Middleware White Papers

USinternetworking Automates Provisioning Processes

Overview Founded in 1998, USinternetworking, Inc. (USi) specializes in managed enterprise and eBusiness solutions and on-demand services for Fortune 1000 companies. USi wanted to enhance value and security of services while driving down the costs of managing technology for clients. The challenge was to centralize user management, single sign-on, and provisioning platform across product and service offerings and gain efficiency in complying with the SAS 70 auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. USi reduces costs significantly through a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) that automates business processes and ensures regulatory compliance. The company combines Oracle Fusion Middleware's SOA and BPEL functionality with USi's standardized "Wrappers" to encapsulate code components and expose them as Web services, linked together into automated processes.
