ENTERPRISE APPLICATION INTEGRATION (EAI)

Connect Applications, Data & Business Processes

workMETHODS' Enterprise application integration (EAI) solutions securely link applications within your organization and outside in order to simplify and automate business processes to the greatest extent possible, while at the same time avoid making sweeping changes to the existing applications or data structures.

We have expertise in achieving goals of EAI using various market-proven technologies such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). We include existing IT assets in the SOA/ESB framework to minimize disruption and to ensure that existing IT assets are reused. Typical applications and functional areas we integrate include:

Business Intelligence
Big Data Analytics
Supply Chain Management

Service Ordering
Vendor Management
Customer Relationship Management

Integration Monitoring & Support

Support production integrations through monitoring, troubleshooting, error handling, updates, and performance improvements.

ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION MODEL

How workMETHODS Connects Systems Across Four Integration Levels

Data-Level Integration

Synchronize information between systems so customer, operational, enterprise, master, and reference data remains consistent where teams need it.

Application-Level Integration

Connect application functions through APIs, middleware, services, or connectors so separate software components can exchange data and actions.

Process-Level Integration

Link business workflows across multiple systems so a process can continue from one application to the next with fewer manual handoffs.

User Interface Integration

Bring information from multiple systems into a unified view or working interface so users can access the data they need without moving between disconnected screens.

CONNECTED SYSTEMS, PRACTICAL BUSINESS VALUE

The Benefits of Enterprise Systems Integration with workMETHODS

Better Collaboration

Shared information moves between systems instead of remaining trapped in individual applications, helping departments coordinate work with fewer delays and handoffs.

Smarter Automation

Connected applications make it possible to automate workflows that span multiple systems, reducing repetitive data entry and manual process steps.

Simpler IT Management

Reusable integration patterns, shared services, and clearer interfaces can reduce the complexity created by large numbers of isolated point-to-point connections.

More Data Visibility

Integrated systems improve access to current information across applications, helping teams see transactions, status, and business activity with fewer disconnected data views.

Less Manual Effort

Automated data exchange and process handoffs reduce duplicate entry, repeated reconciliation, and administrative effort that adds cost without adding business value.

Greater Flexibility

A well-planned integration layer makes it easier to connect new applications, replace individual systems, and support changing business requirements without redesigning every connection.

APPLICATION INTEGRATION & AUTOMATION

Frequently asked questions

Enterprise Application Integration connects different business applications and systems so they can exchange data, coordinate processes, and operate as a more connected environment. It can involve APIs, middleware, messaging, integration platforms, and workflow automation.

Yes. A core goal of integration is to connect useful existing systems without unnecessary replacement. workMETHODS' original EAI approach includes existing IT assets in the integration framework to minimize disruption and support reuse.

workMETHODS has experience with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) approaches. Depending on the current environment, integration can also use APIs, middleware, web services, connectors, messaging, and other suitable integration patterns.

Yes. Integration can bridge SaaS and cloud applications with on-premises databases, enterprise applications, APIs, and existing systems. The design depends on security, data movement, latency, authentication, and operational requirements.

Integration can automate processes that span multiple applications, including data synchronization, approvals, routing, notifications, order processing, service requests, onboarding, task creation, reporting feeds, and other repeatable cross-system workflows.

We account for authentication, authorization, access controls, data validation, error handling, message tracing, logging, testing, monitoring, and recovery requirements as part of the integration design and production support model.

Application integration connects applications at a functional level so systems can exchange data and trigger workflows in real or near-real time. Data integration focuses more on collecting, transforming, and combining data from multiple sources for a consistent view, reporting, or analysis.
