Overview

Adeptia ESB Suite is an enterprise-class software product that is designed to integrate ANY APPLICATION with ANY DATA at ANY LOCATION. It combines process centric and services (SOA) based approach with application and partner integration. ESB Integration Suite easily and quickly automates data flows and connects applications using industry-specific standards.

ESB Suite is a web-based, graphical, easy to use solution that allows customers to integrate disparate information sources, databases and software applications both within an enterprise and across customers, vendors and business partners. These integration data flows can be implemented within hours and days.

Adeptia is UNIQUE because it enables automation of not just system-to-system (straight thru) data flows but also the more common human-to-system or system-to-human business processes where business users need to interact with running data flows to view information, correct errors and resubmit data if needed.

Adeptia ESB Integration Suite allows companies to "centrally manage" all their integration interfaces from one, web-based application. All the application touchpoints, database connections, protocols, Web Services, formats and schemas, mapping rules, data validations, triggers, alerts and notifications and run-time logs are all managed from one place. On an ongoing basis, as rules and formats change, this approach really simplifies the process of maintaining all the interfaces and data bridges.

Adeptia ESB Integration Suite offers IT staff an easy and simple way to deliver highly complex process based integration for changing business needs. This enterprise-class software allows companies to leverage the Internet by deploying extended enterprise processes that link partners, suppliers and customers. ESB Integration Suite is based on JAVA and XML technology. It combines powerful data transport functionality with comprehensive data mapping and transformation capabilities. It is perfectly suited for Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Business to Business integration (B2Bi) scenarios.

This product has the following key components:

• Design Studio is a web-browser based collaborative environment for IT staff and business analysts to collaborate to design, configure and manage data flows
• Services Repository is a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based library of reusable objects such as data flows, schemas, mapping rules, workflow tasks and web services components that have been created using the Design Studio.
• Execution Engine is a run-time component that triggers, manages, routes and tracks the running of the data flows.

Key Features

Adeptia ESB Integration Suite offers all the features and functionality that one would need in a complete process-centric, SOA-based Application Integration Suite. This includes the following capabilities:

• Process Designer is a web-based design tool to help IT staff collaborate with business analysts (if needed) to easily create and document their data flows, routing rules and business processes in a highly graphical, intuitive way. The designed process can be exported to a PDF format document for sharing and archiving...Read More
• Data Mapper is another web-based, graphical design tool that makes it really easy to specify ETL, mapping, validation and data cleansing rules to process the incoming information. Even very complex rules can be easily specified without writing any code. The Data Mapper supports Any-to-Any mapping, meaning transformation rules can be applied where sources and targets are in any different formats. This tool includes a library of functions which can be pre-created and reused again and again. Finally, the Data Mapper has a "preview" capability to see actual source and target data, while the rules are being specified, if the soruce data file is available...Read More
• Rules based Routing allows complex data flows with complex rules to be specified such that routing of data, workflow tasks and information can be affected automatically in the process flows at run-time.
• Workflow Automation is available in the Adeptia Integration solution to allow manual human workflow tasks to be automated. This allows business users to interact with running data flows.
• Data Schemas and Protocols capability is included to support processing of data in any format whether it is Text or CSV, XML, any Databases (such as Oracle, MySQL, SQL Suite, DB2, Sybase), EDI, HIPAA, ACORD AL3, any Fixed-Length file format, or any other format. Any format can be a source or a Target in a data flow. Adeptia also supports all the data transport protocols to connect with various applications and systems...Read More
• Portal functionality including management of users and roles and their relationships, permissions based access and secure login access are some of the capabilities included in this solution.
• Task Manager is pre-built into this Integration solution to allow business users to see which tasks are waiting for them, their priorities and their due dates. Managers can see the Task Managers of their subordinates and they have the ability to reassign tasks if needed. This is useful for users to fix any data errors or make any decisions before data is processed and end-systems updated.
• Document Management is included in the Adeptia SOA ESB Integration Suite and it allows users to upload and download documents securely and then track documents related to the various instances of the data flows.

• Real-time and Batch Triggers are available built into the solution. These allow flexbility in determining how the implemented integration solutions (data flows) will be executed. These can be simple scheduled triggers to run certain data flows at specific times or they can be real-time triggers that execute data flows based on certain events such as a file being dropped in an FTP folder or an email is received.
• Custom Service Plug-in capability allows important extensibility in this solution because any existing external programs, in any programming language, can be plugged-in as a service in the Adeptia SOA ESB Integration Suite and can be reused at any time in any data flows. This allows organizations to leverage existing work and move their existing interfaces into a "services-based" solution where everything can be centrally managed.
• Web Services in an important capability that is fully supported and included with the Adeptia product. Web Services client allows, within any process, an ability to access any web service and exchange data. Web Services provider is also available to expose any business process as a Web Service to other applications...Read More
• Multi Platform Support is available because Adeptia Suite has been developed on Java/J2EE platform allowing it to be deployed on any operating system. Adeptia Suite install packages are tested, certified and available for Windows, Linux, and other Unix platforms such as Sun Solaris providing maximum flexibility for customers.
• High Performance is important when processing bulk data and Adeptia ESB Integration Suite is designed to easily handle very large data volumes in a robust, efficient and graceful manner...Read More
