BizTalk

Case study

Design challenge:

Development of API (middleware), which enables the registration process to be automated for a test. API is used by a web application, data from it flow to educational centre management systems. These systems are 'almost identical' for each country, but some operations require modifications specific for a given location. Additionally, this is not a clean integrative stateless API. Registration starts a long-term process with events initiated by candidates (e.g. online payment), as well as automatically (e.g. text messages reminding about the test time). Both the long-term process and automatic operations may change – their versions appear, which, however, should not affect already registered persons and their processes.

Scope of works of DCG:

Making of a system based on BizTalk Server, development of a programming definition of processes. Preparation of procedures, changes in definitions of processes and their versioning. Post-implementation support, continuous development of a product, preparation of new definitions of processes.

Technologies:

BizTalk Server 2013 R2, Azure Relay, MS SQL Server, .NET\C#, REST, JSON

Result:

High, measurable savings related to reduction of work expenditure required for registration of candidates for courses (entering data, searching for available dates, recording of dates of consultations with lecturers in the training centre management system). Ease in expanding the implementation in further countries, possibility of adjusting the process for a country, development of elements of automation of candidate handling (date reminders).
