Heathrow's Terminal 5 has announced it has deployed and gone operational with Progress Software's Sonic ESB (enterprise service bus).
The solution software enables BAA to provide airport integration capabilities using Sonic ESB. This includes the creation of re-usable integration services for new T5 systems and of specialist adaptors for the integration of existing key operational BAA systems, such as the Airport Operational Database Integration.
Martin Thomas, integration architect at BAA IT, comments: “Our challenge was to find a solution that enabled the rapid integration of operational BAA systems and provides a platform for future use.”
Sonic ESB is a market-leading, messaging-based ESB that provides the integration of new and existing business services across organisational boundaries as well as to remote sites with low latency, high reliability and continuous availability.
BAA chose Sonic ESB for Terminal 5 to achieve reliable integration of events in order to provide the best passenger experience possible.
Ken Rugg, VP and GM of Integration Infrastructure, Progress Software, says: “Terminal 5 is now setting new standards in the delivery of systems that, working seamlessly together, contribute to the positive and hassle-free experience now enjoyed by passengers using Terminal 5. These new standards require unprecedented levels of data integration and encryption, making this an exciting and successful project for Progress Software.”
