Many
companies purchase modules from an ERP
vendor, an SCM vendor, and a CRM vendor and must integrate the different
modules together
-
Middleware
– several different types of software which sit in the middle of and
provide connectivity between two or more software applications
-
Enterprise
application integration (EAI) middleware –
packages together commonly used functionality which reduced the time necessary
to develop solutions that integrate applications from multiple vendors
