Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

EAI is a suite of software applications that integrates existing systems by providing
layers of software that connect applications together. Although there is no centralized EAI
database, EAI software keeps files of metadata that describe where data are located. Users can
access the EAI system to find the data they need. In some cases, the EAI system provides
services that supply a virtual integrated database for the user to process. The major benefit of
EAI is that it enables organizations to use existing applications while eliminating many of the
serious problems of isolated systems. Converting to an EAI system is not nearly as disruptive as
converting to enterprise resource planning (ERP). It also provides many of the benefits of ERP.
Some organizations develop EAI applications as a stepping stone to complete ERP systems.
