A GATEWAY APPLICATION

Century Integration Framework (CIF) integrates many disparate business components and processes– both inside and outside an enterprise. As a gateway application, CIF provides APIs for client applications that interact with other applications and third-party systems, for various business processes.

Why Century Integration Framework?

CIF provides a technologically-advanced environment for managing and moving data between applications.

  • Proven, scalable communication layer with 30+ pre-integrated systems in large MSO
  • Packs adapters for billing, provisioning and inbound orders
  • Automates complex business processes and provides unified access to the information
  • Packs adapters and business related tools for integration of multiple product catalogs

Century easily enables transformation to Enterprise Architecture

As the foundation for digital transformation, Enterprise Architecture is the process in which we help our clients organize the IT infrastructure to align with business goals.

Century Integration Framework provides an environment that creates intra-connected and interconnected apps with developed APIs that enable seamless communication of business generated content or data services between different systems.

Although companies possess many obsolete applications that pose as inhibitors for enterprise architecture, our established team of consultants and integrators can help you achieve the optimization of their functionalities and their integration into the overall Enterprise Architecture.

Configurable APIs - became Reality

Century Integration Framework features a flow-through component that is a configurable approach for application integration. The process of sending data to an external system is configured as a UI Template in the configuration tool, and the screens are associated with events/tasks in the workflow of the source system.

Advantages of Flow-through component

  • Any external system can be invoked by API triggering
  • Ability to handle exceptions of any kind
  • Performs event and data mapping by retrieving the template from CPC
  • Facilitates configuration of API/Query templates, for request and response in CPC
  • Supports configuration of process plans with CPC rules for each external system
  • Ability to retrieve any requested configured process plan to perform business rule validation
  • Enables sending notification based on the received request

Benefits of Century Integration Framework

Faster and accurate communication between applications

  • Allowing the omni-channel approach – demanded by customers and requested by business users of the architecture
  • Supports legacy systems and allows efficient bulk uploads

Configurable

Century Integration Framework provides an integration layer to automate complex business processes and also provides unified access to information for all systems connected to it.

  • Easily configure any complex integrations
  • Helps reduce deployment time
  • Easily manage modifications without affecting the existing flow

Dynamic mapping of requests

Century Integration Framework uses advanced technological achievements and extensive business experience to provide an environment for managing and moving the data between applications.

  • No need to have all requests defined before initialization
  • Easily track request/response sent or received
  • Smart application templates for multiple systems

Highly scalable

Century Integration Framework by using the loosely coupled web services is creating a service-oriented infrastructure scalable for any number of transactions with minimal latency. We can connect the diverse range of legacy systems to remain functional and provide the most compelling new business processes.

  • CIF allows reusability of configured parameters enabling horizontal scalability of the solution while its functionality is easily dispersed across a geographically distributed network as needed

Dashboard utilized for monitoring progress

Integration should be considered a simple task – however, without monitoring progress, even the simplest tasks become challenging. CIF enables a dashboard view of a vast number of KPIs for data exchange between systems
