Modern businesses often have to deal with multiple software systems involved in their process of value creation. This fact often creates an excessive amount of overhead, which results in higher costs. In the diverse software context, the solution to this problem can be found by developing system integration. This thesis was focused on system integration development applied to a customer case.
This research had three main objectives. The first objective was to provide an understanding of what system integration is and how it can be developed. The second objective was to study how communication to web services can be established. The final objective of this thesis was to fulfill a customer case by developing the integration of an e-commerce platform with two external web services.
Constructive research approach has been used throughout this research work. This research targeted to solve a practical problem. Therefore, the theoretical knowledge was collected through a literature review in order to be applied to produce a new practical solution.
The outcome of this research was an e-commerce platform, which was complemented with an integrated logic, provided by external web services. The platform fulfills customer requirements and is deployed to a production environment. Additionally, the platform integration has been tested in order to mitigate possible risks.
