This IT project is part of our digitalization and optimization of our customers’ IT landscape. Through targeted measures, we promote technological progress, optimize cross-system processes and create a sustainable basis for future developments. Our IT reference projects serve as a basis for orientation. They support the reusability of tried and tested concepts as part of project implementation.
This is one of 4822 IT projects that we have successfully completed with our customers.How can we support you?
Further development of an integration service
Project duration: 2 years, 8 months
Brief description
As part of the project, the customer's existing scheduling system will be successively replaced by a new system, an internally developed individual software solution. The new back-end system will store and manage all processes that arise in the course of supply chain management. The project is based on the Scrum process model and PTA supports the customer in the creation, management and execution of software tests.
Supplement
The new system is based on a relational database (DB2) from IBM, in which the data management is stored. Message queues are used for communication with the adjacent applications via the middleware System MQ from IBM for information exchange. A web interface for user interaction with the system is also being developed as part of the project. The customer's legacy system is a COBOL application that will continue to be used productively during the development of the new system until it is completely replaced. The quality of the new development will be tested at various levels. For this purpose, system and integration tests are derived from the requirements and regression tests are created. SpiraTest is used to document the test cases and their execution. The SQL Client Tools SQuirreL is used for the test execution on the database. Jira is used for task management within the team and Confluence for knowledge transfer.
Subject description
The system receives purchase orders from an external system (warehouse planning system) in the form of messages and checks them for technical correctness according to predefined business rules. The orders are stored in the database and forwarded to all applications involved in the ordering and goods flow process via message queues. The MRP controller can use the Web interface to display the purchase orders and their history, but can also carry out actions on the purchase order, such as issuing a reminder.
