Overview of the book.  
Table of contents

5 out of 5 stars"One of the most important books on EAI published this year", June 12, 2001 - Mike Tarrani, Amazon Top 100 Reviewer

5 out of 5 stars"This is an important book that serves two purposes: it is a solid collection of application integration models that should be in the toolbox of all IT/IS professionals whose job entails enterprise architectures or application integration, and it is a clear roadmap for those folks who have just been told that their company just acquired another and the systems need to be integrated into a coherent whole without disrupting the business operations of either organizational unit. It serves both purposes exceptionally well. Bravo Ms. Brown!" 

- Linda Zarate, Amazon Top 100 Reviewer

Integration Models: Templates for Business Transformation is aimed first at technical managers who are often in the front lines of EAI projects, experiencing at first hand the need for proven strategies and methods of Enterprise Application Integration.  This book offers a knowledge base in integration methods and a catalog of templates to provide a starting point for chief technology officers, technical leads, or system architects.  This book also benefits system integrators, IT strategists and architects, members of the project teams that support and deliver EAI projects, and business application vendors of DBMS, ERP, business applications and front office systems.  

  • Understand the increasing need for integration techniques in today's complex business environment, the context for EAI, and whether your company or the industry in which it operates has an increased need for integration.  

  • Learn the set of modeling templates you can use to improve integration on any business or technology project.

  • Follow case studies of real-life examples that demonstrate how you can apply integration techniques to specific kinds of projects. 

"Your book on integration is refreshing indeed (a good departure from what I would characterize as superficial diatribe contained in most commercial texts on the topic)."  - Joe Schwartz Managing Director, Scient
