HS/Link

HS/Link (Hyper Service Link) is a proprietary protocol and associated technology developed by Hitachi Solutions for facilitating communication and data exchange between different software applications and systems, particularly within the context of enterprise-level integration. It acts as a middleware component, enabling disparate systems to interact and share information in a structured and reliable manner.

Key characteristics of HS/Link include its emphasis on guaranteed message delivery, support for various data formats and communication protocols, and tools for monitoring and managing the data exchange process. It typically involves a central server component that acts as a hub for routing messages between connected applications.

HS/Link aims to simplify the integration of diverse systems, such as ERP, CRM, and supply chain management applications, by providing a standardized interface for data exchange. This reduces the need for custom coding and point-to-point integrations, promoting a more maintainable and scalable integration architecture.

The specific details of HS/Link's implementation, configuration, and supported features vary depending on the version and the specific needs of the implementation. It is often deployed in environments where robust and reliable data integration is critical for business operations.
