- Service-oriented architecture (SOA) describes a category of composite applications composed of service provider and service consumer components. SOA segregates business logic and offers location transparency for the service providers and consumers. The SOA approach lets you replace or upgrade individual components in the application without affecting other components or the process as a whole. Moreover, you can independently specify alternative paths through which the components in the application exchange messages.
- Extending legacy applications with Web Services. Bluedog uses its rapid application development environment with web services, data access and page generation capabilities, to extend the Services-Oriented Archictecture and ensure flexible design. We build or use standards-based web services with SOAP, XML and WSDL from existing data assets. These standards-based web services can interoperate with clients written in many languages, including Java, and are ideal for deployment in portals.
- Portals. With the growing importance of web-services-based applications, there is an inextricable connection between the portal and SOA. We're experts with Plumtree and other portals, and the design/build of portlets to support a 'web enabled' work enviroment.
- Data security and analytic solutions. Bluedog reviews your data assets, and, using business-logic-specific models, defines columns in your legacy databases to be encrypted. Our tools create a cryptographically secure encryption key for the table containing the columns and encrypts the clear text data in thise columns, employing strong encryption algorithms. A key management and other maintenance tools are used to control access to the vital, confidential information.
