Client Objective
Team Glyphic works with Canon on the Systems 21 Project
as part of the Architecture Team to help modernize
Canon??s infrastructure, systems and business processes.
Canon??s objective of Systems 21 is to rebuild core applications
to eliminate inflexibility of the existing IT applications
in handling growing business needs.
Canon approved the Architecture Group and requested the Architecture Team come up with Architecture standards for the new system.
The objectives of the new system were
- Implement a unified, robust and scalable architecture that promotes common designs.
- Decrease the technical complexity of assets to license, maintain and upgrade.
- Promote use of standard technologies and consistent architectures.
- Minimize changes to legacy systems in communicating with new S21 systems.
Glyphic Solution
Glyphic has been an active and leading partner on the
architecture team and provided SOA & Message Broker
solutions as part of the S21 Application Integration Architecture.
Glyphic performed analyses of Canon??s Needs and
recommended the technology/tools for the application and
integration architecture.
Glyphic??s S21 Integration Team members performed a gap analysis of existing integrations between legacy systems and current Service Oriented Architecture environments, addressing all the points between S21 applications and legacy 3rd party systems.
Glyphic then completed the proof of concept that evaluated the tools chosen to work with Canon on its solutions and introduced IBM WebSphere Message Broker for the S21 implementation.
Glyphic??s team served as subject matter experts, architecting and approving all integration efforts utilizing WebSphere Message Broker. The S21 Integration Framework provides audit services for data flowing through and Alert Notifications, Error Handling and Recovery/Reprocess of Data as needed.
