EAI

Avon Technologies Software's integration solutions support EAI projects in two key ways. First, enterprise application integration solutions can be built directly using Adapter Manager and adapters. Message transformation and mapping, routing, and application access can occur rapidly and with an absolute minimum of custom code, making it easy to integrate disparate systems. Unlike custom point-to-point integration, Avon Adapter Manager based solutions can be easily extended to plug into any standards-based platform as integration architectures evolve to support straight-through processing initiatives and large-scale Web services deployments. Avon allows you to get value-added projects into production quickly without impacting any future platform decision.
