Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Trading
Partner Integration (B2B)
EAI automates business processes by integrating the
heterogeneous lines of typical business systems and applications.
Significant benefits are realized by increasing the efficiency and
productivity of business processes by automating the data exchange
between applications and providing efficient access to the
information for various users. EAI lays the foundation for business
centric optimizations such as Straight-Through Processing (STP) and
Business Process Management (BPM)
B2B spans the boundaries of an enterprise and supports
inter-connected and integrated processes between trading partners
with increased focus on data integrity, security and support for
many industry-specific Electronic Document Exchange (EDI) protocols
such as EDI/X12, EDIFACT, SWIFT, ACORD, AS2, HL7,
HIPAA
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an evolution of the
traditional EAI and provides the principles and guidance to
transform a company's existing array of heterogeneous, distributed,
complex and inflexible IT resources into integrated, simplified and
highly flexible assets which can be transformed and composed to
more directly support business goals. Service orientation is an
approach to organizing distributed IT resources into an integrated
solution that breaks down information silos and maximizes business
agility.
Business Process Management (BPM)
Business process management (BPM) is a management discipline
that combines a process-centric and cross-functional approach to
improving how organizations achieve their business goals. A BPM
solution provides the tools that help make these processes
explicit, as well as the functionality to help business managers'
control and change both manual and automated workflows. BPM is an
IT enabled management discipline that promotes organizational
agility and supports the efforts of people to drive process change
and rapid innovation. As such, BPM supports the alignment of IT and
business activities both within the organization and with business
partners and suppliers.
