Beyond ERP ... The EAI Market

The Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) market follows a logical forward usage trend after ERP implementation in an organization.

Vendors like IBM, BEA, Seebeyond, SAP, Siebel and even Microsoft are playing in this EAI Middleware space.

However, just like the ERP market, the EAI Business will consolidate rapidly as most enterprise customers want inter-operable solutions from their multiple vendors.

Web services, Open Source and Offshore Outsourcing Development will further accelerate this consolidation.

Whether you are in Boston, Beijing or Bangalore, Offshore Outsourcing will make your job vulnerable at some point in time in your career, unless you are globally competitive.
