Avnetwww.avnet.com Rebate Management System for SOA Environment Project Lead: Bill Chapman, CTO
Project Description: Rebate Management System was conceived as a part of Avnet's enterprisewide SOA. The solution was developed
using Fair Isaac's Blaze Advisor business rules management solution, with Avnet creating Java EJB services to attach it to
Avnet's SOA. Avnet used Web services, Oracle Stored Procedures, and JMS messages to call the business rules engine and to
process massive amounts of Oracle-based data. This provided the latest rebate information and real-time monitoring for customers
against dynamic sales goals. Avnet created the rules framework with reusable components, establishing the scope of knowledge
and logic foundation. It used WebMethodsand Informatica software as the middleware layers to integrate ARMS with more than
10 systems, including order management, invoicing, CRM, ERP, and HR.
