Patni believes that Enterprise Integration (EI) is an End-to-End, Modeled-to-Measure approach towards developing opportunistic business practices spanning across organizations, people, systems and applications, facilitating propagation of business procedures and information across the value chain in an optimized fashion. Based on this definition, Patni has developed an Integration Framework, which emphasizes on the business scenarios/events that lead to integration rather than just talking about technology or related products. The framework will help in identifying and quantifying integration–induced benefits and flexibility that an organization might achieve. The framework covers all aspects of integration – starting from business processes to technology deployment, for successful EI implementation.
