Service Enablement With a Common GUI

iWay Application Explorer simplifies one of integration’s most expensive, risky, time-intensive tasks – the creation and maintenance of secure, reliable services that reuse existing enterprise systems. Using the iWay Universal Adapter Suite, it translates proprietary API calls into consistent XML-based services. Users can call these services from any platform, using any supported service invocation method, including Web services, JCA, and a variety of other standards.

With iWay Application Explorer, users can service-enable existing functionality with a few mouse clicks. Instead of relying on highly skilled programming resources to develop hard-to-maintain integration code, service creators simply:

• Log into an application or other system
• Find the required transaction or functionality
• Generate XML schemas to define service and event message formats
• Deploy the service or event to the required deployment environment

Without iWay Application Explorer, an interface designer would need to know:

• The programming language for developing the interface (Java™, C++, etc.)
• The conventions for the chosen interface (SOAP, JCA, tool plug-in, etc.)
• The API for the target enterprise information system

			The iWay Universal Adapter Suite allows you to service- and event-enable your existing IT investments without coding.

The cost of manually coding interfaces is high because of these required skills. The cost of maintaining hand-coded interfaces is even higher because the original coder is often unavailable. Frequently, these skills do not exist internally and organizations must hire consultants instead. The alternative – coordinating the activities of a team with differing skill sets – can slow down an integration project and is prone to error. Either way, manually managing these skills increases the cost of integration.
