A service for exchanging data between data systems.
The integration service provides a systematic, reliable and cost-efficient way of combining information systems with processes and ensuring the exchange of data between them. The service is intended for connecting information systems and processes by means of technical data transfer solutions and interfaces. The centralized integration service includes the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), administration of interfaces implemented using the centralized service as well as the service platform required by the service.
The service produces integration specification and solution services for development projects as well as data exchange, routing and transformation services provided by the Enterprise Service Bus.
The central target and user groups of the service are the owners of the university’s information systems, information system projects as well as persons in charge of core data and owners of such data.
During the production of integrations, the service is responsible for the administration of Enterprise Service Bus interfaces and the related development actions. The functional logic of the integrated solutions is not implemented in the integration service.
The service is composed of the following service components:
*Development and administration of interfaces and integration rules
*Administration of the application platform of the centralized integration solution
*Application platform development ordered separately as allowed by the resources
The service can be ordered by contacting integration service at
