Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)
The Market Research Firm Meta Group estimates
that the average Global 2000 firm has roughly 49 systems applications.
Forrester Research Inc. and Gartner Group Inc. both estimate
that companies spend up to one-third of its IT budget to get
applications to talk to each other.
Purely stated, EAI is the challenge of making independently
designed application systems work together. The
focus of EAI is the business processes within an enterprise.
These business processes are associated with planning, managing,
and executing the business functions themselves. Within the
context of enterprise business processes, there are three
significant business object integration points. They are as
follows:
 |
1) |
Outside the enterprise
|
| |
2) |
Managing within the enterprise
|
| |
3) |
Executing within the enterprise

Business
Object Integration
Business object integration is defined as integrating
the software that automates the direct business functions
that occur in an enterprise. This includes invoicing,
customer order processing, payments, inventory, billing,
etc. These functions are the focus of the integration
work. In order to share data across heterogeneous systems
there must be a common format used and each set of specific
data representation must be mapped to it.

When
setting out to integrate business functions, a recipe or methodology
must be designed. RTR believes it is essential to understand
the data transformation challenges, the application needs, and
the business requirements in order to provide a scalable Enterprise
Integrated Solution. By using the best tools and methods in
