About The Customer
Sumitomo Corporation Asia & Oceania (SCAO) is a part of the Sumitomo Corporation, a leading global trading company with 133 locations in 66 countries and 22 locations in Japan. The company is a major player in the global exchange of goods, services, and technology. SCAO is headquartered in Singapore and operates across a wide range of industries. The company exchanges vital business documentation with trading partners, including purchase orders, purchase order confirmations, and shipping notifications. These processes were traditionally supported by Microsoft BizTalk’s integration platform.
The Challenge
Sumitomo Corporation Asia & Oceania (SCAO) was facing frequent system outages and data loss due to issues with their Microsoft BizTalk integration platform. This was causing significant disruption to their business operations, including the exchange of vital business documentation such as purchase orders, purchase order confirmations, and shipping notifications. The system required a hard restart every three days, leading to high support costs and interruptions to customer-facing business operations. The issues affecting SCAO’s core business processes and overall customer satisfaction necessitated an immediate replacement of the current system. Management at SCAO wanted to ensure the replacement was quick to deploy and seamless to end users.
The Solution
SCAO conducted a technology evaluation process and selected MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform over three other competing solutions including the incumbent, Microsoft BizTalk. The main criteria for selection were speed of development, ease of deployment, manageability, and cost effectiveness. With the goal of connecting bespoke purchasing systems to each other and to a centralized Oracle Database, SCAO evaluated vendors on their ability to deliver rich data and application integration capabilities with minimal custom code. MuleSoft's Anypoint Studio and Anypoint DataMapper provided the powerful graphical tooling SCAO required to rapidly develop and deliver their BizTalk replacement solution in 6 weeks. MuleSoft's 120+ Anypoint Connectors, including JDBC and Websphere MQ, delivered out-of-the-box extensibility to key endpoints in SCAO's present and future IT landscape. This ability to eliminate friction with a complete and future-proof solution made Anypoint Platform unique.
