EDI Integration and Enterprise Service Bus

Every integration project is unique, but many can benefit from the same basic principles of a Service Oriented Architecture or Enterprise Service Bus.  Eastridge has the experience and tools to help enterprises survey, architect, and build a flexible data integration platform that is not dependent on specific end-point systems.

We understand the value of creating tighter integration between business systems, employees, and customers.  With integration tools from Microsoft, enterprise platforms and new systems can be rapidly tied together using industry standard XML and Web Services. These solutions can dramatically improve the efficiencies of business operations and provide a viable solution for managing processes that constantly evolve and change over time.

Eastridge has been in the integration business since 1999, and we have successfully engaged in a variety of very complex business scenarios:

  • Integration between IMSDC & IMS/DB mainframe applications and a Windows NT 4.0 Web Server using Microsoft Host Integration Server.
  • Using an IBM CICS Mainframe system as the backend system of record for a new web based financial system for a Petroleum company.
  • Marrying a Java based Sales Order Management system with Siebel CRM using BizTalk Server when a manufacturer acquired a rival.
  • Replacing an expensive EDI system for a national trucking company by leveraging BizTalk server to integrate directly with Wal-Mart, Target, and other retailers.
  • And many, many more examples over the years.

Because Eastridge is a leader with Business Process Integration and Management utilizing Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009 and SQL Server 2008 R2, we have special access to these two product teams within Microsoft.  We frequently consult these internal Microsoft teams on behalf of specific customer challenges or when new technology issues are discovered.  Eastridge is one of a very few companies in the south east United States recognized by the Microsoft BizTalk product team and in 2006 were invited to join the BizTalk Virtual TS program, as well as speak at Microsoft's annual SOA and Business Process conference.
