Siebel Master Data Applications Reference > Architecture and Framework > About Siebel Master Data Applications Architecture > About Siebel Master Data Applications IntegrationThe following sections discuss the means for Siebel Master Data Applications integration. Siebel Universal Application NetworkSiebel Systems' Universal Application Network (UAN) 1.0 uses a library of business processes to integrate external applications and Siebel eBusiness Applications, including the Siebel Master Data Applications. This library consists of business process flows, common objects, and transformation maps that execute on third-party integration servers, such as Tibco and webMethods. For further information on UAN, see the following references:
Siebel eBusiness Application IntegrationSiebel eBusiness Application Integration (eAI) provides components for integrating Siebel eBusiness Applications with external applications and technologies, including Siebel Master Data Applications, and is designed to work with third-party solutions such as those from IBM, CrossWorlds, TIBCO, Vitria, SeeBeyond, webMethods, and others. Siebel eAI provides bidirectional real-time and batch solutions for integrating Siebel eBusiness Applications with other applications, and is designed as a set of interfaces that interact with each other and with other components within Siebel eBusiness Applications. For further information on Siebel eAI, see the following references:
Siebel Enterprise Integration ManagerSiebel Enterprise Integration Manager (EIM) is an important component of Siebel Master Data Applications. It bulk imports and exports data residing in other back-office systems into Siebel Master Data Applications and consolidates and replicates information from these sources. Siebel EIM provides a schema abstraction and has high throughput. Some features of Siebel EIM include:
For further information about Siebel EIM, see Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager Administration Guide. Transport AdaptersTransport Adapters are prebuilt business services providing an interface between Siebel eBusiness Applications and external applications. Transports allow Siebel Master Data Applications to exchange data with external applications using standard technologies for both synchronous and asynchronous communication protocols. Transports provide connectivity to virtually any communication protocol that can represent data as text or binary messages, including MQSeries from IBM, and HTTP.
