This showcase sample demonstrates how to build the eMerged Financial application.
Although corporate e-business practices periodically change in response to new e-business technologies, fundamental corporate e-business needs remain in many ways the same. For example, companies still need to continue to enhance productivity and reduce expenses through improved business integration, both externally with business partners and internally within their own organizations. For some companies, the goal of improved business integration results in the outright acquisition of another company. When such an acquisition occurs, the acquiring company must quickly and easily integrate the applications and data of the acquired company into its own existing IT infrastructure.
This document follows the fortunes of eMerged Financial, a fictional company that is formed when a banking firm acquires a stock brokerage firm. Specifically, the document examines the enterprise application integration (EAI) challenges facing the newly formed eMerged Financial and shows how the company uses WebSphere Integration Developer to handle many of its EAI tasks.
Allow an hour to build the sample. You also have the option to Import the ready-made code for the sample and run it without building the application. See related topics for more information.
