Enterprise Business Integration (EBI)

Home / Service Offerings / Enterprise Business Integration (EBI)

Overview

Enterprise Business Integration (EBI) enables businesses to communicate with enterprise applications in two ways. First, EBI allows access to a platform-independent extract of the enterprise application’s data. As such, the data remains the same even if it is moving from a Windows NT platform to a Mainframe platform. Second, EBI allows interaction with the business logic within the enterprise application, like the data entered by the user through a browser can be validated with the business rules within the application.

EBI also enables enterprise applications to interact and pass data amongst themselves. For example, data synchronization is a common issue in larger companies. Master level data, such as employees, tend to be duplicated in many enterprise applications, when an employee’s record changes in one application, the changes do not automatically propagate to other applications that maintain the same data. Using EBI, a change made in one application can propagate to other applications.

The various methods of a typical Enterprise Business Integration approach are:

	Point-to-Point Custom Interfaces
	Remote Procedure Calls
	Database Integration
	Message Oriented Middleware
