Abstract: The modern business environment becomes increasingly globalized and tightly packed and this exerts pressure on the organisations to react to events much faster than before. In such dynamic conditions, sharing up-to-date information, synchronizing data and ensuring access to strategic and decision-supportive knowledge are a top priority of critical importance. As it is known, these activities are carried out by the enterprise application and integration infrastructure, which is facing a large set of different and serious issues due to modern organizations’ size and characteristics. These issues, combined with the various business context and models, related to different organizations and economic sectors led to development of a wide variety of software integration approaches and techniques, which applicability depends on the context of the business case. Knowledge of different software integration approaches and their business applicability can reduce software research, development and integration costs in large organizations and can give them access to more up-to-date and detailed business and market information for gaining competitive advantage
