The goal is to focus on the difficulties and promises of integrating applications across the enterprise. In the 70’s and 80’s companies started on major integration projects so that their disparate applications such as accounts receivable and accounts payable would be integrated together. In the 90’s vendors such as SAP and Peoplesoft were successful in helping many organization integrate their applications. However, the rapid rise of ebusiness meant that in many organizations integration efforts were often abandoned so that web based systems could be rapidly deployed. Starting from simple web sites to complex transaction processing systems companies now (again) have to face new challenges in integrating their web projects with traditional systems.
