StepStream IS - Integration Server

StepStream IS is message oriented middleware, that is particularly suited for application integration in environments where translation of information is important and where problems in data quality are an issue.

Introduction

What is Application Integration ?

Application Integration (AI) deals with problems and processes to bring systems closer together. It should help to reduce cost while retaining the specialized business systems.

What is the problem ?

Increased demands on communication are resulting in an increasing interconnectedness. Linking systems via classic point-to-point (P2P) connections leads to complex system landscapes, which are difficult to maintain.

System linking with P2P

StepStream IS

The number of connections can significantly be reduced by introducing a central distributor (hub).

StepStream Approach

Besides technical decoupling it is important to delegate business tasks to the hub to achieve a certain degree of business decoupling. Thus, the hub should handle common business data transformations and enforce communication standards.
