Business Challenge
The IT landscape of Dyckerhoff is dominated by an SAP ERP system, together with additional SAP applications and a variety of heterogeneous specialty software, including laboratory and recipe management involving data exchanges with legacy production systems. As Dyckerhoff did not have an existing internal ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) infrastructure, they made the decision to bring in an enterprise-class infrastructure solution to integrate their centralized SAP systems with multiple supplier and partner SAP systems across Europe, among others.

Solution
Dyckerhoff evaluated various integration platforms including those from Software AG, IBM and Oracle. After a detailed Proof-of-Concept and careful review of the proposed offers, Dyckerhoff concluded that Fiorano ESB was the best match for its requirements because of its unique distributed, asynchronous architecture.

Ease of Management and Maintenance
Fiorano's unique peer-to-peer architecture provides one single monitoring service to check the status of interfaces. Prior to Fiorano, Dyckerhoff had to monitor multiple servers to ensure that services were running.
Debugging at run time
The most evident advantage of Fiorano is the ability to "halt" the whole communication/ choreography scenario at any state of a process for debugging. "This very helpful debugging feature is implemented in Fiorano in a very intelligent manner," says Stefan Boetticher.
Reduction in consulting/development costs
Since the process flow design involves simple configurations involving drop-down menus and some text fields, expansion needs are easily met by existing resources without needing additional resources with specialized skill sets.
