Enterprise Application Integration
EAI enables companies to leverage best-of-breed applications and systems across the enterprise. It is an attractive alternative to forcing your business into a one-size-fits-all ERP.  EAI enables the development of leading edge eBusiness applications, while extending the life of legacy systems and related technology investments. EAI enables near-real-time, system-to-system communication across the enterprise. It can also extend and integrate internal systems to suppliers, partners, and customers. EAI can help reduce costs, increase efficiencies, and allow a company to respond quickly to changing market conditions.  An EAI framework allows a business to open its “silos” of information and to integrate end-to-end business processes. This creates a seamless near-real-time enterprise that can be a competitive advantage for any business.

VIP has crucial hands-on expertise with the leading EAI packages.  This allows us to help our clients cut through the “hype” and volatility and independently assess the strengths and weaknesses of the various vendors in the marketplace.  In addition, VIP has an EAI framework that provides a solid approach for planning and delivering EAI solutions.  The Framework helps VIP clients design and deploy solutions with confidence.

VIP tailors the following services to offer a solution that meets the unique needs of each client.  This might include as little as making a recommendation for which product to buy, to as much as implementing an enterprise turn-key solution that also includes all of our software engineering capabilities.
