Apart from system installation, the modules also facilitate quick response to new business requirements, which include updating security patches, increasing the size of the database, or changing the setting of a server to ensure maximum performance. Hajee adds, “We allow you to focus on just the processes that make your applications run, all the other details are handled by our modules.” Hajee mentions an instance where Enterprise Modules helped a client, Dutch Rail, achieve their goal of replacing legacy systems with new applications to manage train personnel, rolling stock, and train timetables. The project involved a large and complex environment of multiple systems that used an extensive development, testing, acceptance, and production (DTAP) process to move the software through different quality gates and get to the required quality level. Keeping multiple system configurations across various environments in sync proved to be a complicated, time-consuming, and error-prone process. Especially, the transition from the test environment to the acceptance and production environments was difficult. Enterprise Modules collaborated with Dutch Rail to make the provisioning of new environments and deployment of new versions as smooth and easy as possible. To reach these goals, Enterprise Modules built a model of the required infrastructure using Puppet as description language. The full range of Puppet modules from Enterprise Modules for Oracle and WebLogic were used to describe an Oracle RAC database setup and a multi-system WebLogic clustered environment. Using the single Puppet model for all environments in the DTAP, Dutch Rail was able to iterate and move to a consistent and functional setup quickly. There were vast improvements in the speed and flexibility of building and maintaining different environments in the development pipeline since configuration was now fully automated.

Having been acquired by Conclusion in 2016, a business transformation and IT services provider, Enterprise Modules is now part of the Conclusion ecosystem. This has empowered Enterprise Modules with the capability to partner with sister companies in the Conclusion ecosystem to solve provisioning and deployment automation issues for clients. The acquisition also helped Conclusion become an integral player in the field of data and integration services due to Enterprise Modules’ deep knowledge of Puppet modules. Moving forward, Enterprise Modules will continue to enhance its products to help clients become more agile and increase their application delivery speeds along with faster and more efficient time to market.
