A brief look at Interoperability, interconnectivity and synchronizing systems
Rather than looking at a solution at hand, Enterprise Architecture includes the development of an Information Technology strategy and governance framework, which is aligned with the client’s business strategy. This ensures that client’s goals are our goals, and, allows for the client to focus on the problem areas first, whilst knowing that the solution provided is a part of a holistically integrated solution which can be extended as the needs arise without having multiple applications, each dealing with a specific aspect of the business thus requiring additional resources for their integration.
This services oriented methodology effectively eliminates “Data Islands”. A data island is information stuck in an application with no effective way of integrating that information with information from other applications and/or other data sources. The Home Grown team then analyse the clients’ application requirements, formulate potential solutions, conduct feasibility studies of the solutions and presents a business case justifying the chosen solution. Diagram below demonstrates a solution to distributed operations.
An effective way of solving “Data Islands” are by means of services oriented architecture. What this means is that the data of one system is exposed through an open standard such as a web service. This then allows for a central dash board where information can be culminated into a central application which in turn provides a seamless interface to multiple system. This can be further enhanced by adding synchronisation of remote
systems, ensuring that all data from various geographic locations/departments/businesses is view in a single holistic fashion for strategic decision support purposes. The diagram above shows an example of Topology of previous deployments whereby there are several distributed data capture services capturing registration information, 350 odd laptop capturing progression data based on individuals that have been registered, as well as, a fieldwork monitoring team which manages the field operation, and HR who use the information to put and remove registrants from payroll. All components operate fully in an offline manner and need only connect when synchronizing with the central server for updates
