New and powerful forces are changing the way business is done--the advent of the global economy brings increased world competition, while the move to rightsizing means working smarter is more important than ever.

In today's business environment, bringing a product to market involves people making countless decisions. The people may be in the same office or on different continents. They may even work for different companies. Wherever they are, they need to exchange information.

This document addresses that need by examining:

What is Enterprise Integration?

This new business environment requires a whole new way of doing business-one which makes it possible to respond instantly to changes in demand, technology, and competition. One that isn't restricted by time, distance, or organizational structure. That's what integrating your enterprise is all about--people connecting in ways that redefine how business is done.

Integrating your enterprise is more than just connecting your workgroups. Its connecting across enterprises to give people a quick and easy method of creating and expanding business partnerships.

And that's why the Enterprise Integration Network (EINet) is the best solution today. EINet complements and extends a company's current working environment with a standard means for interconnecting work groups, suppliers, and customers. EINet helps you quickly form strategic alliances and seize market opportunities.

The Next Step--Electronic Commerce

But integrating your enterprise is more than just sending e-mail and downloading files. It's actually doing business online. It's developing and selling products electronically. The two key factors in making electronic commerce a reality are:

With EINet, electronic commerce is a reality now.

Business on the Internet

Many organizations have built private networks to vertically integrate their businesses. Because most of these networks are proprietary systems they are costly and restrict the free flow of information. To form dynamic relationships, the conduit for information must be open and available. The Internet offers a ready answer.

The Three Musts: Security, Security, Security

You've heard the adage that the three key ingredients for success are location, location, location. But with electronic commerce, location becomes irrelevant. Security is the overriding concern. You want to know that only the people authorized to access information can do so. Your partners want to know that they can trust the integrity of their interactions with you.

EINet's unprecedented structure includes a fundamentally different approach to security. An approach that makes security a fact, not a question.
