Integration is the process of enabling a communication between disparate software
components. Integration has been the burning issue for large enterprises in the last twenty
years, due to the fact that 70% of the development and deployment budget is spent on
integrating complex and heterogeneous back-end and front-end IT systems. The need to
integrate existing applications is to support newer, faster, more accurate business processes
and to provide meaningful, consistent management information. Historically, integration
started with the introduction of point-to-point approaches evolving into simpler hub-and-
spoke topologies. These topologies were combined with custom remote procedure calls,
distributed object technologies and message-oriented middleware (MOM), continued with
enterprise application integration (EAI) and used an application server as a primary vehicle
for integration. The current phase of the evolution is service-oriented architecture (SOA)
combined with an enterprise service bus (ESB). Technical aspects of the comparison between
the aforementioned technologies are analyzed and presented. The result of the study is the
recommended integration strategy for large enterprises.
