Abstract: It is an inevitable approach for enterprises to enhance their competences by eliminating information isolated
island and integrating all kinds of their internal and external resources. Based on analyzing the necessity and effect of EAI
systems in integrating the enterprise’s applications, by using J2EE, Web Technologies and workflow, this paper expounds
some ideas on the design of application platform and communication platform and platform of managing workflow
system and whole framework of B2B enterprise. It has some referenced significances for resolving the inter-connection of
some kinds of B2B enterprise’s application systems.
Keywords: EAI, J2EE, systems, web technologies
1. INTRODUCTION
With the advent of knowledge management and knowledge exploitation comes Internet-oriented
Management of Information Systems (MIS), which drives traditional information managements and
information exploitation out of services.
Current enterprises MIS tried to combine all possible components together such as ERP, CRM, SCM,
E-commerce, knowledge management, collaborative Business and data warehouse management. The
combination is supposed to replace ERP-centered commercial application framework. In the MIS, each
application system is developed from different system structures and software for different customers due to
various system platforms ranging from super mainframes to Internet. There is no way to communicate
thoroughly among these separate components.
Therefore, most enterprises run like “isolated islands of information”. Problems arise when systems are
isolated from internal and external information entities. They are unable to take on exchanges of information
streams, value streams and supply streams both internally and externally.
Facing challenges from global competition and low profit of market, it is pragmatic for B2B enterprises
to implement the integration of all independent components of the MIS, and seamlessly connect different
system platforms together in order to improve communications among them. To connect all components
together, efficient design in general is essential. Obviously, the integration of components of MIS inside
enterprises is the first step, then the combination of internal and external systems form complete integrated
systems. The key point is to develop integral, comprehensive systems, which chain all “Isolated islands of
information” together. So the ultimate goal of integration is that the whole enterprise MIS works like a
seamlessly single virtual system, which is connected to Intranet / Internet and synchronize all information
processes. In a word, the integration systems strengthen enterprises’ competence to compete in the
competitive world.
