Integrating Siebel 8.0 Applications

Course Description

This course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge to integrate Siebel CRM applications in a variety of integration strategies. This course is intended for members of Siebel implementation teams (customer, partner, or system integrator) who are responsible for integrating Siebel applications with other applications in their systems. The course focuses primarily on Siebel technology and concepts and discusses key Service-Oriented Architecture(SOA) technologies such as Web services.Participants learn various Siebel Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) technologies, thus enabling them to select and implement an appropriate integration strategy to meet their business requirements. They learn how to use these technologies to implement both point-to-point integrations and hub-and-spoke integrations. Students learn how to integrate Siebel CRM with Oracle Fusion Middleware using both Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Services and BPEL processes. This course also discusses Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) and shows how the use of canonical objects and application-independent business services can reduce the effort to integrate a large set of applications.Learn To:Use the Siebel EAI tool-kitBuild integration workflowsUse Siebel Web servicesIntegrate Siebel CRM with Oracle Fusion MiddlewareConfigure external and virtual business components
