of the leading companies in Switzerland specialized on integration.

We provide vendor independent consulting and support in the area of integration. We help our customers with the design and build of IS architectures, information systems, integration backbones (based on EAI tools), and other middleware. We help you to transform technology to business.

Based on the experience in several customer projects using software solutions of the leading EAI market players, t2b  has established its well structured and proven t2b's enterprise integration backbone methodology, which ensures efficient company-wide EAI implementation and fast EAI project success.

t2b's Enterprise Integration Backbone RampUp

Based on the experience in several customer projects using software solutions of the leading EAI market players, t2b  has established its well structured and proven t2b's enterprise integration backbone methodology, which ensures efficient company-wide EAI implementation and fast EAI project success:

t2b EXPLORE  : Integration architecture design

It is established knowhow by now, that integration middleware is a necessary component for any mid-size to global company. So, the discussion is no longer about the "if", but the "where & in which case" to use EAI.
 

t2b consultants have gained profound IS knowledge over years while encountering and shaping IT architecture within many different types of enterprises. Build your EAI approach on our sound knowledge provided by t2b's IT architecture consulting.

t2b EVALUATE  : EAI product evaluation
 

We have developed a decision matrix for all topics, that helps our customers to unleash all the benefits of EAI tools. We have presentations and white papers explaining the ideal use of the products - and we have a method of how customers generate their own specific integration framework from these pieces.


Of course we are watching the market and know many solutions from personal experience or from reference visits. In the integration area we have our best established SW selection process.

t2b SETUP  :  setup EAI organization & infrastructure
 

Building up an EAI Competence Center and establishing all necessary processes, roles and guidelines based on proven approaches is key to have success with EAI.

 

After selecting the product vendor and approve the EAI design setting up a stable and scalable IT infrastructure considering the business requirements is the second prerequisit to be prepared for the next step, use and operate the EAI environment.

 

We believe that EAI or the company's integration backbone is a core IS function. As such much of the know-how around it should stay with permanent staff of the company. On the long term it should try to build up a core team that is in charge of these activities and that will hire and guide contractors to help them with "peak" efforts.

t2b USE  : use & operate EAI environment
 

In this stage application by application and business partner by business partner are connected to the Information Backbone. Integration development and operations management go hand in hand to establish the strategic role of the EAI platform.

For this phase t2b together with its partners  is offering services like:

integration consulting & development, backbone operations, custom adapter development, mass type of integration.
