Overview

Sourcing Integration Services (SIS) is an extendable adapter for enabling integrations with Collaborative Enterprise Sourcing (CES). The Common Infrastructure Services (CIS) provides a powerful technology enabler for communication between different systems. SIS provides an interface to the CIS data and application integration buses. This allows CES to integrate through CIS to any external system or a third party tool. At the user interface level, other EAI specific services are provided in addition to the CIS related interfaces. The provided standard interfaces expose the CES Common Asset Data Model (CDM) for integration of CES foundation data. Additionally the built-in functionality allow generic extensions to the services, based on the integration requirements. SIS is designed to follow the adapter-connector style architecture that allows end-to-end integrations to be more decoupled. This approach makes it easier to make changes or upgrades to the separate components of the integration without breaking the entire data flow. SIS provides these integration types:
  • Interactive Integration
  • Application Integration
  • Data Integration
