Fiorano Cloud ESB Platform selected over Microsoft BizTalk and Mule Open source
Fiorano Software (www.fiorano.com), the pioneer of peer-to-peer distributed integration, today announced that the Fiorano Cloud Integration platform has been successfully deployed by Swiss based Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL), the world's first hotel school.
The Fiorano Cloud Platform, built on the Fiorano Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), integrates applications across Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and In-House worlds.
Over the past several years, EHL acquired substantial hardware and software infrastructure, with a data center hosting over 100 servers, together with over 70 applications ranging from simple portlets to complex applications. The school's pillar applications include a Salesforce.com for CRM, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2010 as an ERP platform, academic and end-user portals, Microsoft Exchange for email and calendaring and Microsoft Active Directory for Identity and Access Management.
EHL soon realized that it needed to invest in a quality integration platform to automate business processes, increase transactional visibility and gain agility by developing capabilities to incorporate new business processes seamlessly without disrupting existing systems. A search was initiated for a comprehensive integration platform and choices were narrowed down to three middleware vendors, one of them, Fiorano.
Fiorano ESB forms the integration layer moving data between the pillar applications. Fiorano "event processes" implement specific business processes, allowing EHL to automate operations incrementally. Testing was simplified with the help of the Fiorano Studio's sophisticated debugging capabilities. With Fiorano's peer-to-peer architecture EHL has managed to evolve its ESB infrastructure as requirements have grown and the experience with the ESB solution has matured. In summary, Fiorano was chosen for the following reasons:
Code-free/Model-driven approach using a flow designer GUI.
Faster development and debugging of event processes.
Superior data integration capabilities (Web-services integration, Databases)
Web based dashboard for server monitoring
Linear Scalability
"We are very pleased with this successful deployment of the Fiorano Cloud ESB Integration Platform. With widespread adoption of SaaS, many organizations are finding it difficult to integrate their on-premise applications with their cloud solutions like Salesforce.com CRM. Open source cloud integration falls short in scalability and security. Fiorano's enterprise-class cloud integration platform enables rapid deployment of business solutions while laying the foundation for an extensible SOA infrastructure." said Atul Saini, CEO & CTO, Fiorano Software.
