Erfolgsfaktoren der Applikationsintegration

Abstract

In this paper success factors for application integration are identified. Furthermore, the factors are confirmed using structural equation modeling. Success is measured using five goal indicators: quality of process support, business satisfaction, application integration costs, architectural flexibility and time-to-market. All factors discussed — architecture management, business-IT alignment, organization of integration, integration methodology, service oriented architecture, consolidation of applications, standardization and technical quality of integration infrastructures — show positive impact on application integration success. Since no dominant factor could be identified, a balanced implementation of all success factors is recommended.
