Today, “change” is said to be the only thing that is constant.  Any entity attempting to resist change is sure to sing its funeral dirge soon enough. Traditionally, organizations have allowed IT drive their business thus resulting in irreparable damages to ROIs. These IT Systems and Applications are designed and implemented such that vendors force the “Application Users” to utilize them in the way they (vendors) have modeled it, rather than how the business has been structured. This in-turn leads to decreased productivity, patch fixes and intensive maintenance cycles in order to keep up with the ever changing demand from the business. On the other hand, organizations that showed competitive advantage, had realized this flaw, and thus changed their business strategy to let the Business Objectives drive the IT Implementation. The result being that the business aligns with the chosen technology to achieve a synergy that guarantees the desired ROIs and even more. This is the methodology of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)

We at GlobalInfoSwift Technologies believe that 3 years from now, any organization whose IT setup has not been re-engineered to harness EAI architecture stands a risk of spending more than 89% of her total costs of business trying to maintain and sustain her IT infrastructure only, as against other concerns. This of course naturally robs such companies of the profit margin or competitive class.

With an EA in place, the business changes can be applied in a controlled environment and the impact of the changes analyzed before they are applied and implemented in production. The EA will also provide the automation tools required to present the business processes in graphical form, facilitating ease of understanding of the process flows and interactions to the business community. One of the objectives of the EAI initiative is to optimize the integration of an organization’s business processes and the underlying business applications that support the processes in a sustainable manner. The EA framework will facilitate the transformation of a legacy of disparate business processes, applications and silo organizational structures into an integrated environment with optimized business processes.
