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
