Plan your ESB implementation by creating a step-by-step plan outlining how the solution will be integrated into the organization's current IT landscape and deployed with designed integration patterns. Following the proper configuring and integration of the tool, you can then begin to train users and automate business processes.
As you plan your implementation, document how to:
- Design and refine the system architecture
- Configure the solution
- Design and build initial integration patterns
- Pilot completed patterns
- Go live with the ESB implementation
- Transition management of the ESB to the operations team
In order for these steps to be successful, recognize change management concerns and create a communication and engagement plan that will support the adoption and management of your organization's ESB tool.
