ENTERPRISE APPLICATION INTEGRATION & BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS INTEGRATION

In their simplest forms, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is the exchange of data and information between the different enterprise applications within the organization; B2B Integration involves the exchange of information between organizations.
 
NEED FOR INTEGRATION

In this tightly integrated business world of ours, whether one is a 'new economy' company, 'old economy' company or a hybrid, there is always a need to integrate enterprise applications and business processes within one's organization and to externally integrate with other organizations.

 

ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION APPLICATION
 
To achieve speed and compress business cycle, it is absolutely essential that different systems that are touched in a single business process behaves and interacts as a single virtual system. Traditional point-to- point integration between pairs of systems proves to be a nightmare for enhancements and maintenance. These "spaghetti integrations" are gradually replaced by the concept of an integration server. Rapid adoption of XML by more and more applications has also made integration touch-points more accessible.

BUSINESS TO BUSINESS INTEGRATION
 
The maturing of the internet as a viable and secure commercial network and standardization effort by organizations such as RosettaNet and BizTalk.org, opens a wide possibility in a new medium, where organizations can coordinate and collaborate with each other closely and cost effectively. Internet B2B integration offers a real opportunity to exceed traditional EDI to automate almost all data flow across the supply chain.
