Professional Experience

Customer: Confidential, Framingham, MA.
Role: Sr. Integration Consultant
Duration: Sep 2010 - Till Date
Description: Staples is the world\'s largest office product company with over 23 billion in sales. Staples serves businesses of all sizes and consumer in 27 countries. It has major network of retail stores and has huge customers and suppliers base.
Project: Staples ESB
Integration has played a major role on the success of Staples IT. With its recent acquisitions and projected business growth for next 5 years, Staples is expecting a 10 fold increase in its integration and transaction volume, keeping the growth in mind, Staples decided to revamp their existing EAI infrastructure and decided to invest in ESB solution that is going to support the projected demand.
The new ESB delivers inter-connectivity services across the distributed component topology. Transport services, routing services, event services, and mediation services are built in the ESB. Transport services provide the fundamental connection layer; event services allow the system to respond to specific events arising as part of a business process; and mediation services allow the loose-coupling between interacting services in the system. ESB is the Staples strategic integration system providing messaging, notification and invocation services across the company's various operating environments.
The word "Staples ESB" is a reference to the physical bus that carries messages between application services in a Service Oriented Architecture. The ESB is the piece of software that lies between the business services and enables communication among them. The ESB serves an analogous function at a higher level of abstraction. Ideally, the ESB will replace all direct contact with the business services by facilitating all communication via the ESB. By making use of an ESB, a service consumer shall communicate with service providers, which acts as a mediator between application services. The primary advantage of such an approach is that it reduces the number of point-to-point connections required to allow application services to communicate. This, in turn, makes impact analysis for major software changes simpler and more straightforward. By reducing the number of points-of-contacts to a particular service, the process of adapting a system to changes becomes easier.
In order to achieve this objective, the ESB is encapsulate the mediation mechanism offered by its application component in a meaningful manner. This is accomplished through the use of an Enterprise Message Model or Canonical Data Model. The message model defines a standard set of message schema that ESB transmits and receives. When it receives a message, it routes it to the appropriate service, while performing transformation of data and protocols into formats best understood by the service consumers and providers.
The ESB provides multiple connection technology alternatives to support multiple messaging topologies and patterns as well as implementations and heterogeneous technologies. Loosely-coupled connections facilitate the agility and management of interactions between services.

Description: Staples Promotional Products, a subdivision of Staples that focuses on the marketing, production, sales and distribution of promotional products
Project: EDI850
This is a B2B integration project. This project requires integration between SPP aiLINC (AS/400) and external customers. aiLINC sends purchase order xml to SPPB2B gateway through MQ listener. SPPB2B gateway transforms received xml to an EDI850 and sends to customers through an HTTPS call. Customers send back Acknowledgement EDI997 through FTP call. SPPB2B transforms that EDI997 to an xml and send back to aiLINC.
Project: Configurator
The purpose of this project is to send orders from StaplesPromotionalProducts.com /StaplesLink.com to SPP OMS system (aiLINC) and send order status from aiLINC to StaplesPromotionalProducts.com/ StaplesLink.com. This project requires integration between StaplesPromotionalProducts.com, StaplesLink.com, SPP Pricing Service, SPP Configurator product and SPP OMS - aiLINC. SPP B2B Gateway (webMethods) integrates the business processes; securely and reliably transfer the data between StaplesPromotionalProducts.com/StaplesLink.com and aiLINC. SPP B2B Gateway makes SOAP web service call to SPP Pricing Service to get cost & a retail price build-up product / decoration info, art charge / decoration setup charge info. SPP B2B Gateway will also make SOAP web service call to SPP Configurator product to get detailed configured product information. SPP B2B Gateway builds the complete order with the data received from StaplesPromotionalProducts.com/StaplesLink.com, SPP Pricing Service and SPP Configurator product. Finally send the order to aiLINC through MQ.
Project: NOVA
The purpose of this project is to receive Ship Notification from external customers. SPP B2B Gateway (webMethods) transforms received xml to internal xml file and re-routes this ship notification to SPP Internal Java Server. This project required integration between external customers, SPP B2B Gateway and SPP Internal Java Server.
Project: Plato
Plato project is an EAI project designed to receive five different kinds of files from aiLINC (AS/400) through MQ listener. Write these files to a mounted shared drive, so other internal systems could use those files. Then finally make an XF server call to deliver those files to ANI (ERP) system.
Project: Remote Warehouse
This is B2B integration project. This project requires integration between SPP aiLINC (AS/400), ANI (ERP system), and external warehouse customers. There are two inbound requests (Ship Confirmation, Inventory) and two outbound requests (Pick Ticket, Purchase Order). There is xml and flat file conversion mapping required to send files to different systems.
Project: A2
The purpose of this project is to send orders from A2 (aka Accumulate) to SPP OMS system (aiLINC) and send confirmation request from aiLINC to A2. This project requires integration between A2, SPP (PEC) Additional Charges Service, and SPP OMS - aiLINC. SPP B2B Gateway (webMethods) will integrate the business processes; securely and reliably transfer the data between A2 and aiLINC. A2 will send cXML Order Request to SPPB2B Gateway via HTTP protocol. SPPB2B Gateway will convert that cXML into OMS order xml. SPP B2B Gateway will make SOAP web service call to SPP Additional Charges Service to get additional charges for the passed product code. SPP B2B Gateway will build the complete order with the data received from A2 and SPP Additional Charges Service. SPPB2B will send the build order to aiLINC through MQ. aiLINC will send Order Status back to SPPB2B Gateway through MQ. SPPB2B Gateway will convert received Order Status to cXML Confirmation Request and send that request to A2 via HTTP protocol.
