Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) License and Services
Market Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2004 to 2009

Key challenges for application integration (EAI) projects relate to developing point solutions that will scale. Fast systems operation is a significant aspect of project implementation. Point solutions implemented in a departmental environment may not scale to the entire enterprise. Speed is a significant factor in system evaluation.

Accommodation of the continuing shortage of IT skills is solved by EAI, because packaged interface logic is substituted for the need to use programmers to build custom interface logic. Many EAI systems need services that cost ten times as much as the packaged software to implement the system. This situation is changing as new EAI software is easier to install and to use.

The direction of EAI markets is for growth to continue. Proprietary broker systems are needed to implement systems that have an architecture that can be controlled. to change that face of business as it enables the management of change.

Real time exchange of information is continuing to replace batch processing. Network computing depends on systems that can be interconnected with a broker to manage the flow of information. EAI is useful because it implements real time network electronic processing in the context of a hub that replaces point to point connections. EAI delivers on the promise of electronic data transfer, creating the paperless office.

As EAI systems become easier to implement and less expensive, they will be utilized more. EAI permits distributors to interface electronically to large enterprises. EAI is extending to small and medium size markets.

The need for enterprises to work together is the B2B and exchange aspect of EAI. The ability to exchange information efficiently and automatically with other organizations represents a strategic initiative for every enterprise. Integration systems linked to the business applications arise in the context of supply chain, value chain, distribution, channel strategy, and strategic partnering considerations.

Enterprise application integration (EAI) combined license and services market forecasts analysis indicates that revenue of $2.5 billion in 2003 is expected to go to $5.9 billion by 2009.
