Distribution Solutions

Overview

Modern logistics serves to meet consumer demand. It combines manufacturing, transportation and sales to forge a unified strategic approach. Distribution is an important component of such a modern logistics system. VanceInfo has developed the distribution management system by combining SOA principles with a fully-featured distribution system, utilizing an ESB (enterprise service bus) to integrate EIS (enterprise information system) and to consolidate critical subsystems like enterprise management, IT infrastructure, and software services.

Solution Offering

VanceInfo's distribution solution is based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles. SOA is a current, effective way to design enterprise IT architecture. It solves interconnectivity and interoperability problems found in distributed enterprise IT systems by using a heterogeneous interface, packaging a large number of existing system functions into services with standard interfaces, and emphasizing system's openness and reusability. Under this architecture the development and application of products does not have to start from scratch; rather, they can use a large number of existing services, develop a few new services, and then combine both services into new products. The evaluation criteria for an SOA system is how quickly a new application product can be in use.
