System Integration
A large organization has business processes that require interaction between several IT systems. If there are only two or three such systems, then non-standard protocols and choreography (implementation on the side of each system of the logic of interaction with all those integrated with it) can be used. However, with the growth of IT systems and, as a consequence, their connections with each other, the infrastructure becomes extremely difficult to support and develop, and the implemented business processes are opaque and confusing.
The solution to this problem is system integration. Using SOA (service-oriented architecture) allows implementing relatively simple services on the system side, using standardized protocols, orchestration (moving the interaction logic into a separate system, which allows implementing the integration parts of business processes in one place). As an implementation of orchestration, ESB (enterprise service bus) is usually used, which allows, using the implementation of standard protocols and the BPEL language, to describe business processes relatively quickly and integrate the systems involved in them within these business processes.
Our services:
Develop solutions for integrating corporate applications, data and business processes both within the company's IT infrastructure and with external information systems

Technical support outsourcing
An effective technical support service can be built in-house, involving business consultants and high-level technical experts. It is also possible to implement a request management system and debug processes. But this approach requires serious investments, which, as a result, entail other costs associated with the management of this service, its provision, as well as the need to improve its efficiency and scalability in the context of changing business needs. We suggest that you focus on business tasks that bring profit, and outsource the technical support service to us.
