Enterprise
Application Integration (EAI) has risen from obscurity
into a robust main-stream technology. EAI technologies
comprise a healthy section of the technology
market and helped bring to fruition such key concepts as:
• Straight-Through Processing (STP)
• Real-time data delivery
• Peer-to-peer computing
• Business-to-business exchanges.
EAI implementations often provide many benefits and the
technology has changed the way business occurs today, and
will continue to shape business methods in the future.
EAI technologies are catalysts that the IT staff can
leverage to rapidly serve the business’s needs. They help
IT personnel deliver solutions faster. EAI technologies
typically consist of architecture by which disparate
processes and systems
can be “glued” together, but these technologies consist of
complex tools that require applying a tight methodology in
software design and development. |
Decision-makers need to gather as much information as
possible when considering various EAI technologies. The IT
enterprise without EAI would be rather inflexible and
limiting. EAI has made life easier; it has brought order
and reduced entropy in the enterprise by cleaning up
inter-application spaghetti. Successful EAI
implementations re-quire a journey to make it all happen.
Ideally, decision-makers should enlist the counsel of
trusted advisors who have successfully completed this
journey previously. The technology choices you make will
dictate whether your EAI implementation is successful,
cost-effective, and robust.
