Peer-to-Peer Integration

In peer-to-peer integration shown in the following image, multiple applications interact through a central software bus. Usually, applications use the messaging architecture and choose a specific standard. For example, the insurance industry can use the ACORD standard for the syntax and rules of the messages flowing in this information bus.
