Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)
Today, industries like Supply Chain Management which manages inventory and shipping, CRM for managing current and potential customers, Business Intelligence for finding patterns from existing data from operations, and other Data management applications viz., Human Resources, Health Care, Internal Communications, typically they cannot communicate with each other to share the data or business practices, rules etc.If these applications cannot communicate efficiently and share the data, then there is a lot of manual process, storing the same data in multiple places, cost and manpower involved. Our key activities while implementing EAI:
Bus/Hub : This is usually enhancing the middleware viz., application server, message bus.
Connectivity : Bus/Hub connects applications through a set of adapters (Connectors). We leverage the adapters to communicate between the applications, as they play very important role in application integration which describes, how to (Protocol), what to (Data Type) and communication direction (one way and two way), access level etc. We make sure these adapters will be compliant to security guidelines of each individual application which are participating in integration.
Schema Validation and Transformation : To avoid the erroneous data format and inconsistent data, we validate each message comply with the application it is communicating. By using transformations we convert the data to application format to bus?s common format. We apply semantic transformations on the data to share it other applications accordingly.
Integration Module : An EAI system could be participating in multiple concurrent integration operations at any given time, each type of integration being processed by a different integration module. Integration modules subscribe to events of specific types and process notifications that they receive when these events occur. We identify each individual integration module and the events it raises and notifications it has to be sent to etc. We will identify how many integration modules have a dependency with in them, to figure out process transactions.
Support of Transactions : We clearly identify the transactions in application integration. The transactions have to be supported across the applications. We leverage distributed transaction controller by applying two-phase commit protocols or compensating transactions.
