In this paper a set of successful Enterprise Application Integration projects are analyzed and common characteristics are identified. These characteristics are then distilled into a set of key success factors. The empirical foundation for this study is the active participation in a number of successful EAI projects, as a consequence thereof we classify the research method as action research. We...

To gain insight into increasingly intricate business, and deal with highly complex problem situations, an enterprise needs a more generic, standardized, pervasive and scalable infrastructure to fully leverage the information from different data sources, applications, and environments at both system level and content level. Based on a discussion of basic problem of EII (enterprise information in...

The paper presents the opportunities given by the Semantic Web technologies for the enterprise integration in the context of development of e-business software applications. Introduction In any enterprise, there are certain “IT-oriented islands” – legacy applications, database management systems (e.g., database relational management systems), client programs, etc. – hard to be incorporated in a...

In this paper we investigate the relationship between ICT infrastructure and innovation. In recent years the concept of the enterprise service bus has been introduced as an ICT architecture that supports strong integration of distributed components and services, but at the same time allows for adding or subtracting business partners at short notice. What are the organizational issues and challe...

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) has emerged to provide significant benefits to organisations. From a technical perspective, EAI overcomes integration problems at all integration levels (e.g. data level, process level etc) by providing a flexible and manageable Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. From a business perspective EAI reduces the overall integration cost due to the red...

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is a challenge for many organizations. Such integration often accounts for 1/4 of the cost of implementing new systems. Learning to do it well can have a significant impact on an IT organization. This tutorial will highlight the issues and key considerations for successfully integrating enterprise wide systems. Case studies will be used to highlight diff...

Enterprise information systems integration is essential for organizations to fulfil interoperability requirements between applications and business processes. To carry out most typical integration requirements, traditional software development methodologies are not suitable. Neither are enterprise package implementation methodologies. Thus, specific ad-hoc methodologies are needed for informati...
