Enterprise Service Bus has become the ideal integration architecture for heterogeneous systems that facilitates integration between disparate applications with different hardware and software platforms. The aim of this work is to assess services provided by Ethiopian Revenue and Customs Authority for vehicle declaration those require integration and study the workflows of the existing system. This study provided an Enterprise Service Bus product evaluation matrix and four open source ESB products evaluated and the appropriate product for implementation selected.

The Enterprise Service Bus product evaluation matrix prepared by reviewing variety of research papers by different professionals and organizations and the products evaluated based on the matrix. Based on the result from the comparison, the WSO2 ESB is used for developing the integration scenario. The development of the scenario is done using WSO2 ESB and detail information on the design and development is included. Finally the design and implementation of the integration scenario is done using the selected ESB solution that is WSO2 ESB and the integrated system evaluated by performing functional testing. The result of the functional testing indicated a successful outcome for all the test sets.
