Enterprise Application Integration Using .NET is the software designer’s and developer’s guide to building an effective Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) solution using the Microsoft .NET Framework. This book delivers a software solution that leverages the .NET Framework’s superior tools and processes to fulfill the system integration and process streamlining goals of your organization.

The book begins by identifying the hazards you are most likely to encounter in analyzing specific integration problems. The focus of the book is the EAI Framework. This framework is a learning tool that is also a flexible and extensible EAI solution. It is written in C# and shown in Visual Studio .NET; detailed instructions on writing the code are included. The companion Web site, www.EAIFramework.com, provides all source code and examples from the book, as well as utilities and articles that will help you extend and modify the EAI Framework.

Readers learn how to

·      Recognize integration problems and opportunities

·      Gather all requirements

·      Use the EAI Framework

·      Customize the EAI Framework

Organizations of all sizes looking to reduce costs and increase productivity need to do a better job of sharing information and applications among computer systems. Achieving EAI is faster and easier with .NET. Enterprise Application Integration Using .NET shows you exactly why and how.
