Heterogeneous system integration platform for enterprise collaboration: A case study in large scale business group

Abstract

Currently, enterprise collaboration becomes a key issue for a company to keep competence in the industrial and economic context. The academic research and industrial practice have achieved inspiring results based on Service Oriented Architecture. However, most of the research focuses on some specific parts and lacks of overall thinking to offer a whole solution. Meanwhile, the products offered by industrial players often have some constraints due to commercial consideration. This paper briefly introduces a heterogeneous system integration platform. Then it discusses a successfully implemented case in a large scale business group in China, in which automatic contract and delivery collection is realized within a reasonable time period.
