Re: <TECHNICAL INFO>

Shen,
From my experience, EAI stands for 'Enterprise Application Integration',
or the practice of integrating enterprise applications and/or business
systems together. EDI is of course 'Electronic Data Interchange', and is
the practice of sending and receiving data with business trading partners.
Sterling Commerce has recently released their new GENTRAN Integration
Suite product, which was designed to greatly help with the process of
integrating EDI with applications within the enterprise, as it supports a
multitude of connectors and adapters to facilitate the integration
process. Sterling has adapters for Ariba, PeopleSoft, J.D. Edwards, SAP
R/3, Lawson Financials, and many other entripise software solutions. It
will also easily integrate with CORBA, JDBC, LDAP, and RMI function calls,
which are commonly found in many internal in-house company applications.
The GENTRAN Integration Suite product is most definately a great example
of how one can perform EAI with EDI business data, and I would recommend
taking a look at their product information if you're interested in
learning more about EAI and EDI in the enterprise. Hope this helps.
