EAI Middleware

by John Kneiling

Description

Middleware is at the center of intelligent and integrated E-Business IT architectures.
As companies restructure, merge, acquire, and disperse, middleware is called upon to bridge the gap between platforms, application architectures, data formats, and new paradigms such as web services and XML-based applications, within the Enterprise and beyond.
This seminar provides a detailed review of a variety of Middleware technologies and products, and shows how your enterprise can use them to develop and integrate directories, portals, web services, data warehouses, operational and other applications using software from IBM, Microsoft, Software AG, BEA Systems, Borland, and other vendors.
Real-world case studies are used for illustration. The materials are supplemented by relevant articles and references to resources such as web-sites and books.
