Traditional EAI solutions are heavyweights , very powerful, very expensive, very complex. The high degree of complexity requires very careful planning and design, expensive experts, and long development times.

Budget overruns and missed deadlines are common when either the required time or expertise are in too short supply. Business critical features such as an operational framework and/or robust error handling are often delayed to a later delivery when implementation teams are faced with deadlines and too little time or resources.

Complexity and costs grow exponentially over time. The flexibility to quickly react
to changing business requirements is lost.

IT managers lose control over their integration architecture.

There has to be a better way.
