Some of the main challenges associated with enterprise application integration are as follows:
- Networks are slow and unreliable: Enterprise integration applications need to transfer data from one application to another. These applications may reside in different states, countries, or continents. In such situations, data needs to be transferred through a LAN or a WAN, or a combination of both. Transferring data through diverse network topologies and protocols introduces significant transmission delays and other types of interruptions that become a stumbling block in enterprise application integration.
- Heterogeneous application platforms: While integrating multiple applications, it is important to keep in mind that each application will have its own platform and operating system. To ensure seamless integration between such applications...
