Evolution of Enterprise Application Integration Technologies

Abstract: IT infrastructure can have a wide range of diverse technologies, platforms and applications that need to interoperate to serve business goals. Enterprise Application integration (EAI) which can be defined as “the enablement of data sharing between heterogenous information systems within one enterprise” is becoming more and more essential to enterprises as it streamlines business processes, ensures the integrity between different systems, reduces labour cost and minimizes human errors. This paper presents the different generations of enterprise applications integration technologies that evolved over the past 30 years to link different IT enabled solutions together. The paper covers the architectural features and challenges associated with each generation of Enterprise Application Integration [EAI]. Keywords: Enterprise Application Integration, Middleware, Integration Platform as a Service.
