Abstract :
With the evolution of the digital age, telecom industry proposes a variety of promotional activities to satisfy the market demands, such as fixed line, mobile, broadband access and Internet. However, the systems operate independently without a consistent communication standard. It reduces reusability and development efficiency. In this paper, we propose an information integration platform to expose services, improving the efficiency and stability of integration platform through flow control of service request, integrative monitoring, alarm-notification and single protocol service entry, such as SOAP/WS-SSL, REST/SSL, SOCKET and JMS/MQ. The integration platform provides convergence services with flexibility and reusability. Moreover, our practice releases more than 1000 service interfaces which called for over 300 million times per day. We have improved the bottleneck of interfaces entry. The average response time of each call is less than 1.5 seconds; moreover, the latency time of the integration platform is less than 0.2 seconds. Through the practice, the telecom industry is able to integrate services rapidly and increase company competition.
