Point-to-point integration has limited scalability and organizations are turning to enterprise architecture that contains a common conduit for application and data integration.
Your Challenge
ESBs can be a tough sell as a solo project
Present ESB implementation in the context of a larger strategic project, supporting a key business objective like revenue growth.
Bring the passengers on one at a time
Attempting to connect too many applications to an ESB simultaneously puts business process improvement and rule definition at risk.
Define your integration route based on business criticality
Adding an ESB to your enterprise architecture does not mean that every application needs to be connected; focus on key applications that will support the most critical business processes.
