enterprise information integration (EII)

Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is a tool to provide data in a SOA architecture.

Enterprise Information Integration (EII) supports queries of relational data, data in Extensible Markup Language(XML) or tabular form, as well as unstructured information such as that provided by text, graphics or video, and can represent it in real time across different data sources and data formats in virtual layers. EII tools access distributed, heterogeneous data and content sources in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and aggregate the information, making it appear to the user as if it came from a single source.

In addition, Enterprise Information Integration can virtualize data delivery processes.
