About Solutions

Enterprise Application Integration, SOA

EAI solves the problem of communication and data sharing between enterprise applications. Lack of communication leads to inefficiencies, where identical data are stored in multiple locations, or straightforward processes are unable to be automated. Enterprise application integration (EAI) is the process of linking such applications within a single organization together in order to simplify and automate business processes to the greatest extent possible, while at the same time avoiding having to make sweeping changes to the existing applications or data structures.

SOA (Service-oriented architecture) is a flexible, standardized architecture that is required to better support the connection of various applications and the sharing of data. It unifies business processes by structuring large applications as an ad hoc collection of smaller modules called services.
