Business Integration with the MQSeries Family

Business integration means that different computer systems, employees, business partners
and suppliers work together to provide the best and most innovative service to the enterprise
and its customers. The barriers of diverse computer systems, geographic boundaries, time
differences, language and format differences, and different methods of working can all be
overcome with the MQSeries family.
Business integration means that it is possible to:
• Connect customers, suppliers, partners, and service providers, while maintaining
security and control, to enable newly built and re-engineered applications for more
effective business processes (for example, supply-chain management).
• Make mergers and acquisitions a success by integrating dissimilar IT infrastructures
from two or more companies so they can work as a single entity.
• React more quickly to market trends and opportunities because IT systems are flexible
and dependable, and no longer constraining.
Different hardware and software platforms can behave as if they were designed to work
together.
