Composite Application Solutions

    
Composite applications are rapidly emerging as the preferred solution for business process optimization. Leading analyst firm Gartner Group formalized the notion of composite applications as "an architectural pattern meant to enable the development of new application systems by combining brand-new logic and transactions exposed by pre-existing, legacy applications... In composite applications, the component parts—the new application logic and the legacy transactions—interoperate by invoking each other in real time via application integration technology."

Composite applications allow people or teams — often in different roles, departments or even companies — to be linked in common business processes. These processes are defined by business logic and workflows that draw from legacy applications, transactions, business intelligence and data repositories. Composite applications combine these elements into services which are enhanced with new business logic, enabled for multiple levels of presentation, and exposed for access to a broader audience of users, transactions and processes.

At a high level, successful integration of composite applications requires an application server, adapters to connect with existing applications, an integration broker or transaction engine, and a communications infrastructure (Web services). Quality composite applications will enable personalized access (portal) with an effective security infrastructure and include application and system management capabilities. Timely and effective implementation of composite applications requires proven expertise.
