Enterprise Integration
Executive View
Top Level Objectives
Whether you are a small utility or a Fortune 500 corporation, you need to maximize your IT investments, minimize risks and deliver business critical information for efficient decision making. Managing disparate applications is an ongoing issue that creates non-value added time for IT and organizational business units that maintain these applications and underlying data. Utilities and Communications companies can achieve desired business performance by integrating systems, resulting in better collaboration and improved data quality through defined processes and metrics tied to performance goals.
System Integration is inherently complex and should not be taken lightly. Effective integration efforts require acceptance and participation from all of the stakeholders of an organization. Rolta raises the standard by providing spatial intelligence solutions that leverage enterprise integration even further by revealing complex system patterns and relationships that would not be readily available. Data consumers are presented information in a more meaningful way, while data managers and executives will benefit from improved performance, cost control and increased safety and reliability.
Solution - Innovation
Rolta's Geospatial Fusion Solutions help our customers bridge the gap by providing the ability to access information in legacy systems as well as the ability to participate in an enterprise environment. We provide a "window" into the legacy systems and hide the complexity of integration. This is accomplished through a robust configuration engine without the need for time consuming and expensive custom development solutions.
Advantage - Insight
Typically, legacy systems originate from specific needs for specific functions. Integration of systems can be expensive and time consuming. Rolta's Enterprise Integration Solutions deliver improved overall systems performance, availability and reliability while eliminating redundant data entry, extract, transform and load (ETL) processes and costly system interface development. Integrated systems also help foster improved communications and collaboration between different groups since everyone can see how data is used in all systems.
Benefit - Impact
Rolta Geospatial Fusion Solutions provide all the tools needed to integrate applications across departments and throughout large enterprises. The ability to eliminate duplicate data and complex system interfaces optimizes resources, consolidates data and reduces operating and maintenance costs - ultimately leading to improved customer service and profitability.
Management View
Business Objectives
The demand for enterprise integration is more present now than ever. Strategic and operational goals of an organization absolutely depend on enterprise integration to attain performance metrics. Rolta's solutions provide for integration of business systems and GIS through a configurable platform that does not require custom coding thus saving time and costs to the organization.
Solution
Geospatial Fusion is Rolta's innovative solution which fuses all of the core competencies, solutions, products and methods into a seamless architecture and world class offering. Our basic strategy is to extend the value of traditional GIS, newer GIS solutions and our client's investments in data and broader enterprise business applications through cost-effective integration of systems to create spatial business and operations intelligence capability for our customers.
Geospatial Fusion is based on core technologies from Rolta including the OnPoint™ web map engine and the iPerspective™ solution that supports the rapid creation of SOA web services.
Rolta Geospatial Fusion Solutions Support:
- Configuration - Not Programming
- Industry IT & Database Standards
- Plug-and-Play Architecture
- Integration across business systems and workflows
- Adaptive to existing business processes or to enable new processes
- Quick deployment of solutions using wizard based configuration
Approach
Rolta's works closely with our customers to completely understand workflows, information needs and goals at all levels of an organization. Integration projects typically begin with needs assessments for the various stakeholders, which serve as the basis for identifying and prioritizing specialized requirements. Needs assessment and work process analysis are important elements to determine how systems communicate and need to be configured to meet organizational objectives. Subsequent implementation activities are then defined to deliver improved overall systems performance, availability and reliability while eliminating redundant data entry. Rolta accomplishes this with a team of industry experts and solutions that eliminate ETL processes and costly system interface development.
Business Value
Enterprise integration unites disparate business systems and eliminates error prone redundant data entry and publishing processes that waste scarce and expensive technical resources. Integrated systems also help foster improved communications and collaboration between different groups since everyone can see how data is used in all systems. Rolta Geospatial Fusion Solutions provide all the tools needed to integrate applications across departments and throughout large enterprises. Integrated systems promote improved data accuracy, ROI, communication and collaboration.
Technical View
Technical Issues
All businesses and governments are challenged with multiple IT platforms and disparate systems within organizations. Operational data which is not readily assessable throughout the organization makes it difficult to achieve business goals that are increasingly dependent on rapid and efficient integration of data isolated in legacy applications and databases. This challenge is made more complex due to incompatible systems and technologies and the manual work-a-rounds.
Even if data is available, some organizations struggle to see the relationships between business data, events and locations because their applications do not provide the ability to see critical information in a spatial context.
