“When they first told us about architecture
mapping, I didn’t believe that is going
to reduce the duplication and the connection
points. But, when I saw their engine in action,
I had to believe it. CTE helped us clearly visualize
these innovative solutions through rapidly built
prototypes. They even exceeded our expectations
by defining a clear roadmap by mapping all the
key applications and data points. The CTE experience
is a very rewarding exercise for our company
and is highly appreciated…”
This reaction from the team from the Life Sciences
major only reinforces the huge business advantages
of SOA-based technologies and solutions. CTE
is helping the pharma major build a Business
Intelligence solution to transform their research
systems using Oracle Fusion and Oracle Data
Warehouse Suite.
The company, which produces a family of nutritional
products, has been trying to break the traditional
mould by focusing on creating cures through
diet. But, this transformation is not without
challenges. The terabytes of data produced in
research can’t be managed by existing
information systems and the company needed sophisticated
data collection and discovery tools to succeed.
The company chose CTE to provide a complete
end-to-end hosted solution consisting of new
operational systems to manage the research data.
CTE's SOA-based solution is built on Oracle
Fusion leveraging Portal, BPEL, SSO, OID, 10G
AS, Database and Enterprise Manager. SOA Integration
is also used to connect these systems to the
disparate array of existing information management
systems built on Sybase, MS-Access, Oracle,
and text files. The solution also includes a
data warehouse, built using Oracle 10g Warehouse
Builder and Oracle Discoverer, to manage the
terabytes of data generated each year for their
scientific studies. This solution complete with
operational systems and data warehouse provides
the company with the sophisticated tools needed
for data mining, analysis and discovery.
