POSCO uses Fiorano Enterprise Service
Bus™ for flexible Integration and Business
Process Automation
Steel manufacturing is one of the most complex processes. POSCO is
facilitating the Steel Manufacturing process by leveraging the power of
technology to simplify many business related tasks such as connecting
the manufacturing systems to its digital management system called
POSPIA. POSPIA consists of POSCO’s e-Sales and e-Purchasing and
across the company’s value chain over the web. To help make this
happen, the company selected Fiorano Enterprise Service Bus™ (Fiorano
ESB™) as its Integration Platform for its flexible Integration and Business
Process Automation Capabilities. With Fiorano ESB, POSCO is
successfully streamlining and automating internal processes companywide and also web enabling many of its operational support systems,
improving service to its customers in the competitive Steel Manufacturing
marketplace.
