iWay EIM Approach
In effect, this is a turn-around from traditional
approaches. Other vendors in this space
primarily started as batch vendors and now offer
real-time or near-real-time extensions but they
are still basically batch products. iWay, on the
other hand, has designed its EIM to target realtime requirements and, yes, it can do batch too.
Companies whose primary requirements are for
real-time processing could do worse than to take
a good look at iWay EIM.
