IBM App Connect Enterprise / Integration Bus

Turning ideas into reality

Connecting the new API Economy

IBM ACE (App Connect Enterprise): it’s been called different things in its time–WebSphere Message Broker (IBM MB), IBM Integration Bus (IIB). But there’s no denying that when it comes to heavy lifting in the middleware and integration game, it’s top of its class.

It’s the glue that connects the world’s banking networks, travel, retail logistics, manufacturing and many other industries’ systems of record together with their digital front office systems of engagement.

At DeeperThanBlue, we have been working with and helping organisations improve their business performance with WebSphere Message Broker/ IBM Integration Bus for over a decade and in its previous incarnation of MQSI (MSSeries Systems Integrator). We have highly experienced consultants and development resources to help you with your integration projects.

You can find out more here about our Integration Design and Development Services and how we connect to cloud-based services and applications, and quickly extend the value from traditional legacy-based (cherished) applications and systems on-premise.

We support many deployment models on-cloud or on-premise and also provide managed services.

From time to time, you may need application health checks, performance tuning and support services. You can find out more about our support offerings and services here.

How we've used IBM ACE (Integration Bus) to help our clients

Case Study

Studio

One of the largest online value retailers in the UK. Whilst historically catalogue-based, over 68% of customers now shop on the web, mobile and through the call centre channels for their broad range of fashion, home and leisure items, toys and gifts. Serving 1.8m customers annually and, growing at double-digit, driving Findel Group performance.

Developed and launched with DeeperThanBlue in 2016 this digital transformation wouldn’t be possible without the use of IBM Integration Bus providing the glue between external systems of engagement, application services and the back-office systems of record such as finance, credit approval, warehouse management and order management applications. Christmas 2017 was a record for Studio and this Integration Bus helped keep the party going.
