Data level enterprise applications integration

Abstract

Information integration across heterogeneous systems is a key issue for successful enterprise application systems development. Particularly challenging is integration of different applications deployed on different platforms into one integrated and stable business information system. This paper summarizes results of resolving a real enterprise applications integration problem during an ERP system implementation. The solution resolves the integration problem by using the data level integration approach. The solution is general but only its core functionality is presented in this paper. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
