Enterprise Linux Today: OpenEAI Project Launches

“The OpenEAI Software Foundation and the University of Illinois
today announced the formation of the OpenEAI Project, an open
source Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) initiative that
will collaboratively develop and perfect standards-based
integration technologies.

“The OpenEAI Project will investigate and document the
controlling dynamics, principles and practices of enterprise
application integration and present, implement and promote these
findings. The OpenEAI Project will present findings in the form of
the OpenEAI integration methodology and OpenEAI integration
software and documentation.

“According to Richard Mendola, Associate Vice-President for
Administrative Information Technology Services at the University of
Illinois, ‘The OpenEAI methodology and work products have the
potential to drastically reduce the costs and time involved in
integrating systems at the University of Illinois. In addition,
with the support of a major ERP vendor like SCT, we believe these
benefits can be extended to the larger higher education domain. The
open source nature of the project will allow us to collaborate with
others to expedite the evolution of the software and realize these
benefits together in as rapid a fashion as possible…'”
