The Chief Technical Consultant of the BEA System (China) believes that for EAI, many manufacturers can speak different answers. EAI has many levels, the most original, and most simple integration is data integration, so that the data of this system can be used for other systems.
There is also a hierarchical integration, such as application A. Some is real-time, some are agreed, all users can manage in a unified interface, after which they can start and external partners integrated.
A higher level, we manage all the applications and data through a business process, let it run through a lot of application systems, run through a lot of data, run through many users, run through a lot of partners. When we add all integration means and hierarchy, we can do the last level, which is the integration of business processes. The management platform of the business process is controlled by the business, rather than controlling IT staff, giving him a fully open platform, giving him a design means, let the business people pass a process from head to tail, let the business People monitor the changes in the entire business, through such a process integration, truly EAI's highest level.
