The challenge
A leading automotive manufacturer was faced with an urgent need to replace its outdated Seebeyond (Oracle) integration platform. The goal was to maintain ongoing operations without disruption, meet evolving IT standards and support growing business requirements.
This required minimizing operational disruption and ensuring high message throughput, while ensuring flexibility for future business and IT transformations. The manufacturer needed a scalable, future-proof integration solution, complemented by professional project management, to meet these requirements.
Our solution
To meet the strategic need for modernization, we worked closely with the vendor to plan and implement a structured migration to IBM App Connect Enterprise - the modern successor to IBM Integration Bus. After evaluating several integration platforms, App Connect Enterprise was chosen for its enterprise-grade reliability, support for hybrid deployments and advanced message routing and transformation capabilities.
A key part of our approach was to build a comprehensive framework for message transformations, complemented by custom Java development to extend the standard integration capabilities. This ensured seamless interoperability between different systems, reduced manual processes and created a scalable basis for future integration requirements.
The result
To increase transparency and proactive incident management , we implemented monitoring tools such as Grafana and the ELK stack, which provide real-time insights into the system.
The project was completed on time and within the budget of €3.8 million and demonstrates our strong governance, technical expertise and disciplined implementation. The modernized integration landscape now supports agile business processes, improved data quality and ensures long-term IT resilience of the car manufacturer.
