Enterprise Service Bus Architecture

What is Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Architecture?

ESB architecture is a relatively new approach to designing and creating solutions that emphasizes scalability, flexibility, and the leveraging of existing resources through the use of web services to facilitate intelligent, content based routing according to business rules.

What does Enterprise Service Bus Architecture mean to your organization?

An ESB based approach allows your organization to start small and grow exponentially with the returns on your previous investment. Using correct BPM and Workflow automation practices under an ESB model allows you to scale our separate point solutions and facilitates Enterprise Application Integration.

Another interesting aspect of ESB solutions is their ability to adapt no matter what their size. Most scalable solutions reach a point of growth when altering the process is no longer simple. The solution may have grown to accommodate the larger role it needed to play within your business, but during this growth, it lost the ability to be easily upgraded. ESB solutions don’t suffer from this symptom; their ability to adapt generally stays as simple as ever.

ESB solutions are also built using a goal driven approach. You have a problem that you want fixed. How would you prefer to resolve the issue?

1. By purchasing a “pre-built” solution with 80% of the functionality you want that would require a large investment in new infrastructure and a change in how you do business.
2. By purchasing a solution that uses your existing infrastructure to accomplish 100% of your goals and adapts to your methodology.

Snapsflow Solutions are built on the idea that you would prefer the second option.
