These events are not synchronous, and they all trigger follow-on actions that ripple throughout different departments and operations across an enterprise. The vast volumes of information in play, all containing data critical to an enterprise’s day-to-day operations, is underscoring a dramatic shift in the way increasingly globalised business systems are integrated. The old integration ways cannot match the needs of today’s real-time business world Traditional methods such as integration platform ...
