They have to deal with all kinds of IT assets: legacy systems, trading partner systems, custom applications, systems from mergers and acquisitions, packaged applications, systems in autonomous business units and disconnected databases.
All the while, technology keeps evolving. Business needs change. Pressures mount to reduce costs. And, all of these factors complicate the already troublesome challenge of achieving some semblance of integration and coordination among many heterogeneous parts.

Meanwhile, other companies take a major step forward. These integration-savvy competitors know how to make critical business information accessible across the enterprise. Theyre realizing the benefits of seamless integration provided by an Enterprise Service Bus(ESB) , which works across heterogeneous systems to improve communication and processes and enable high-value customer interactions, which in turn can lead to higher profits.
