Perry Lewis Consulting
Description
Enterprise Application Integration has grown out of the need for organisations to interconnect existing systems and enhance these systems without the need to replace tried and trusted solutions. The systems connected may be written in different programming languages, managed by separate companies and even hosted in different countries.
EAI is made easier by the modern generation of integration suites, SeeBeyond's e*Integrator and iCAN software, BEA's Weblogic, IBM's Websphere and Microsoft's Biztalk are some of the leading suppliers in today's market. These tools provide an execution framework and a library of components for carrying out common operations (such as endpoint connectivity). These tools cannot however be used to connect systems “out of the box”, major projects typically spend a considerable amount of time and money configuring and adding to these packages. Perry Lewis specialises in helping organisations to maximise the benefits of these products. Furthermore our extensive library of pre-developed components can really save time when integrating.
Company ethos Our company ethos is focused around craftsmanship and pride in our work. Its clear form the number of bug ridden software releases and failed projects that the modern technology market is focused on promising a lot and delivering a little; Perry Lewis specialise in getting things right at design time, and in building extensibility and re-usability into the solution at every stage of the project. Sometimes clarifying all the requirements and thoroughly testing all deliverables can seem like hard work and an unnecessary overhead, but we believe that if you don't make sure that all the building blocks are right then the beautiful solution you are building may well turn out to be a house of cards.
