EAI Solutions
As the number and complexity of systems and applications in today's enterprises continue to grow, more and more IT organizations face the challenge of Enterprise Application Integration. Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) can be described as efficiently linking diverse applications and systems so that they work as one and provide seamless business functionality. This challenging task requires an agile e-business infrastructure and a robust and flexible integration architecture that enables to share exchange and distribute data and functionality in a unified structured manner. Creating such a architecture demands the use of right mix of technologies and products.
ITOLIA provides e-Buisness and Enterprise Application Integration solutions in the following areas:
- Application Communication
- Application Integration
- Process Integration
- B2B Integration
- e-Business Services
ITOLIA is committed to provide state-of-the-art Enterprise Application Integration solutions to its customers, considering their special business, time and budget requirements, but without making any compromises for meeting the key technical requirements such as flexibility, extensibility and scalability. Our consultants have years of solid data/application integration experience gained in large-scale projects across multiple industries such as finance, banking and publishing.
There are different techniques and methodologies for integrating systems and applications. When done without a clear strategical direction and a structured architecture, integration solutions that may seem to meet today's immediate integration requirements can lead to difficult and costly to fix application/data problems for the enterprise in the long run. ITOLIA believes that the key to long-term success is an robust, flexible and extensible e-business architecture that meets today's needs as well as tomorrow's challenges. we provide e-business and EAI solutions that:

-B2B solutions: such as IONA/NetFish XMLBus T, CandleNet eBusiness ExchangeT
Application Communication
A basic application integration infrastructure is established between
applications and databases to allow disparate applications developed in
different languages and platforms to communicate. These include
program-to-program communication mechanisms such as RPC, RMI; object-level
integration architectures and Object Request Brokers (ORBs) such as CORBA,
DCOM; messaging systems, Java Message Service (JMS) and data-level facilities
such as remote database/file access mechanisms.

Application Integration
Advanced middleware tools such as Application Servers, Web Servers, Integration
Brokers, Message Warehouses and Gateways are used to create robust, structured
application integration architectures with extended functionalities such as
e-business functionality, distributed transaction management, data
synchronization across multiple databases, data translation and transformation,
protocol translation, rules- and content-based routing, legacy integration,
connectors and adapters to various applications, databases and packaged
applications such as SAP and PeopleSoft. In addition to object-level
integration, service-level, loosely-coupled, event-driven architectures are
used.

Process Integration
Process integration architectures that use Process Automation, Process
Management and Workflow systems are used for coordinating entire multistep
business processes across the enterprise. Graphical modeling tools are used to
design and automate business processes. The workflow of a business process
provides the context for integration. The rules that govern the sequencing and
ensure the integrity of business transactions are defined.

communicate with their external partners, suppliers and to integrate data and
transactions across organizational boundaries. These include B2B process
management, partner management, XML-based business-to-business messaging,
business-to-business security and web-based technologies that facilitate
business transactions among trading partners.
