Comprehensive Interface Management

As most production users will attest, the biggest threat to a back-end business system is flooding it with external transactions and synchronization requests. It’s not okay to carelessly “lob” transactions over the fence into back-end systems with no load balancing, dependency controls or error monitoring. Therefore, it’s critical that your mobile solution provides all the controls to effectively and efficiently manage all of the mobile interfaces.

Other major considerations include:

• Complete visibility of all mobile transactions from a single central point.
• The ability to perform multi-phase business transactions within and between business systems, e.g., CRM and ERP, without having to write custom code.
• Internal dependency management to avoid sequencing errors, resource locking conflicts and priority scheduling issues.
• Variable “throttle” controls to manage the maximum system resources that can be used at any one time, i.e., connections, processes, instances etc.
• Support for all major integration options, i.e., enterprise/web services, XML, function/procedure calls, peer-to-peer, file transfer etc.
• Ability to use the most appropriate trigger points (events) in the back-end system to initiate outbound transactions and data object synchronization, i.e., push technology.
• Seamless integration with the back-end sub-systems to provide comprehensive monitoring and error processing capability.

With our 13 years of integration experience, we have included all the customer experiences and technical knowledge into the SkyMobile technology. It includes a proven interface management component that effectively protects your business systems while improving the overall throughput of all mobile transactions and data object synchronization requests.
