Whether you are deploying a simple point-to-point interface or implementing a comprehensive Service Oriented Architecture, PilotFish Technology has the integration tools, experience, and technical expertise to help you shorten the timelines, eliminate the risk, reduce the cost, and assure success. Everything you need to define, build, test, deploy, manage, monitor, and maintain sophisticated interfaces is available from PilotFish.

XML is rapidly becoming the stated standard for business integration.  In the last few years, nearly every major industry has witnessed the establishment of XML standards bodies formed to promote the development of common XML messaging models.  The benefits are enticing: the implementation of a standard will lower IT costs, improve operational efficiency, and streamline business acquisition. 

Developing an XML standard, however, is only the first step toward the ultimate goal of seamlessly integrating all of an industry’s trading partners.  XML, SOAP, Web Services, Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), Enterprise Service Buses (ESB), etc., are all relatively new technologies and to a large extent, not very compatible with the legacy systems still prevalent today.  While many companies have adopted XML standards for communication with trading partners, far fewer have actually implemented. Before a company can take advantage of XML-standards based communication, it must first bridge the technology gap between the old and the new.

PilotFish Technology bridges the gap. While the standards organizations define the standard, we provide the tools to help you actually implement them. PilotFish products enable you to build, test, deploy, and monitor interfaces between any system(s) and any other system(s) regardless of their platform, operating system, database, or communication protocol.
