Up to 40 percent of the total corporate IT budget is typically spent on systems integration. There is increasing pressure on IT and IS departments to deliver and maintain higher numbers of complex interfaces increases, due to mergers and acquisitions, front to back-office integrations and supply chain integration. This business reality is making faster, more reliable and less expensive integration between the Web and the company, applications within the company (A2A), and the company and their business partner systems (B2B) a necessity.
