Comarch ESB

One good head is better than a hundred strong hands.
Thomas Fuller

Problem

Over time due to growing demands, an enterprise acquires more and more IT systems.
Given that these systems have not been implemented at one time and often by different vendors they are not compatible with each other and therefore cannot ensure information exchange between them.
When new business needs arise, their achievement may be hindered due to communication insufficiency between the different IT systems.
The lack of ability to flexibly react to IT system changes requires the extensive engagement of an IT development team or external vendor.

Challenge

Unification of mutual IT systems access is necessary.
Often data from only one IT system, is not enough – the need arises to combine information from many sources into one business driven service.
With ever-changing business needs, come numerous IT service modifications which become a costly endeavour. A more efficient way is recommended.

Solution
