What happens when a business software application fails? Human intervenes. That’s the most common reaction. This issue simulating conflicts or failures of software integration and/or automating system have been around since the early 80s. Two things can be attributed to this failure – too much reaction or intervention of humans or the lack of it. Wrong decisions or the lack of plan in the event that a series of events occur that were deemed too unlikely to come into reality often comes in strings when humans intervenes. When you look at the cause and effect of why a combination of improbable chain of proceedings add to that human interactions, you will find ways to develop application integration. At times you may require to generalize with other business integration software that will improve the operation side of your systems application. The most common overlooked in application integration software problem lies in the fact or the lack of system monitoring, log files of events and tracking matrix on every layer of the -system simply put it – documentation. The business system that we developed should be transparent to us, meaning every possible irregular occurring events should be noted and analyze corresponding reactions and its equivalent results. Doing things over and over again using various scenarios and actions until the event of failure is taken note of subjecting and planning additional parameters that will supply definitive reaction to each identified event. When you develop a business application software, put into mind that people will be using it, in fact people of various capacity and state of thinking. When you think of it...

As if taking the que on the challenge being posed by mobile phone/mobile computers giant Apple Computers, Microsoft have once again showed why it simply cannot be toppled. Steps have been taken to modernize system software for mobile phones. And there is a lot of reason why software development or in this point mobile applications development is very much alive. The Windows Phone OS ease of use with which applications can be quickly prototype or released suggest a bigger looming prospect of Windows 8 (and its release) becoming more of the selling point. Application and systems developer likes Windows Phone as an OS as well as development environment. So as most developers that Windows Phone have matured over the last couple of years and has become a very solid operating system. Citing the phones responsiveness OS and attractive design together with ease of use considered as its strong selling point. Likewise, the Metro User interface – definitely a cut above from the existing iOS and Android has shown the style and usability. And with the finishing touches and lunch of the Windows 8, being in the very near future, leaves the likewise legacy systems at greater far end for the new software development needs. Developers have created more than 100,000 developed windows mobile application have made the Windows Phone a viable and strong alternative against the iOS and Android systems. When an application or modernize software system is ported by the developers they already have in mind the feature to look into the Metro User Interface. Microsoft also encourage to use special features such as Live Tiles and Bing...

At the turn of another decade, the IT world is witnessing yet again another seismic shift comparative to the internet boom in the 90s. Back then the demand for technological skill is at coming into a rise. Programmers, systems developers, systems analyst and database guru lures the Information technology world who are task to modernize the software system. While the internet have grown into a universal appeal for IT people, systems integration have made a lot raised eyebrows. Today we’ve seen the rise of systems integration taking over as IT has become less and less about technical skills. We have seen the key roles are now reserved and occupied for those who can easily adapt and best integrate readily available components – this maybe an existing legacy software, legacy applications and legacy systems. Legacy software migration have come into a point where systems developers are now doing or trying to find something that will hold and maximize available components from the legacy systems taking less time to deliver new solutions. We can attribute to the fact that back then sharing libraries and software development kits was a common practice. Nowadays, we tend to lean on open API’s rather than be dependent in proprietary libraries. Software development have rather become more of like building blocks, with open source programs readily available via internet. This makes almost every single systems developer rely heavily in the available resources in the internet. Anyone with an internet connection and browser can tap into every thing freely so long as they can see it in the internet. What does this trend means for the...

If you were to look at the number of new businesses that emerge every month – especially web based enterprises then you would be right to assume that starting a business is not so hard. Given the type of business integration software available today, you can set up your business in a week and with the right strategy be profitable in a month. This ease with which such feats are possible today is not to be taken for granted though; it was definitely not the ‘norm’ just ten years ago. The technological dark ages, as they were made it infinitely harder to get things done. Not to say that the tasks we hardly pay attention to today were extremely hard, it was simply harder and took much longer to start up and make profits. With everything having to be done manually or (if you were the lucky sort) with the aid of legacy applications software, efficiency as well as accuracy were often compromised. The turn of the century though and rapid developments in technology brought with them a set of business integration software applications that could be used to perform repetitive tasks and thus halve the amount of time and energy the manager had to spend on them. Thus leaving the manager with ample time and resources, to focus on strategies and growth tactics aimed at making the business more profitable. When starting up a business there are a lot of things to take into account. While most people simply focus on licensing, financing and the final product, it is also imperative to consider aspects such as the business...

One of the most common dilemmas a company faces today centers around how to deal with legacy applications. Many existing companies had their IT systems set up using legacy applications that have become obsolete in the wake of technological development. In light of a changing business atmosphere that incorporates technology into nearly almost every process, companies are beginning to face up to the fact that an upgrade might be a necessity as opposed to a luxury. Upgrading legacy applications however is neither a simple nor a cheap process. The main problem is the fact that the structure of legacy systems does not integrate well with existing technology platforms. While a complete system overhaul is a possibility it remains an unrealistic one. The fact is that legacy systems integration, though outdated, are very stable platforms that support most of a company’s business processes. This is why most companies have opted for a solution which involves applications integration. Enterprise applications integration has proven to be the most advantageous legacy integration method for commercial businesses. This is because business enterprise systems are made up of a host of different system applications that work in tandem to perform various processes. An entire system would for instance consist of applications fro supply chain management, customer relationship management software, payroll software and of course legacy applications based business logic software. For these systems to work in tandem applications integration is a necessity. The main benefits of applications integration are: Data integration – In a system that is as varied as a business enterprise system, it is important that data flows freely between all involved applications....
