Regarding the differentiation of Enterprise Integration and
Executive Information Systems....My impression of the EIS
movement is that it was primarily focused on monitoring, rather
than execution, types of applications.... Enterprise Integration
on the other hand is about helping the enterprise function, not
just monitoring its performance.
Kevin,
I agree with this. At the ICEIMT, the EI Modeling SIG came to a
similar conclusion. EI Models were being used more for executive
information (and perhaps not even monitoring) than for helping
the enterprise function. An "omnidirectional flow of data and
execution" is indeed critical to EI. WIthout feedback, an
EI model is not very useful, or used. Apparently.
