Modern computer systems interact with one another with increasing complexity, and companies now have a treasure trove of data to understand their customers, purchasing patterns, and employee interactions better than ever before. In order to take advantage of all this data, the applications and devices at the core an organization’s business strategy must be accessible to each other—and, very likely, across multiple cloud environments.
Enterprise integration or enterprise application integration encompasses the technologies, processes, and team structures that connect data, applications, and devices from everywhere in your IT organization. By definition, it focuses on system interconnection, electronic data interchange, product data exchange, and distributed computing environments.
