CONTENT ENRICHER

Background​

  • target system usually requires more information that source system can provide
  • Example below
    • Scheduling system: source
    • Accounting system: target
    • Customer Care: dataSource (contains additional information that scheduling does not have)

Pattern​

Benefits​

  • No modification to CC / Scheduling system (might not be able to in the first place)
  • Loose coupling between source and target
    • Albeit tight coupling between enricher and dataSource
    • But this is ok because of the inherent nature of the data
