Enterprise Application Integration
There can be no e-business without effective integration
with mainframe and host systems. This is one of the most
critical areas of e-business integration.
The most significant issue facing CIO's of companies is
how to integrate various parts of their enterprise. Over
the years, enterprises have built many disparate systems.
These islands of information use several storage systems,
including file systems, traditional database systems, and
PC storage systems, such as spreadsheets. To make the situation
more complex and challenging, these disparate systems and
applications are implemented in several programming systems,
including third generation languages such as COBOL, and
fourth-generation languages such as PowerBuilder.
To succeed in business today, the entire enterprise has
to work together seamlessly. Typical Fortune 1,000 enterprises
can have as many as 1,000 islands of information, encompassing
up to 5,000 or more applications. The main issue facing
CIO's is how to integrate these islands. Moreover, integration
means much more than simply putting all applications on
an information bus to achieve application connectivity.
This also requires integration of business processes across
corporate boundaries and physical locations within and outside
the enterprise The main reasons for enterprise application
integration are:
- To present user applications with a unified view of
information for better decision making
- To achieve cross-system consistency
