Enterprise Application Integration

by Paul Harmon

Every large company has hundreds of applications that were developed to solve one problem and are being used today for vastly different purposes. There's the accounting system that was designed to update customer accounts and generate statements that's now being used to provide online customers with information about their account balances. There's the shipping database that's currently used not only to ship products to retailers but also to routinely search for shipping patterns that might identify groups of products that could be advertised or discounted together. There's the catalog application that was created to manage the generation of new catalogs that now supports Web site updates as well.
