3 Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Market Opportunities, Market Forecasts, and Market Strategies, Application Integration is used to shape flexible business systems. Integration is the fundamental layer of IT infrastructure, providing connectivity across applications and across platforms. EAI software license markets are growing as the Internet dominates e-commerce channel adoption. Supply chain automation is a market driving force. Integration of applications by the financial services industry has not been dented. Efficient process consolidation is supported by EAI middleware. EAI software solutions are used to support software developed in-house to enable the rapid construction of Web portals and other Web-based systems. Typical implementations are related to systems running on a mixed group of servers, under different operating systems. Application and business integration is used to form business systems that are flexible. The changing business climate is a central concern for IT departments. The ability to create products that allow for efficient and quick response to changing business conditions is the basis for EAI vendor strategy. Businesses today face a serious and widening information "Integration Gap" between system integration demands and their ability to meet these demands. Hand coding is less expensive than packaged integrations software in the short term. Packaged applications efficiently accomplish the basic broker and adapter functions needed for integration. Business processes are automated using eai systems. Further EAI functionality is achieved via extract, transform, and load functions. The application integration markets have migrated to another level of functionality. EAI is synonymous with the infrastructure for business integration (BI). As the application vendors begin to support connectivity across applications and across platforms, the integration markets are moving to another level of functionality providing business automation. Worldwide application integration software markets at $4.6 billion in 2006 grew substantially as vendors were able to leverage the EAI expertise to provide competitive advantage from middleware infrastructure. Markets are anticipated to reach $11.5 billion by 2013.
