the challenge
Structure of Azure Integration Architecture
In the course of the digitization of its business processes, our customer planned to set up a modern and agile integration architecture. The aim was to make data exchange between the core applications and external partners both flexible and future-proof. This should enable seamless communication and data integration that meets the company’s current and future needs.
An important part of this project was the implementation of a comprehensive end-to-end monitoring of the business processes. This monitoring should enable consistent monitoring of all processes from a single source to ensure high transparency, fast error detection and efficient problem solving. With these measures, our customer wanted to increase the efficiency and reliability of business processes and at the same time lay the foundation for future digital innovations.
procedure and solution

This suggestion includes using Microsoft Azure standard technologies for both on-premises and cloud integration scenarios. The solution is supplemented by our integration framework Data Passion Smart Connect, which offers additional functionalities and efficiency.
