Abstract
Currently, enterprises are running with many applications simultaneously to accomplish their business processes more appropriately and precisely. The real challenge for the enterprises is to build strong relation between those applications in terms of technical, development and data integration. Enterprise application integration (EAI) solutions are there to facilitate enterprises as an intermediary supervisor. The main purpose of EAI is to work as a middleware for supporting and integrating all business processes; internal and external. Supply chain management, customer relationship management, billing and finance are some major applications which required to be integrated especially with respect to databases. This paper discusses about the EAI, its characteristics, distribution layers, and formation. In addition, we discussed that incorporation of data mining is much helpful and positive addition in original architecture of EAI. Although data mining implementation with EAI is just to support enterprise information and processes, but it can work with almost each application's database(s) prior or after integration. Therefore an enhanced framework presented for EAI which highlights the data mining inclusion in original EAI architecture.
