What is EAI?
EAI represents Enterprise Application Integration. It supports an integrated method to connecting the different elements of IT infrastructure- people, software, platforms, and databases to allow secure, intra and inter-enterprise collaboration.
EAI solutions allow an organization to merge business processes internally and externally with business partners to make dynamic environments that provide current and developing business requirements, thereby making a global organization.
EAI helps in unrestricted sharing of records and business processes between any connected software or data sources in the enterprise without creating major changes to the software or data structures. EAI combines multiple, freely developed software using incompatible technologies into an individual enterprise-wide system with data flowing seamlessly.
Enterprise Application Integration deals with techniques and structure to combine multiple software and deliver processes, and each business process provides a specific business use case and each business process contains various sub-processes, which also implement some related functions for achieving the complete aim of the business process.
Moreover, as each business process works across different functional areas (which are generally realized using several applications), there is also a requirement for implementing specific business activities that can provide the entire business process in the context of the functional area.
The EAI solution operates at both data level and business process level and helps in sharing information of multiple applications. This sharing of information contains several types of a business processes based on the type of data sharing involved.
