2 1 OVERVIEW Fusion Middleware NETbuilder is a specialist IT consultancy delivering software solutions, enterprise architecture and integration technology services with a specialisation and expertise in Oracle Fusion Middleware. NETbuilder is an Oracle Gold partner with large scale implementation experience across both government and the private sector. NETbuilder has a strong Agile Engineering Practice culture, coupled with Continuous Integration practices which complement our Fusion Middleware design, implementation, build and test services. Oracle Fusion Middleware is the industry s leading family of middleware, offering business and technology integration with the aim of improving business processes, speeding up implementation and lowering cost of management and change. It provides visibility, flexibility, scalability and insight into processes and subsequently aids risk mitigation at a lowered total cost of ownership (TCO). 2 DESCRIPTION The NETbuilder Fusion Middleware Design and Implementation Services include the following: Analysis and Design o Utilising Fusion Middleware techniques and tooling to expedite solution design right from the requirements gathering phase. We leverage Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) and the Oracle Business Process Composer to create and customise business processes in live workshops with key business stakeholders. This accelerates requirements gathering and visualizes business requirements, providing business process blueprints that after base lining are transferred to process developers in a format already familiar to them. This has a huge bearing on cutting down analysis and development time with directly proportional project cost benefits. Furthermore, this enhances and encourages Agile engineering practices with increased collaboration among the stakeholders which ensures high visibility of projects. o Coupling user experience definition with User Interface design in the requirements phase. This is done through the use of screen mock-ups capturing the intended look and feel and defining user interface navigation that brings out an intuitive user experience that matches business requirements. Development NETbuilder leverages the following tools for implementation based on the current and future needs of an organisation.

NETbuilder has a strong Agile Engineering Practice culture, coupled with Continuous Integration practices which complement our Fusion Middleware design, implementation, build and test services.

Its Components are: Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher 11g Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g Oracle Essbase Oracle Scorecard and Strategy Management Oracle Essbase Analytics Link Continuous Integration Practices NETbuilder is an expert in continuous Integration practices and always uses build automation and testing of Business Process Management/ Service Oriented Architecture (BPM/SOA). In spite of these posing a challenge due to the nature of the technology, NETbuilder has developed, through experience in its varied portfolio of projects, working patterns that achieve closer integration when including Service Component Architecture (SCA) composites into builds containing Web Applications (WARs), Java Libraries (JARs) and Enterprise Applications (EARs). The patterns employ a hybrid of Maven and Ant tasks to facilitate SCA composites build and deployment with OJDeploy and Application server specific plugins such as Weblogic-Maven-Plugin being used to assist in successful deployment of the various components. Prototypes and Proof of Concepts (POC) Understanding and selecting the optimum configuration of Oracle Fusion Middleware products and managing their related functionality requires experienced developers with expert level skills. NETbuilder s broad experience in developing POCs helps expedite this process. We would usually be involved in the following activities:
