To introduce service-oriented architecture (SOA) for enterprise agility, ESAB chose iCore Adapter in combination with IBM WebSphere. ESAB needed a flexible integration, internally as well as for the supply chain, with the central ERP system Movex and the local ERP systems Scala, including access to legacy applications in the local AS/400 and Unix environment. The requirements were more automation and less manual administration in the interaction with the existing central WebSphere Business Integrator Message Broker.
