Brief introduction

This white Paper series is designed to provide guidance on integration issues.

In this paper, we will illustrate the interoperability features of the Microsoft platform through the insurance case. As technology advances and new technologies continue to emerge, many companies may choose different technologies at various stages of enterprise development: from mainframe-based COBOL or FORTRAN-type traditional applications to more modern solutions based on. NET, Mobile, or Java, and all of the intermediate technologies. Therefore, with the increasingly complex technology used by enterprises, various technologies are facing more and more restrictions.

Insurance Interoperability Series

This white paper aims to provide guidance to architects facing the difficulties of integration in the insurance industry. This article will show you how to use Microsoft integration technology to integrate a variety of fundamentally differentiated systems into your enterprise. In addition, this document provides a useful design guide for building interoperability solutions with open standards such as ws-*. The following documents will also be included in this series:

This case will give us a preliminary understanding of the business process. Like many other businesses, each insurance company has its own unique process approach. However, these enterprises have some similarities at the platform level. This means that we can leverage these shared platform services to build a service-oriented architecture (SOA) that provides greater flexibility for these organizations with specific business processes.
