ICT13629 - iBus2 Integration Proof of Concept

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done To support the iBus2 Procurement in late 2020, TfL wish to carry out a Proof of Concept (PoC) on the use of integration services to decouple legacy services and transition to new solutions. Please note that the entire PoC will need to be completed by 02/11/2020. Further details on the PoC, the high level requirements and the expected deliverables are contained within the 'PoC Supporting Document. Please contact Jud Broscombe-Walker (JudBroscombeWalker@tfl.gov.uk) to receive a copy of the document. Problem to Be Solved TfL currently has a legacy service to monitor and control the Bus Services, which is due for replacement. TfL wishes to test the principle of using integration services to decouple this legacy service to mitigate the risk of transition and simplify future integration. Who Are the Users As a member of the iBus2 Project Team, I need to understand the feasibility of using integration services to de-couple legacy services and transition to a new solution in order to help TfL shape its approach to integration and transition for the iBus2 Project.
