System and Method of Integrating Enterprise Applications

Abstract

The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to enterprise application integration. In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in a computer system including a service oriented architecture (SOA), where the system includes a composite application configured to present sales targeted information by combining services from multiple application resources on a network, wherein the multiple application resources include: a sales force automation (SFA) tool configured to automate sales and sales force management functions; a real-time predictive analytics tool configured to evaluate customer purchasing data and recommend products or services based on the customer purchasing data; a knowledge management tool configured to search and retrieve data across multiple integrated applications; and a calendar tool configured to manage appointment scheduling. The multiple application resources can further include a collaboration tool; and a business intelligence tool, including at least one live news feed.

1 . A computer system comprising:
 at least one processor; and   at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor having stored thereon:
 a composite application that includes a framework for query handlers and that is configured to combine services from multiple application resources on a network; 
   wherein the composite application includes instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
 checking for query handlers that fit in the framework included in the composite application; 
 based on the checking, locating query handlers that fit in the framework included in the composite application; 
 incorporating, into the composite application at runtime, the located query handlers; and 
 providing collaborative functionality between the multiple application resources on the network by enabling multiple independent application resources to communicate with one another through the located query handlers incorporated into the composite application at runtime and presenting results of the collaborative functionality.
