2016 Maintenance Innovation Challenge ENTERPRISE SERVICE BUS PROBLEM STATEMENT A major area of focus in the maintenance and logistics arena where there are a myriad of legacy systems that need to be integrated to streamline the process. Diverse legacy maintenance data systems which currently support execution of shipboard work require a large number of inefficient repetitive manual data search and entry processes BENEFITS It allows for single logon and ensures only necessary data is presented to users based on business logic in the ESB. Users can focus on key decisions instead of mundane tasks such as log in and manually aggregating key data into offline tools Provide remote access on a Tablet PC to all the data at the point of performance for Material Assessments Provide Access at the users desktop to all the various data sources to assist with Availability Planning . TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) design reduces the complexity of integrating disparate applications by leveraging service oriented architecture principles and standardized packaging frameworks. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) advocates the use of standards and use of loosely coupled interfaces. EDIS integrates data from many Navy databases and systems via an Enterprise Service Bus GRAPHIC
