Reduces
costs and creates opportunities for county planning that have never
been explored before
"The
integration platform decreases system administration costs by replacing
point-to-point connections between applications with a single platform.
We used WebLogic Integration as the hub, managing the integration
with all the applications, saving time and money. With WebLogic
Integration, we only have to do this once."

County chose the BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform to utilize a common
framework and tools that ease integration among disparate systems.
It decreased system administration costs by replacing point-to-point
connections between applications with a single integration hub.
Problem:
Complexity of different applications
It was extremely difficult to ensure connectivity and data integrity
with 160 different applications, while keeping mission-critical
systems running.
Solution:
Integration platform
BEA platform reduces integration complexity, freeing the IT staff
to concentrate on adapter development and the business analysts
to focus on business logic
Results
· The county saved a considerable amount on integration costs.
"We reduced by 65% the cost of integrating our ERP system."
· "We were able to integrate systems [for one project]
in 3 days, without affecting the day-to-day running of our production
environments."
· "We can provide information online so that people
have less of a need to visit county offices."
Benefits
· "Decreases costs by replacing point-to-point connections
between applications with a single platform."
· "Enables a best-of-breed strategy. We can deploy the
best systems and applications, while BEA ensures compatibility and
interoperability."
· "Increases our enterprise agility by enabling the
addition and modification of applications as needed and as technology
evolves."
