Every company has the same goal: successfully selling its products and services to enable further investments and growth. Thus, every company focuses on improving this business lifecycle. However, the business lifecycle is not only influenced by the company itself, but also by the environment of the company – like the requirements of the market and the customers.

How do innovative companies enhance their business lifecycle?More and more efficient business processes are required to be faster than competitors, to achieve the best possible service quality, and a higher degree of customer satisfaction. A consistent IT architecture, which application integration and service-oriented architectures (SOA) are promising, is the premise to enable a rapid reaction, and thus the required flexibility. What is your share in enhancing your business lifecycle?

Integration step-by-stepSimply begin with the integration of the most important applications, und thus increase process efficiency, before you – step by step – manage the most important functionalities of your applications as flexible SOA services.

InterSystems Ensemble enhances your applications, right from the start. Start developing efficient services which enable you to implement new business solutions, to realize new business processes, and to integrate data across the company in very short time – without having to replace existing applications and systems.

Integration with cost-control and immediate benefitsEnsemble is a flexible integration platform built on an end-to-end architecture which enables you to integrate and expand even complex systems in a rapid and effective way. Thus Ensemble avoids the effort and the significant follow-up costs otherwise related to integration and SOA projects very often. Ensemble supports a project-oriented step-by-step approach, enabling integration process-by-process, and thus provides the benefits of integration immediately.

Integration according to your needsEnsemble supports the complete bandwidth of integration projects – from data integration and application integration to the development of service-oriented architectures. By using Ensemble you also gain flexibility at the service side – SOA does not mean to us that you have to opt for Web Services. Ensemble is able to provide every service for any environment and technology – as EJBs, for .NET, J2EE, and of course also as Web Service.

Integration without Rip&ReplaceBenefit from the excellent connectivity of Ensemble – integrate your applications without the need to replace existing IT systems and applications. The easy development of customized adapters facilitates access to every application, technology and data in your company – from SAP to terminal-based applications and Oracle. For standard applications more than 250 pre-built adapters are available.

Integration with easeThe Ensemble integration platform enables efficient business process management across any level and the complete lifecycle of your processes: From graphical process modeling, process orchestration and the integration of existing legacy systems, up to monitoring processes and company key performance indicators, and the further development of your processes and IT environment – also regarding composite applications and portal solutions. And you achieve this without having to buy and configure various tools first.
