The improved systems capability and proven return on investment for application integration markets represent the most compelling market driving forces. Companies that achieve faster time to market receive significant competitive advantage. The example of Apple achieving competitive advantage over Sony in the electronic music markets is a central and compelling issue driving every enterprise to look at the advantages of enterprise application integration.

Enterprise networks represent the core business capability. Enterprise application connectivity is significant for internal IT departments and to connect to distributors, suppliers, partners, and customers. The ability to send information between disparate applications is relevant to every aspect of network computing.

EAI refers to integration projects inside the enterprise network with employees and over the Internet with partners. Application integration is the base for business process integration, the integration of information relevant to projects inside and beyond the borders of the enterprise. Integration products are broad initiatives able to integrate heterogeneous IT departments as well as target point solutions.

Integration products are becoming more highly developed and less expensive. Portals shift the focus of integration to include integration initiatives beyond the enterprise.

The integration demands of e-Business present major technical challenges. In an attempt to address business challenges, organizations have implemented various ERP enterprise applications to handle the core processes.

Application Integration (EAI) technologies address the need to interconnect distributed islands of computing. Real time network communication of information implies that computing application resources are interconnected. Solutions have limitations in terms of time-to-market, cost, performance or flexibility.

EAI markets at $2.4 billion in 2004 are expected to reach $8.2 billion by 2011. Markets are growing in line with e-commerce adoption. Supply chain automation is a market driving force. Companies in every industry are achieving competitive advantage from the use of EAI technology. It is used to replace batch processing with real time exchange of information.
