Our systems integrators often guide and/or support the efforts of businesses and organizations aiming to simplify and automate their business processes. Often businesses may have IT systems which need to be linked together or have legacy systems that do not meet their current business requirements. Once the B&A consultants have identified the data and business requirements that will be integrated into a new enterprise system, they plan the system integration to provide a common framework for incompatible applications and/or systems. EAI is the process of linking such applications within a single system in order that data and business processes are shared among applications within the enterprise system.

B&A's Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) consultants can:

• Work with organizations to develop solutions that let applications, databases and mainframes interact with each other by automatically routing and transforming data so that it can be used by any application in the enterprise system.
• Provide solutions that utilize industry-standard technology such as Java, XML, or Web Services, or messaging software such as Websphere/MQ, WebMethod or TIBCO.
• Work with clients in the following areas:
  • System Integration: Provide a common framework for integrating incompatible and distributed systems.
  • Web Integration: Tie together applications, utilize Web Services and integrate them into an organization's business processes.
  • Simplification: Reduce the complexity of IT infrastructure and dramatically improve its reliability, flexibility and scalability.
  • Scalability: Provide infrastructure that will be scalable or flexible enough to support new initiatives or capitalize on perpetual shifts in the market.
