Businesses are expanding at a feverish pace today. Organizations are also far more global than ever before . Their processes extend outside their own organization so by nature, they have to be very dynamic and agile in the markets they’re in. As businesses are unleashing the true potential of what IT can do for their organization, they are adding more and more applications to automate business processes. This scenario is further compounded as new technologies crop up every day making the older ones outdated even before they are properly understood. IT architecture has gotten out of control. Years and years of applications on top of applications has led to a static and dysfunctional IT architecture that needs to be fixed. Inorganic business growth by means of mergers and acquisitions also adds to the woes of IT department in the form of application redundancies and technology incompatibles.
The biggest challenge is how to make all these small applications work together as a pseudo system. It is a problem that just wont go away.
EAI is an opportunity to that, and SOA (Services Oriented Architecture) is an architecture that supports integration.
EAI (enterprise application integration) is a business term for the plans, methods, and tools aimed at modernizing, consolidating, and coordinating the computer applications . They form a co-operating amalgamation of applications .The goal of enterprise application integration (EAI) is to provide timely and accurate exchange of consistent information between business functions to support strategic and tactical business goals in a manner that appears to be seamless.
EAI is not a technology per se, but a collection of tools, techniques and technology which enable applications to effectively interoperate. With technology development becoming affordable, businesses on every scale are opting for EAI.
