Answer to Question 1

An enterprise application integration (EAI) system tackles the silo problem by providing layers of software that connect information systems together. EAI is software that enables information silos to communicate with each other and to share data.
Although there is no centralized EAI database, EAI software keeps files of metadata that describe where all the organization's data are located and how the data must be transformed to work at each location. These details are hidden from users; the EAI system appears to be an integrated database to the user.

TRUE
