Enterprise Solutions require extensive architectural considerations like Performance, Scalability,
Availability, Redundancy & Security. As part of our Enterprise Solutions offering we at
Anurakti Solutions would do a thorough analysis of your requirements using a judicious mix of
possibly onsite and primarily offshore resources and develop an Enterprise applications that
would fit your exact requirements. The broad specialization areas falling in this Solutions area
(as also depicted in the figure below) include
A Data Warehouse is a repository of an organization's electronically stored data
and is specifically designed to facilitate reporting and analysis. By definition
"A warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant and non-volatile
collection of data in support of management's decision making process".
Subject Oriented : Data that gives information about a particular subject
instead of about a company's ongoing operations.
Integrated : Data that is gathered into the data warehouse from a variety
of sources and merged into a coherent whole.
Time-variant : All data in the data warehouse is identified with a particular
time period.
Non-volatile : Data is stable in a data warehouse. More data is added but
data is never removed. This enables management to gain a consistent picture of the
business.
A key activity in the Data Warehousing context is what is known as the ETL (Extract
Transform Load) process and the Cleansing process. A variety of tools are available
in the market for the ETL process from vendors like Informatica, Business Objects,
Microsoft etc.
We at Anurakti Solutions can provide you a whole range of Services in the Data
Warehousing field.
Business intelligence (BI) is a broad category of applications and technologies for
gathering, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data to help enterprise users
make better business decisions. BI applications include the activities of decision
support systems, query and reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP),
statistical analysis, forecasting, and data mining. BI is a technology majorly used
in context of Data Warehousing tools.
Business intelligence applications can be:
-
Mission-critical and integral to an enterprise's operations or occasional
to meet a special requirement
-
Enterprise-wide or local to one division, department, or project
-
Centrally initiated or driven by user demand
A variety of BI tools are available in the market from vendors like Informatica,
Business Objects, Microsoft etc.

Intelligence field.
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a paradigm that defines how two computing
entities, such as programs, interact in such a way as to enable one entity to perform
a unit of work on behalf of another entity. Summarily SOA is the underlying structure
supporting communications between Services.
A Service is defined as a unit of work to be performed on behalf of some computing
entity, such as a human user or another program. Service interactions are defined
using a description language. Each interaction is self-contained and loosely coupled,
so that each interaction is independent of any other interaction.
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)-based Web services are becoming the most common
implementation of SOA. However, there are non-Web services implementations of SOA
that provide similar benefits. The protocol independence of SOA allows different
consumers to communicate with the service in different ways.
We at Anurakti Solutions can provide you a whole range of Services in the Service
Oriented Architecture field.
Business Process Management (BPM) is a systematic approach to improving an
organization's business processes. The idea of BPM is to bring processes, people,
systems and information in a business together. It involves looking at automation
horizontally instead of vertically requiring adopting a process-oriented approach to
business that makes no distinction between work done by a human and a computer.
A business process is a set of coordinated tasks and activities, conducted by both
people and equipment, that will lead to accomplishing a specific organizational goal.
BPM activities seek to make business processes more effective, more efficient, and
more capable of adapting to an ever-changing environment.
Business Process Management Systems
(BPMS) provides the capability to design, deploy, execute, analyze, improve and optimize
end-to-end business processes.
A BPM Solution is a perfect solution for areas where processes are
complex
or
experimental
and
change frequently
to meet internal demands as well as market trends and processes
extend
beyond
the boundaries of an
enterprise
& communicate with processes of the partners, customers, suppliers & vendors.
It enables the user to automate those tasks that are currently being performed
manually. Many of these tasks require some type of application process, approval
or rejection process, notifications and status reports. A BPM solution can make
these processes automatic, by coordinating the flow of tasks, access to resources
and the exchange of information among employees, customers and partners.
They capture information about the execution of the process to enable continuous
process improvement.
Eg BPM softwares are available from TIBCO - Staffware, Microsoft - Biztalk Server,
SUN - JCAPS (earlier SeeBeyond).

Process Management field.
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is a business computing term for
the plans, methods, and tools aimed at modernizing, consolidating, and
coordinating the computer applications in an enterprise. Simply put it is the
integration of data between heterogeneous applications in a company.
Early software programs in areas such as inventory control, human resources,
sales automation and database management were designed to run independently,
with no interaction between the systems. Typically, an enterprise has existing
legacy applications and databases and wants to continue to use them while
adding or migrating to a new set of applications that exploit the Internet,
e-commerce, extranet, and other new technologies.
EAI may involve developing a new total view of an enterprise's business and its
applications, seeing how existing applications fit into the new view, and then devising
ways to efficiently reuse what already exists while adding new applications and
data. EAI encompasses methodologies such as object-oriented programming, distributed,
cross-platform program communication using message brokers with Common Object Request
Broker Architecture and COM+, the modification of enterprise resource planning (ERP)
to fit new objectives, enterprise-wide content and data distribution using common
databases and data standards implemented with the Extensible Markup Language (XML),
middleware, message queuing, and other approaches.
