Migration Definition

From Legacy Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) to AI-Enabled Agentic Commerce

A comprehensive technical guide for transitioning from Websphere/Mulesoft to modern A2A (Agent-to-Agent), AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol), and UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol)

Functional Requirements

This migration addresses critical enterprise challenges: disconnected data stores, conflicting state management, and compliance liability. The new architecture provides unified data orchestration, real-time consent services, and comprehensive security.

Data Store Consolidation

Resolve disconnected E-Commerce, PIM (Product Information Management), CRM (Customer Relationship Management), WMS (Warehouse Management System), and fulfillment systems into a unified data layer with idempotency management.

  • Single source of truth via Shopify Global Catalog
  • Real-time sync across all channels
  • Conflict resolution with idempotency

Real-Time Consent Services

Manage user consent across Mobile, E-Com, POS (Point of Sale), IoT (Internet of Things), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), CRM, and headless apps with cryptographic audit trails.

  • User Data Consent History JWE (JSON Web Encryption)
  • WebSocket-based real-time propagation
  • UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) Session integration

Secure Token Management

Two-tier token system with JWE session tokens and transaction tokens linked to User ID with complete history.

  • Session tokens with consent versioning
  • Transaction tokens with mandate chain
  • Non-repudiable audit trail

DSR (Data Subject Rights) Reporting for Enterprises

Enable enterprise organizations to manage data privacy and Data Subject Rights reporting across all systems.

  • Automated DSR request processing
  • Multi-system coordination
  • GDPR/CCPA compliance dashboard

Risk Mitigation

De-risk enterprise liability from out-of-sync data caused by single-direction Websphere/Mulesoft overrides.

  • Bidirectional sync with conflict resolution
  • Eliminate data loss from batch overrides
  • Complete audit trail for compliance

Socketed Encryption Service

Replace sequential data processing with end-to-end encrypted socketed services to eliminate security risks.

  • Zero-knowledge architecture
  • Field-level encryption at rest
  • Per-message WebSocket encryption
