YOUR DIGITAL INTEGRATION PARTNER

Catreus has focused its expertise around data management : Connect, Combine, Consume.

Our expertise implies a deep knowledge of several middleware solutions from EAI tools to API, SOA and BPM, but for a few years now, integration architecture has evolved to a micro-services-oriented framework with a high demand for service and continuous delivery systems.

Some of the services we offer

Any Data to Any Data, Any Process to Any Process Integration

Our strategy consists to make our experts acquiring both business and technical knowledge, update them regularly with new market demands and build project teams with full business and technical expertise. With such strategy we are reaching the mandatory quality to assume complex and strategic projects in business domain such as Insurance, Banking etc.
We have deep understanding of technologies such as API, MOM, SOA, ESB, EAI, BPM, BAM, MFT, ETL, BigData, CI/CD, DevOps, DevSecOps and APM to achieve your any data to any data, any process to any process integration.

01

Enterprise Application Integration

EAI is a middleware, an integration framework, that consists of a collection of services and technologies that enable seamless integration of all such systems and applications across the enterprise, as well as data sharing and process automation. In other words, EAI is an information system architecture that lets many types of software communicate with one another and, basically, controls these diverse exchanges.

We can address EAI challenges leveraging technologies like Google APIGEE, IBM API Connect, IBM Application Connect Enterprise, Mule ESB, IBM MQ, IBM MQ FTE, IBM MQ Appliance, RabbitMQ, Kafka, REST APIs and others.

Business Process Management, Automation Workflow

02

Business Process Management, Automation Workflow

Business process management (BPM) is a discipline that uses various methods to discover, model, analyze, measure, improve and optimize business processes. A business process coordinates the behavior of people, systems, information and things to produce business outcomes in support of a business strategy. Processes can be structured and repeatable, or unstructured and variable.

We can implement Business Process Re-engineering and Management solutions leveraging technologies such as IBM BPM, IBM BAW (Business Automation Workflow) and others.

03

APIfication & Microservices — The Road to Digital Transformation

Digital Transformation has become the catalyst for future-ready organizations to achieve agility, resilience, and competitive advantage. Becoming a connected enterprise has become a business imperative today with APIfication, the key enabler for holistic business growth.

A microservice is a small, single service offered and it derives from the distributed computing architecture that connects many small services, rather than having one large service. The microservice can then be delivered through an application programming interface (API), a method of communication between a requester and a host system.

We can help transforming your IT assets into a microservice driven API architecture with life cycle management.

Top-Down

Getting your business leadership behind a digital transformation is critical to the success of your new strategy. For this reason, top-down strategies often end up being the most effective.

Bottom-Up

Also called a “code first” approach to API building, this is the traditional method of creating an API. IT can start building directly from the business requirements, focusing on the back-end rather than the front-end.

DevOps, DevSecOps & CI/CD

04

DevOps, DevSecOps & CI/CD

DevOps is a set of practices, tools, and a cultural philosophy that automate and integrate the processes between software development and IT teams. It emphasizes team empowerment, cross-team communication and collaboration, and technology automation.
DevSecOps stands for development, security, and operations. It's an approach to culture, automation, and platform design that integrates security as a shared responsibility throughout the entire IT lifecycle.

We can aid in setting up CI/CD pipelines to enable DevOps and DevSecOps capabilities leveraging automation tools like Jenkins, Gitlab CI, Ansible Tower, Github, Nexus Repository, Docker and others.

05

Custom Application Development

Custom application development is the process of designing, developing, and deploying software applications for specific users or use cases. The design of these apps begins with a unique problem they're meant to solve, and the software is fully optimized to solve this problem.

We can help in developing custom applications and playbooks in many programming languages and scripting technologies not limited to: Java, Python, Groovy, System i RPG, System i COBOL, YAML, Scala, C.
