Enterprise Information Integration
Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is a process of integrating information in real time and on-the-fly to provide a unified view of any organizational data. The issue of combining multiple data sources under a single query interface has existed for long time. One common solution is to implement ETL or ELT to merge the information into a single database. However this tightly coupled approach brings up some problem like the “freshness” of data and the time it takes to integrate the data. The purpose of EII is to address such problems by providing a loosely coupled solution to integrate multiple data sources. The metadata driven EII engine dissects a query into several single data source queries and combines the result sets on the fly. The EII solution is considerably faster to implement for any ad-hoc integration needs.
