Project was aimed to reduce the redundancy of data and streamline the service delivery using WebSphere MQ. Solution to integrate an n-tier service-delivery infrastructure that employs a browser front-end, IBM WebSphere Application Server in the middle of the architecture, and a heterogeneous array of mainframe and client/server applications at the lowest tier. MQ facilitates the integration of the middle tier with the legacy systems through a message-broker hub. The solution is also seamlessly integrated with a number of external service providers to connect to their web services.
