Mindwell MindBIF cuts integration costs by shortening the implementation time and decrease the project risk through the use of proven interfacing components.

Mindwell MindBIF is a component based software library used to accelerate the implementation process. The components may be built as stand-alone modules or assembled as packages using multiple interfaces. Encouraging reusability, MindBIF is the constantly evolving, production quality foundation upon which our integration services are based. One of the driving factors behind MindBIF is the ability to provide a higher level, business oriented layer on top of the lower level connectivity components, to shift focus from technical issues to business logic, rapidly moving into data mapping and functional requirements. At a given cost, this means that you will derive more business value from a MindBIF integration project, spending less time and effort on technology issues.

MindBIF is used both in system-to-system integrations (e.g. Sungard FRONT ARENA to Simcorp DIMENSION or Sophis RISQUE) and in system internal extensions (e.g. instrument pricing using the MONIS or NumeriX libraries).

MindBIF Connectivity - examples

• Data sources such as MSSql, Sybase and Oracle
• Messaging services such as MQ Series and ARENA Message Broker
• Market integration through ARENA Market Servers
• Pricing libraries such as NumeriX and MONIS

MindBIF advantages

Component based design:

• Existing modules may be deployed off the shelf, giving immediate hands-on experience and the ability to test basic data flow ideas in very early stages of the development process
• The implementation time is radically shortened
• Focus can be shifted from technical issues to business logic, effectively separating the business layer from the technical implementation

Software reuse:

• Software issues are greatly reduced, resulting in production grade solutions
• The install base benefits from existing knowledge and future improvements and additions
• Solution lifecycle management becomes a natural trait rather than a problem
