Before You StartBefore You Start1. What are the business processes.

2. Who owns them.

3. What is the “Data Space” in which your processes function?

4. Do you need to just interface or do real integration? If so do you need to reengineer your processes.

5. Be sure to consider the potential advantages of true EAI.
