For E-Plus, one of the leading mobile operators
in Germany, T-Systems has developed a
group-wide Enterprise Application Integration
platform, taking into account the current and
future development of the company. A special
challenge was the integration of the extensive
legacy systems. T-Systems designed a highly
cost-efficient migration solution which allows
all the existing workflows and processes to
remain untouched.
We also ensured that other existing components
could be integrated into the new platform.
Standard adapters for connecting the legacy
systems and reusable modules make it possible
to expand the IT infrastructure quickly and
decrease costs and effort for tests during the
launch phases of new products.
All the business processes can be refined,
adapted and implemented rapidly and without
difficulty. This helps E-Plus to respond to new
market demands both flexibly and cost-effectively.
