While talking to various business and technical architects, I realized that most of them have very confusing ideas behind usage of any enterprise class systems, EIS (Enterprise Information System) like ERP, CRM, SCM, HRMS etc. For most of the persons each of EIS is specialized for some business function and some time domain. This view may be satisfying for business folks but must not be sufficient for architects.
Any EIS serves few of the basic functions:
1. Focuses on a specific business function and or domain.
2. Managing Business objects life cycle.
In any enterprise which has many EISes to accomplish business objectives, need integration. To keep the essence of EIS intact and not duplicating the data across EIS Integration and Information architects has to be very careful. The information flow (essentially business objects transfer from one EIS to another EIS) must be controlled and business objects which have achieved a certain state (in life cycle) in source EIS should transferred to target EIS.
