Most middleware applications also support both data integrity and functional integrity tracking to assure all data received and transmitted are properly accounted for.
Middleware can consist of a third-party application, such as IBM’s WebSphere MQ, or it can be specifically developed for an enterprise-wide order-management system. For example, to manage integration with its retail.dot.commerce system, CommercialWare uses WebSphere MQ and its own program, integration.dot.commerce, to let retailers and direct marketers integrate Commercial Ware products into their existing IT infrastructures. Integration.dot.commerce maps and translates application data into the appropriate format and supports industry standard protocols so Commercial Ware’s software can fit into any existing architecture.
