Application
integration is innate to almost all e-business system development.
Applications can no longer exist as
stand-alone entities but instead must share information with other
information systems, inside and outside corporations. Indeed,
organizations have been moving closer to a well-integrated enterprise
and (in some instances) supply chain that provide most information
systems with access to real-time information from other applications
when needed.
Thisinformation-oriented application
integration is the most popular way of doing application integration
today.
However, as real-time information exchange
between systems improves, the trend is to view application integration
at a higher level of abstraction or through business processes. This
approach allows those exchanging information between various
applications to view the information flow in the context of a business
model, or business processes that define business logic, sequence,
sub processes and hierarchies of processes. This ability to control
application integration through abstract business process automation
abstractions that also account for lower-level mechanisms such as
transformation and intelligent routing can be called business process-orientedapplication
