Have you ever watched some of those live-drama, police operation documentaries or films back in the 1980’s, 1990’s and early 2000, where in a scene you find a cop tagging the owner of a vehicle and identifying a criminal merely by punching an ID on a hand-held unit or a small computer system mounted in the police car? Back then, it may have seemed like a leap in technological prowess for the law enforcement agencies. The shocking truth, however, is that the system that facilitated the flow of information from State Law Enforcement offices to the police units in the field was probably dependent on aging programs that were developed decades earlier. Before choosing to modernize these aging systems, police and military agencies kept different records (both paper and digital) for known offenders, convicted felons, including data on juveniles and those on parole. Eventually the systems give rise to a potential risk that, if left unchecked and mishandled, questions are raised concerning the accuracy and the duplication of unorganized data, questions that could ultimately affect civilian security activities and public safety, in the long run. The solution - modernize those legacy systems. Today, some of these obsolete or legacy systems integration have been given an overhaul, and have been modernized for more robust integration with other state agency information systems, which includes the correlation of data from prison institutions, parole and even the justice department and courts systems, as well as revenue systems and social services; all-in-all to offer a faster, more accessible, and more accurate sharing of information for police units, to better serve and protect the public. In a...

System integration, also simply known as SI, is the process of putting in a new system, which can still relate and communicate with the previous system or systems, be it, or they, simple or exceedingly complicated. System integration is an arduous process, which needs a lot of setting up and development, and an implementation and optimization phase. The one objective of System integration is to solve the problems that are experienced, which cannot be solved by the existing systems. Examples of the different types of System integration are management system integration, business system integration and even software system integration. When attempting to apply software system integration, the work the current system does is first established, that is, the problems that the current system solves. When the shortcomings of the system in relation to the problem solving area are discovered, the designers of the new system must then justify how the system they wish to introduce will aid and whether it is financially viable. The new system must create profits for the organisation or at least stem losses. Management system integration brings to light new methods to reach objectives and makes use of untapped potential the previous system could not originally make use of. For example, providing wireless services to the staff that is on the field, allow for timely feedback, for example if a survey in a remote area. In this way the decision makers can make quick verdicts to the direction they should follow. This form system integration is both effective and efficient. To have your system improved as a business, all...

Most times presentations, spreadsheets, documents and emails in organizations are created faster than we can keep track of. Images, documents, web pages and other content types in this case are referred to as unstructured content. Since the amount of this content continually increases or grows within an organization on a daily basis the challenges associated with its distribution, management as well as creation continues to grow in tandem. Oracle’s WebCenter interface provides a solution to this matter. Oracle’s WebCenter content’s unified architecture makes it possible for all ECM (Enterprise content management) applications to be deployed on the same platform. This allows organizations to house and deliver unstructured content to multiple enterprise applications in their proper form. This technology allows companies and or organizations to efficiently and effectively build content rich applications, reuse content and integrate a large number of content services with other company applications. Enterprise content management applications help reduce resource bottlenecks, decrease costs, share content effectively, automate processes, effectively manage risk and minimize the number of lost documents within an organization. Oracle WebCenter offers organizations a truly unified Enterprise content management platform that provides a full collection of rich EMC functionality including image and document management, digital asset management, content publishing as well as records and retention management. Oracle WebCenter is a truly unified platform that delivers on the EMC promise by providing a single point of control, increasing user adoption and decreasing administrative and other ownership costs. Oracle WebCenter unified architecture makes certain that ECM specific content management capabilities are interchangeable, complimentary and extensible to each other as well as deployable on the same platform. ...

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...

Legacy modernization – What? Legacy modernization is a constant attempt for companies to improve their services and to provide the quickest access to information. Organizations are challenged to cope with new applications and to constantly adapt their legacy software to keep up with the latest trends on the business field. The purpose is to improve customer service and compete with the same enterprises. Basically, a legacy application is a software application that uses older programming languages. They may run on any platform, use any language and they can be in use for several years. Legacy modernization is a software update that combines the strength of the past applications, reused up to a point, with the cutting edge technologies available today, modern software architectures. Legacy modernization – When? A modern company should be constantly updating to all the changes in the business field and should be able to modify the application it buys without major problems. And a responsible manager should ask for a five year prediction on the impact that business trends and technology could have. When legacy modernization is needed, a company must evaluate its resources, meaning the applications it already has, establishing their value and their possibilities of merging with newer ones. The main issue is the balance between maintaining the old applications already paid for and investing in new up to date business opportunities. The options are quite simple, leaving things as they are without spending, or on the contrary remove them all and replace them, or, best of all, integrating new technology. There are a few factors an enterprise must...
