Natis, Massimo Pezzini, Daniel Sholler, Ross Altman, Kimihiko Iijima Enterprises need systematic application integration functionality supporting robust messaging, multiple B2B protocols and cloud APIs. We examine vendors with products providing features addressing the needs of systematic application-to-application, B2B and cloud-based application integration. Market Definition/Description Application integration is defined as giving applications that were designed independently the ability to work together. In 2008, Gartner republished a seminal paper identifying three integration patterns: data consistency, multistep process and composite application integration (see 'Understanding the Three Patterns of Application Integration'). Data consistency integration is about making data across all applications consistent.

For example, if a customer changes a billing address in a CRM application, that changed data is pushed out to other applications (such as accounting, billing and ERP) so that those applications can update their databases with the new data. Multistep process integration entails orchestrating the execution of a sequence of business process activities, regardless of whether these activities are performed by software (applications or services), humans, or intelligent devices. Comprehensive support for multistep process integration entails supporting multiple styles of business integration, including system to system, collaborative, document-centric and administrative. Composite application integration creates what appears to be a single application, purpose-built from the ground up to address user requirements. But if examining the deployment of the application, you will find components, both business logic and data, that are a part of existing production applications. Initially, these integration patterns were applied for internal, application-to-application (A2A) integration and for integrating an organization's applications with those of its trading partners — that is, B2B integration.
