Siebel Financial Services Connector for IAA-XML Guide > Overview >
Architectural Overview
Siebel Financial Services eAI architecture is built on top of Siebel eBusiness Application Integration (eAI) architecture. Siebel Financial Services eAI framework has been built to support XML messaging based communication infrastructure. Customers of Financial Services have the need to integrate with many different applications through messaging mechanisms. To fulfill this requirement, many connectors have to be built to support various industry standards.
Siebel Financial Services allows you to build and deploy multiple connectors. To demonstrate such flexibility, Siebel Financial Services Application has built three connectors—Siebel Connector for IAA-XML, Siebel Connector for ACORD XML, and Siebel Connector for IFX XML—all based on the Siebel Financial Services eAI framework.
Figure 1 illustrates the high-level architecture of the Siebel Financial Services eAI and the standard connectors.
