Achieving a competitive advantage through business agility has triggered the increasing demand to integrate and extend business-critical applications, processes and data throughout the enterprise. Far too often, systems are poorly integrated; thus, the competitive value of information is muted, as data is not accessible or synchronized with other business processes in real time
Enterprise Application Integration continues to be a top strategic priority for CIO’s and CTO’s and an enterprise-wide challenge for organizations simply because:
- Crucial business functionality is spread across a wide range of custom and packaged applications.
- Customers are increasingly demanding a single, customer-centric view into business, regardless of existing stovepipe systems.
- Real-time B2B integration is placing additional demands on the automated execution of business processes across the enterprise
Furthermore, as Web-based service solutions mature, organizations will inevitably turn their attention to ensuring interoperability between emerging Internet service solutions and existing EAI solutions; this is where BEAT comes in
BEAT Enterprise Integration solutions based on Microsoft .NET enable your organization to achieve business agility through the convergence of systems, applications, processes, people and data. This convergence can be done through integrating fragmented business processes and disconnected silos of information.
A standard EAI system provides a broad list of services including security management, protocol management, data mapping, and other related functions. These services define the functionality and flow of data in the application.
EAI solutions can benefit an organization by providing end-to-end visibility and control of business operations. This control improves interactions with partners and customers, increases responsiveness to business changes, enables new market opportunities, and makes captured knowledge more widely available. |
