SOACS for the National Industries for the Blind

NIB Strengthens Partner Relationships and Enables Scalability with Oracle SOA Cloud Service

Situation at the National Industries for the Blind

In order to enhance the stability and performance of the organization, the National Industries for the Blind (NIB) needed to upgrade from its outdated version of Oracle Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to the modern Oracle SOA Cloud Service (SOACS). The organization depends heavily on vendors and trading partners as its primary source of revenue and wanted to expand integration to better support current and new partners.

Optimizing and growing trading partner relationships through the use of B2B technology is key for NIB, making it necessary for the client to:

  • Reduce costs, operational complexity, and maintenance efforts
  • Support and expand integration with current and new trading partners
  • Standardize extensions and enhancements

AST proposed a plan that was in complete alignment with NIB’s business goals and objectives.

Let’s Create Progress Together!

The endless hours that AST spent working on this project, and the professionalism that was portrayed has impressed the entire team immensely. I appreciate the cooperative spirit and the attention to detail that enabled us to streamline the entire process to achieve success."

Solution & Benefits of SOACS at the National Industries for the Blind

AST’s expertise with Oracle SOA and SOACS ensured a smooth migration to the Cloud for NIB. The team developed a Disaster Recovery (DR) environment to eliminate the risk of production downtime and established CI/CD using Oracle Developer Cloud to standardize the build and deployment process. The successful implementation of the latest version of SOA, along with cloud migration, met the organization’s primary need for continued innovation in support of its partner relationships, and NIB continues to realize additional benefits, including:
