What is EAI?
What is EAI? EAI refers to Enterprise Application Integration.
EAI is the merging of applications and data from various new and
legacy systems within a business. Various means are employed to
accomplish EAI, including middleware, in order to unify IT
resources, maximize new ERP investments, diminish errors and
get everyone on the same page. EAI enables companies to link
their existing software applications with each other and with
portals. EAI provides the ability to get their applications to
exchange critical data. EAI is usually close to the top of any CIO's
list of concerns. There are different approaches to EAI. Some rely
on linking specific applications with tailored code, but most rely
on generic solutions, typically called middleware. XML, combined
with SOAP and UDDI, is a kind of middleware.
Data Warehouse & ERP
– ERP = Enterprise Resource Planning
Characteristics:
1. Subject Oriented
Data naturally congregates around major
categories within any corporation. These
categories are called subject areas. For example,
subject areas are bill of material, customer,
product, and criminal profile. The subject area
will be designed to contain only the data
appropriate for decision support analysis.

2. Integrated
Data integration is displayed by consistence
in the measurement of variables, naming
conventions, physical data definitions
across the data. There will be only one
definition, identifier, etc., for each subject
area.
