Overall Connectivity

Overal Connectivity Requirements
Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) allow your organization to share core business processes intended to distribute costs associated with conducting business electronically. We designed our process catalog platform using a combination of standards-based Web Service technology specifications and Open Source technologies to ensure process interoperability, extendibility and governance.

At eSigma we allow your business to share information and services using the World Wide Web as your secure and reliable gateway. Listed below are examples of the connectivity types and models eSigma supports.
Service Providers The number of Web Service providers will exponentially grow over the next couple of years. The service providers of tomorrow will be organizations that provide reusable business services designed to streamline current business processes and fuel On-Demand growth. We break Service Provides down by three categories: Business: Many business processes will be delivered and automated via Web Services, consumed by an array of business consumers from any vertical industry. Consumer: Current on-line, self service models consumers use for everything from ordering products to streaming music can be delivered using Web Services. Government: In a post 9/11 world, government agencies are providing real-time access to information and services designed to streamline civic processes. The result of this work will create a more efficient system of government reflective of its people and needs. Service Exchanges Many vertical industries, in an effort to implement the use of best practices, utilize Web Services to exchange information and services intended to streamline business processes. Private and public exchanges will begin to transform the way companies conduct business over the Internet.	Process Registries The proliferation of Web Services requires companies to maintain service catalogs that allow partners, customers and other external consumers the ability to utilize core business processes in an On-Demand world. Peer-to-Peer Networks Many of today’s Fortune 1000 companies have built private trading partner networks built on legacy information technologies that are being exposed using Web Services. DataMarts Data stores developed to during the client-server era are being updated using Web Service technologies enabling organizations to share business critical information in real-time when and where required. Enterprise Systems Application functionality is being exposed as reusable business processes and many organizations are looking to utilize the interoperability that Web Services provides to extend legacy information technology. Information Exchanges The largest impact that Web Services has had over the past few years is in relation to the exchange of information. Information exchanges provide analytical and transformation services that allow companies to communicate on a transactional level.
