integration brokers are middleware platforms for complex enterprise application integration (eai), enterprise information integration (eii), and business-to-business (b2b) integration.
they support flexible any-to-any integration and they provide orchestration engines that allow organizations to implement business processes that span various applications, including enterprise resource planning (erp) and customer relationship management (crm), and various platforms, including windows, linux, and unix.
integration brokers couple orchestration engines with flexible transformation and routing features to support multipoint application, process, service, and/or data integration. integration broker vendors - such as bea, ibm, microsoft, oracle, savvion, seebeyond, vitria, webmethods, and others - provide process-definition tools as well as connectors for interfacing to various application, operating, and networking environments.
integration broker value proposition
integration brokers provide an environment within which business processes can be rapidly integrated and just as rapidly revised. a flowcharted orchestration can become the template for rapid business-process reengineering. an orchestration-enabled organization can rise to new challenges and reform itself rapidly into whatever new business model or value chain suits the task at hand. by redefining rules, roles, and routes within a process map, organizations can integrate, aggregate, and orchestrate existing web services in new ways.however, general-purpose integration-brokering infrastructures are still the exception - not the rule - in most organizations. most orchestrated processes are limited to specific organizations, platforms, and application suites. system integrators typically use integration brokers as the basis for custom integration projects. by the same token, many enterprises invest in application suites that have embedded orchestration functionality.
nevertheless, enterprises should begin to implement general-purpose web services orchestration infrastructures, both within and between organizations and domains. orchestrated process models can drive structured interactions across any and all tier... 下一页
