Enterprise Application Integration (eAI) streamlines cross-functional business processes by enabling the open flow of information between systems, across organizations, and between enterprises. In the process eAI creates a shared infrastructure for the enterprise that makes information from multiple sources easily accessible and actionable: bridging legacy and Web applications, connecting networks and computer systems, and supporting flows of information of all types across functional and geographic boundaries. Because eAI is business-process based, chemical companies that choose to deploy eAI instill their business processes with increased flexibility, efficiency and speed, characteristics that are valued in any economic circumstance, but especially now. This article explores how, why and where eAI works best.
