Main issues with tool chain approach
- Time consuming integration analysis – to get all artifacts clean and ready for development
- Spending most of the time fiddling with several applications from Excel to UML modeling and synchronizing changes between artifacts
- Having useless discussions about versioning and compatibility changes
- Being frustrated from non-creative, precise and repeating dull work
- Inability to find out what changes have been made cross all the relevant artifacts
Why Service Designer?
All functionality required by integration analyst in one tool.
- Design of CDM and services including orchestrations and field mapping
- Repository of CDM and services
- Team cooperation – locking, synchronization, audit, user management
- Automatic change detection and versioning
- Unification of analytical documentation and artifacts
- Import and export (analytical templates)
- 3rd party data integration
