2 -In this microlearning, we will focus on learning how to start with the eMagiz environment. What steps are required before starting the Capture phase and what do I need to do so effectively?
2 +With this exercise, we start our journey into the eMagiz platform. This exercise will explain the business case used throughout all exercises linked to the Crash Course Platform Course. In the following exercises, we will guide you step by step through the platform so you can learn how to use it.

12 +To kickstart your journey into the eMagiz platform, we have selected a set of exercises linked to the Crash Course Platform course that will guide you through the platform in building and validating your first integration. To start things off, we will introduce the business case in this exercise that will be used to model out the correct solution in eMagiz.

16 -Integration can be regarded as something that is privy to the Developer savvy people, but eMagiz provides a unique way to connect IT people with the Business people using a platform that allows to create integration fast, capture the integration and associated business process inside the platform, and make the complete technical infrastructure transparent for both business and IT people involved.

33 -To ensure that the business is involved in making the correct decisions when building up your integration landscape you can define the specifications of the integration in terms of business criticality, managing your information, managing your integration, business benefits, etc. Each of these aspects can then be registered in the first phase of eMagiz, the Capture phase. In this phase you can Capture the relevant business and IT requirements that you and your team will need to succesfully design, build, run and manage the integration landscape.
18 +Transport INC is your typical medium-sized logistics provider fighting to stay ahead of the competition. To keep profits up, they are required to boost sales or reduce costs. While Transport INC is not a big player, it has a loyal customer base. However, it is precisely this customer base that is chewing up the operational budget, as many of the orders are still placed by phone. To reduce its costs, Transport INC sees an opportunity to integrate with its customer base and remove costly and error-prone phone orders.
34 34  
35 -The eMagiz platform uses the Integration Lifecycle Manager as guidance to create integrations with.
20 +To reduce operational costs, Transport INC can implement a standard integration layer, which requires their customers to do a lot of implementation themselves. Besides, it also forces customers to provide orders in a predefined format, which means they may have to perform a transformation. A second option is to hire an integrator that will build a custom integration fitting precisely to the current needs of Transport INC. This option seems just right. However, it is very costly and will scale poorly in the future because any adaptions to the process of Transport INC will require new investments. That is why Transport INC choose the third option, eMagiz. eMagiz provides business engineers with the tools to build integrations that are scalable and easy to manage.

22 +After choosing for eMagiz, Transport INC started by taking up their requirements for their process. The process they currently have is that Customers can call the service desk of Transport INC to place an order. The service desk will input the order into their transport management system, where a planner can plan the order. After it has been planned, the customer is notified by phone that the order is planned.
38 38  
39 -In one of our upcoming microlearnings we will delve a little deeper into each of the five specific phases that eMagiz consists of.
24 +For this basic case, we want to ensure that the first part of this process is implemented in eMagiz correctly. With the first part, we mean automatically storing customer orders in the Transport Management System (TMS) of Transport INC. The following information about this process is given:
40 40  
41 -== 4. Assignment ==
26 +“The first customer that Transport INC would like to integrate is CAPE. CAPE is one of their biggest customers and sends an average of 10-20 orders per day. CAPE is a company that sells its products in the local markets. So it only requires local milk runs. This means that their orders can be processed until noon each day.
42 42  
43 -There is no assignment for this microlearning other than reviewing the videos from the website mentioned below.
28 +The orders are sent in real-time, requiring that eMagiz constantly check if new orders have been provided. Each order will be delivered separately, so no batch processes are required. Since CAPE sends out an average of 10-20 orders per day, the service manager of Transport INC has also determined that he would like to receive a notification when orders have not been provided over the last day at noon. Their orders are delivered in the form of XML messages. These orders can be put in a local folder. Using the eMagiz platform, these orders are picked up and sent to Transport INC, where they are sent to their back office transport management system.“
44 44  
45 -== 5. Key takeaways ==
46 46  
47 -* eMagiz allows business and IT people to work jointly to create integrations
48 -* eMagiz is a comprehensive platform that allows ad-hoc integrators to perform all required activities to run the platform
49 -* The ILM phases are key in the way of work in eMagiz.
31 +== 3. Solution ==
50 50  
51 -== 6. Suggested Additional Readings ==
33 +* Understand that the integration consists of two parts
34 +** Retrieve information from a folder on which CAPE places its orders
35 +** Provide input to the Transport Management System (TMS) of Transport Inc.
