Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is the base for the unification and flexibilization of a company's business processes. The aim is to homogenize and integrate the multitude of used systems and applications.

Mostly the existing applications are isolated applications which are connected via a complex interface-"mish mash". These connections are expensive (with every new application, or even worse with every change of an application they must be updated), inflexible and complex. If e-business or internet comes into play also business processes and the information- and data management must be adapted.

Ideally all applications use a shared information- and knowledge pool, are connected via a central workflow, are combined to individual transactions and users operate them via one interface on one platform.

To realize such szenarios Corinis supplies a framework based on future-proof technology. Within the application layer all modules, applications and functionalities are connected to the central core module by XML interfaces. This module allows centralized database-, session-, rights-, user-, role-, and workflow management. Communication is done with XML, therefore any external systems may be integrated with easy to develop XML-adapters in the system. A central and highly flexible workflow-control allows connecting the modules to individual workflows and create a completely integrated solution.

As Corinis is also flexible in the data layer (the connection to the application layer is also done by XML), applications with different datastorage- and database systems can be integrated.

The flexible presentation layer, which also communicates with the application layer via XML, allows not the only the unified presentaton of the system's functionalities, but also the the individual presentaton of bundles of functions on user or workflow level. This holds true even for end devices. Therefore mobile devices can be integrated easily without adapting the backend solution.

Above all Corinis offers professional solutions for content- and community management which can also be integrated. With these the professional implementation of an e-business strategy and the necessary backend integration is significantly easier.
