Categorization:
Challenge
The Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF), a key government entity in Saudi Arabia supporting national employment and workforce development, needed to modernise its enterprise architecture and build a unified, secure and scalable integration layer capable of supporting all internal and external interactions.
With 100+ external entities and over 30 backend systems (SAP, OutSystems, Oracle EBS, Microsoft Dynamics CRM), HRDF required:
- A secure and highly available integration backbone
- Support for multiple integration patterns (REST, SOAP, file, database)
- Compliance with government interoperability networks
- End‑to‑end visibility and monitoring
- A future‑ready architecture able to support ongoing digital transformation
Solution
Link delivered a secure, scalable and highly available SOA‑based integration platform, built on:
- Oracle Service Bus
- Oracle SOA Suite
- Kong Gateway for API governance and observability
- ELK Stack for monitoring, logging and traceability
The platform now connects 100+ external entities and 30+ backend systems, providing full lifecycle governance, multiple integration patterns, and unified operational visibility.
The engagement has been running for 60 months, supporting HRDF’s long‑term digital transformation journey.
