Merlin International Case Studies
U.S. Department of Defense’s U.S. Transportation Command: Service Oriented Architecture
Case Study: Service Oriented Architecture
Problem: The U.S. Department of Defense’s U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) needed to share its information-technology logistics data and capabilities with other DoD entities in a net-centric environment, but it did not have the required service oriented architecture (SOA).
Solution: Merlin International® delivered a complete SOA solution, including service life cycle processes, governance, policy management, registry/repository with ontology, operations, administration and management, and security services.
Results: By having a complete SOA infrastructure, USTRANSCOM is now able to share logistics data and capabilities in a net-centric environment.
U.S. Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command: Service Oriented Architecture
Case Study: Service Oriented Architecture
Problem: The U.S. Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) needed to streamline product evaluations for its international service oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure.
Solution: Merlin International® conducted a structured SOA technology evaluation that looked at functionality, service-level agreement (SLA), security and ease-of-use to make a recommendation to SPAWAR regarding its SOA infrastructure.
Results: SPAWAR moved forward with confidence on a decision regarding its SOA infrastructure technologies because it had completed the required analysis.
U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Information Systems Agency: Service Oriented Architecture
Case Study: Service Oriented Architecture
Problem: The various resources supporting internal employees of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) amounted to a variety of stovepipe systems that were not integrated and needed get transparently shared.
Solution: Merlin International® provided a service oriented architecture (SOA) solution for DISA’s internal enterprise services so they could get shared any number of ways without incurring the maintenance burden associated with unique integrations.
Results: DISA’s internal enterprise services have been integrated into stand-alone portals (the EDGE) as well as Army and Defense Knowledge Online (AKO/DKO) with no additional development required.
