Examine Issues Relating To Implementing an Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Solution.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c43295) has announced the addition of "Enterprise Application Integration (EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) Refers to various techniques used to share data and business processes in large enterprises. When companies acquire another organization, disparate information systems have to be made to work together. ) Market Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2006 to 2012" to their offering.

Application and business integration is used to form business systems that are flexible. The changing business climate is a central concern for IT departments. The ability to create products that allow for efficient and quick response to changing business conditions is the basis for EAI vendor strategy.

Data integration is the means by which organizations understand the data scattered throughout or external to their organization, access it and deliver it, adapted for its intended use, to enterprise applications. Organizations accomplish integration through internal hand-coded programs that extract data from one or more sources and deliver it to a target system.

Businesses today face a serious and widening information "Integration Gap" between system integration demands and their ability to meet these demands. Hand coding Writing in a programming language. Hand coding in assembly language or in a third-generation language, such as C or Java, is the traditional way programs have been developed. In contrast, visual programming tools allow full applications or parts of an application to be developed without  is less expensive than packaged integrations software in the short term.

EAI is the base technology for services oriented architecture (SOA (1) (Start Of Authority) The first record in a DNS zone file. See DNS records.

(2) (Service Oriented Architecture) The modularization of business functions for greater flexibility and reusability.
) he SOA broker components are industry specific scripts that implement specific functionality and create an on demand flexible IT infrastructure. The components are controlled by the SOA engine, which manages the directory and the flexible infrastructure that make the architecture work. SOA is middleware. Middleware works by leaving information in place and achieving business process IT through integration infrastructure.

Application integration software package requirements have evolved from hand coded functionality to encompass additional functionality, such as expanded connectivity, data profiling Data profiling is a process whereby one examines the data available in an existing database and collects statistics and information about that data. The purpose of these statistics may be to:
  1. find out whether existing data can easily be used for other purposes
, data quality enhancement, bi-directional meta data (data about data) management, data transformation and routing and highly scalable parallel processing parallel processing, the concurrent or simultaneous execution of two or more parts of a single computer program, at speeds far exceeding those of a conventional computer.  technology.

Key factors and trends driving demand for packaged application integration solutions include engines, brokers, adapters, and components.

The improved systems capability and proven return on investment for application integration markets represent the most compelling market driving forces. Companies that achieve faster time to market receive significant competitive advantage. The example of Apple achieving competitive advantage over Sony in the electronic music markets is a central and compelling issue driving every enterprise to look at the advantages of enterprise application integration.

EAI software license markets at $1.4 billion in 2005 are expected to reach $4.9 billion by 2012. (See Figure 2-14 and Table 2-15.) Markets are growing as the Internet dominates e-commerce channel adoption. Supply chain automation is a market driving force.

 industry has not been dented. Most integration is still achieved with custom coding. EAI licenses impact the banking and insurance industries. Companies in every industry are achieving competitive advantage from the use of EAI technology. It is used to replace batch processing (1) Performing a particular operation automatically on a group of files all at once rather than manually opening, editing and saving one file at a time. For example, graphics software that converts a selection of images from one format to another would be a batch processing utility.  with real time exchange of information. This is a significant market driver.
