Web Services and Application Integration

In the world of ‘Stovepipes’ and ‘Vertical application silos’, it is increasingly demanding to consolidate diverse business applications that are critical to the success of e-businesses. The ‘Value-add’ of extended enterprise applications such as CRM, SCM, ERP will not be realized without the technological ‘glue’ that integrates them into the core of the enterprise. As companies develop more sophisticated e-business scenarios, under the rubric of ‘Application Integration’, the need to provide flexible and seamless integration with various application packages, as well as internally developed software, becomes increasingly apparent and point-to-point solutions could only result in an ‘Application Spaghetti’.
