Abstract

Integrated systems enable capabilities and performance that independent systems cannot offer. Systems integration, or enterprise application integration, establishes linkages between different computer-based information systems and databases and thus is often required to achieve business integration.There is no conceptual modeling technique designed to help systems integrators elicit, represent, and analyze enterprise-wide integration requirements. The technique proposed here is shown to be structured and easy to use.
