Enterprise Application Integration
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is a key aspect of BizTalk Server. EAI involves the integration of different software applications within an organization, enabling them to communicate and work together seamlessly. By integrating different applications, organizations can streamline their business processes, reduce costs, and improve overall efficiency.
BizTalk Server provides a comprehensive EAI solution that includes a range of features and capabilities for integrating applications. These include:
Messaging: BizTalk Server provides a messaging infrastructure that enables different applications to communicate with each other using a range of communication protocols, such as HTTP, FTP, and MSMQ.
Orchestration: BizTalk Server provides an Orchestration engine that enables business processes to be modeled and automated. Orchestration enables different applications to be integrated and coordinated, allowing data and messages to flow between them in a controlled and efficient manner.
Adapters: BizTalk Server includes a range of adapters that enable different applications to be integrated with BizTalk Server. These adapters support a wide range of communication protocols and enable integration with a range of applications, including ERP systems, databases, and web services.
Business Activity Monitoring (BAM): BizTalk Server includes BAM, which provides real-time monitoring and tracking of business processes. BAM enables organizations to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in their business processes. Business Rules Engine (BRE): BizTalk Server includes a BRE that enables organizations to define and enforce business rules within their applications. The BRE enables organizations to automate business decisions and improve overall efficiency.
