WeDid: Enterprise Integration Platform Re-architecture
Challenges
The current utilisation of the EAI production platform was at 80%. The client needed to understand what remaining capacity was available. The in-house development team were facing integration development issues running integrations in parallel. Over the past few months, a considerable amount of manual intervention was being performed by the developer and production support.

| Purpose | Enable the client to understand the capacity of their current environment. Eliminate manual intervention by development and support teams. Design a new enterprise integration platform architecture based on the client integration roadmap. Deliver knowledge transfer to client team to ensure ongoing best-practice for their future implementations. |
