Implementation Services
Enspiria Solutions turns business requirements into systems that meet client needs. This is accomplished through sound system integration principles and extensive experience in implementing utility, cable and public sector information technology systems. We have unmatched expertise in the deployment and operation of complex utility delivery and usage information networks. System implementation and integration services include:
- Project management
- Procurement of equipment and software
- Management of vendors
- System/integration requirements, analysis, and design
- System/enterprise integration
- Change management (CM)
- Training and knowledge transfer
- Documentation
- Testing support (test plans, script development, acceptance testing)
- Field test performance management
- Installation support
- Benefits realization/key performance indicators
Based on your needs, we can provide "turnkey" management of your implementation project or specialized support to your team.
Enterprise and Technology Integration
While the benefits of enterprise integration are great and a business case can usually substantiate a sizeable return on investment (ROI), there are significant technical challenges to implementing enterprise integration in a utility, cable or public sector IT environment:
- Legacy systems are "silos" and "islands" and often are not readily adaptable to an integration framework.
- Information residing in systems can be proprietary, hard to get to and not designed for sharing to external applications or systems.
- Migrating or consolidating data from old systems to new can be complicated and time-consuming.
- Organizational change issues increase as multiple silos are broken down and business processes optimized.
Given their complexity and multiple touch points across the organization, enterprise integration projects are especially susceptible to failure. Enspiria Solutions brings the strong project management, excellent system engineering, detailed enterprise planning, and integration framework required for project success. Our successful history of delivering integrated systems and new technologies reduces implementation risk for our clients.
Integration Framework
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is related to middleware technologies such as message-oriented middleware (MOM), and data representation technologies such as XML. Newer EAI technologies use web services as a means of integration. Studies have shown that EAI reduces the cost of new interfaces by much as 50 percent and the cost of maintaining those interfaces by a whopping 80 percent.
Enspiria Solutions has found that an enterprise service bus (ESB) approach reduces implementation cost and risk for both current and future implementations. Our integration workbench approach supports a heterogeneous set of integration technologies and vendors, allows organizations to leverage all of their investments in EAI and other integration technologies, and enables a service orientated architecture (SOA) which is event driven without requiring that 100% of all interfaces use web services.
