Over $1.2 Million in Savings to Companies Through Brokering of EAI Software Development Components

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new option is emerging in the software development world for the purchase and sale of developed EAI components. Through Code Exchange, Inc’s successful Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Exchange (www.eaiexchange.com) and code Broker Services, companies have saved over $1.2 million by purchasing existing integration components instead of building them from scratch.

Software development is quickly moving to a component based format and for the first time we are seeing complex applications being pieced together from the culmination of existing objects. The direct result of this is quicker development and savings for almost all efforts using this approach. Application integration can benefit significantly from this change, as many times, the same EAI components that are developed can be used over and over again. However, it is often impossible to find the unique component needed, or for that mater, make available a developed component that would be needed by others.

Peter Wokwicz, leading software industry expert with Tatum LLC, has noted this trend, “We are starting to see the rapid creation of a developed software exchange market in the integration industry creating additional revenue for developers and significant savings for implementers. This is a major industry change where all parties involved are benefiting. Code Exchange, Inc. has pioneered the facilitation and is the leader in this newly created market.”

To assist in the creation of a completely open market for components, the EAI Exchange recently announced the addition of a “free to list” Exchange center. This is the perfect environment for developers, consulting companies and businesses looking to receive payback on their prior development investments to sell their EAI components to consulting companies and businesses. The “Free Exchange” also provides an excellent opportunity for the searching and purchasing of pre-existing components.

The EAI Exchange (www.eaiexchange.com) provides a place to list EAI components, search these components and put the buyer and seller in contact. And through Code Exchange, Inc.’s rapidly expanding Broker Services, these development assets can be audited and safely transacted.
