ABSTRACT
Enterprise Information Systems (EISs) become more and more important in the daily management of enterprises. However, advanced EISs are required due to rapid business development and global markets. Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is made available by Web Services technology for application integration with loose coupling and flexible assembling to new application systems. The paper presents an object-oriented analysis in EAI with a case of BYJC-OKUMA (Beijing) Machine Tool Co., Ltd. It proposes a Web ServiceS-based EAI solution and an object-oriented UML model of the sale management system for BYJC-OKUMA (Beijing). The workflow of its sale process is analyzed and modeled by UML as well. The study could provide reference for researchers to investigate and develop Semantic Business Process Management (SBPM) for Web Services-based EAI. It could also provide reference for IT outsourcing companies to deliver cost reduction EAI solutions for BYJC-OKUMA (Beijing) and other relevant enterprises.
