• Enterprise application integration is an integration framework composed of a collection of technologies and services which form a middleware or "middleware framework" to enable integration of systems and applications across an enterprise.

• Enterprise application integration is the process of linking such applications within a single organization together in order to simplify and automate business processes to the greatest extent possible, while at the same time avoiding having to make sweeping changes to the existing applications or data structures. Applications can be linked either at the back‐end via APIs or (seldomly) the front‐end (GUI)

What is Integration?

• Interface: where two or more separate software products communicate under limited capacity. Data is maintained in multiple locations;

• Integration: A fully integrated system means that the products are one

Integration or Interface?

• Best of breed: source of truth owned and maintained by authoritative systems.

• Accessibility: view related information in real or near real time.

• Compliance: tapping into solutions without the need to consider compliance. – Records Management

Integration Benefits

How do we achieve Integration?

Refer video called ‘What is an API.mp4’

Page 6: What you dont know about integration Final · •Best of breed: source of truth owned and maintained by ... – Different available technologies Open Windows Oracle Integration

• Platform availability or compatibility– Middleware or API compatibility between systems– Cost of ownership for Native API’s– “Go it Alone” using Direct Integration approach

• Parties working together– Common goals and objectives– Benefits realisation– Skin in the game

Integration Complexity
