Business Process Integration (BPI) refers
to the ability to define a commonly acceptable business process model that specifies the
sequence, hierarchy, events, execution logic and information movement
between systems residing in the same enterprise (viz. EAI) or systems
residing in multiple interconnected enterprises. BPI solutions allow enterprises to take advantage of systems that are already in place by automating and managing the business processes that span these systems. With BPI, enterprises can preserve major investments in legacy systems thereby avoiding the expense of having to write additional code to replicate existing functionality.
