Enterprise Integration
EAL’s enterprise integration service assists our clients to develop enterprise integration architectures, service-oriented architectures, and integrated service designs that provide the basis for:
- the secure and efficient integration of business systems;
- the secure and efficient integration of business processes;
- the secure exposure and control of internal and external facing services; and
- the consumption of external services provided by processing partners.
EAL has implemented enterprise integration architectures using all major vendor platforms and can assist our clients in choosing the integration platform most suited to their budget and their needs.
EAL’s enterprise integration service can also provide component architectures that enable businesses to be more flexible in their adoption and use of packaged services (e.g. SaaS).
Why Would You Need This Service?
Within the modern technology world integration is a fundamental theme. Rich interactions across the internet demand integrated services presented to customers, suppliers, partners and internally within the organisation. All of this requires a robust enterprise integration capability and a flexible and secure integration architecture.
Increased integration enables more efficient business processes and the possibility of monetising data and services in a way previously not possible; however, it also poses a significant security threat as the inner functions of a business are exposed to the world. A properly designed integration capability can transform a business, a poorly designed one can be an existential threat.
