Enterprise Application Integration

EAI (Enterprise Application Integration), is defined as the methodology and technology of Any-to-Any integration of heterogeneous application logics and data repositories and formats so that they provide optimal automated value to each other and optimal synergistic value to enterprise and multi-enterprise systems.

EAI, as currently understood, is a solution to the Enterprise Application Dysintegration (EAD) problem rather than the solution because,in many ways,EAI is an ad hoc,tactical,and temporary patch to a fundamental cognitive issue of the partial foresight of system evolution.

EAI attempts to provide unanticipated new functionality to partially foresightful legacy architectures without having to incur the downtime,cost,and disruption of re-architecting and re-building currently useful legacy functionality. Clearly,this approach is not tenable in the long-term. EAI will eventually,in pieces over time, force a re-architecting and backward re-engineering of enterprise systems.

Goals of EAI

There are two broad domains of EAI:
Intra-Enterprise Application Integration and Inter-Enterprise Application Integration. Intra-EAI is the logical and infrastructural pre-requisite for Inter-EAI. And, architecturally,Inter-EAI is an abstraction layer riding on top of Intra-EAI. It is through Inter-EAI that the most profound large-scale macro-economic effects and benefits of eBusiness will appear. In fact, Supply Chain Integration, for example, is an application of Inter-EAI methodologies and technologies.
