Applica Inc.       Miami, FL

In order to comply with new Sarbanes Oxley regulations, Applica replaced its old legacy fincancial backend system with Oracle's Financial Application Suite and implemented an Enterprise Architecture using TIBCO Software.

CHALLENGE

With growing SEC Regulations, Applica's financial systems now had to comply in accordance with the Sarbanes Oxley regulations. With warehouses in the US, the new financial application had to interact with the existing Warehouse management systems. Applica also had to implement a B2B protocol for order processing and tracking via EDI transactions to their 3rd Parties.

SOLUTION

With Oracle's Financial application as the front end, Applica chose TIBCO's EAI Toolsuite to architect a scalable Enterprise Integration. By using TIBCO's BusinessConnect, Applica was able to connect via EDI to their 3rd party vendors seamlessly. As orders were processed, the backend WMS systems were updated with the inventory changes in realtime.

As part of the Integration solution team, EA Technologies responsibilities were:

• Lead Architect on implementing a complete Enterprise Integration solution of all WMS systems & Exchanges to the Oracle ERP.
• Implement SOA arcitecture using TIBCO's JMS & EMS messaging infrastructure, TIBCO's Portalbuilder , TIB/BusinessWorks & SOAP services for patient portal
• Configure multiple LDAP architecture to support active directory and Portal Architecture
• Project management for team of designers and developers of the lifecycle of the project.
