Adeptia
Web Services provide a simplified web interface and standard
protocols like HTTP to exchange data regardless of applications,
platforms, devices or geographical locations. Adeptia Web
Services module can be deployed without ripping or replacing
existing infrastructure.
Adeptia Web Services module has two components: Consumer or
External and Publisher or Internal. The Consumer component
obtains information from external partners and the Publisher
component sends or publishes information for external partners.
An insurance business scenario can explain the business advantage
of Adeptia Web Services: Brokers / Agents can access policy
issuance information from Carriers database if Agents and
Carriers use Adeptia Consumer and Publisher Web Services components
respectively. Neither they need similar platforms, application
nor do they need to be in the same geographical location.
Their transactions take place using standard protocols and
Internet bandwidth or existing transport mechanism.
Adeptia uses SOA, WSDL, UDDI, BPMN standards for globalized and Reusable Web Services
Adeptia Web Services module uses WSDL, UDDI, SOAP and
emergent business process orchestration standards like BPMN
to enable self-depicting services and self-detecting applications.
Put differently, Adeptia Web Services dynamically find applications
to connect and exchange data-without human intervention.
SOA based Adeptia Web Services module ensures that the right
Services are distributed at appropriate level, taking into
account operations granularity, concept and other factors
relevant to both Service Provider and Service Consumer. This
reduces the effort, especially by the consumer, to use a set
of services to meet a particular objective. Adeptia Web Services
have been designed based on SOA principles to provide agility
and flexibility to both provider and consumer. Adeptia Web
Services module is meant for enterprise-wide and broad application
to enable reuse.
Highlights of Adeptia Web Services
- Reusable: SOA or service-oriented approach
to data exchange allows reuse of Adeptia Web Services (without
'reusing' the code/implementation)
- Loosely Coupled: Companies can transform
their businesses without changing their IT systems
- Multi-Connectivity: Technologies such
as EAI, EDI, B2B, Websites, Portals, and applications are
supported
- Self -depicting and -discovering: Connection
between enterprise-wide applications is established dynamically.
Required applications are discovered automatically
- Use of accredited standards: Adeptia
Web Services use XML, UDDI, WSDL, SOAP, XSLT, XPATH, BPMN
etc
- Secure: Fulfill Web Service security
requirements outlined by W3C Web Services Architecture
