The document discusses integration and middleware. Integration involves connecting different software applications from various vendors together to share data and communicate effectively. Middleware is software that links separate applications, acting as glue between them. Common integration methods include application-to-application, business-to-business, and cloud integration using adapters, EAI tools, and ESBs to connect disparate systems in real-time and maintain integrity across multiple applications.

1. Integration is nothing but integrating different applications software like SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Siebel etc.
which belongs to different vendors. Integration is binding of different applications, which may belongs to different
vendors together to achieve effective communication and sharing of data.
How do I connect different software which belongs to different vendors?
Adapters are used for connecting different vendors. For each application there will be adapters
What is EAI? What are the tools are used?
EAI is an integration method for integrating the applications within your organization. There is another kind of integration called B2B
What are the Advantages of EAI?
Real time information access among systems.
Maintains information integrity across multiple systems.

2. What is Middleware?
Middleware is a software that links two separate applications or is commonly used to illustrate different products that
function as a glue between two separate applications
Application To Application (A2A) Integration: Integrates various company-managed applications together, including
cloud-based and remote systems
Business To Business (B2B) Integration: Integrates customer, provider and various alternative partner interfaces with
various data resources and company-managed applications
Cloud Integration: Integrates with and also between the cloud services, cloud-based applications (SaaS), private
clouds, trade hubs and other typical cloud resources through Web services and standard B2B communication
(FTP, AS2, etc.)
