Integration of enterprise resources planning software using design patterns and distributed objects technology

Changes in business and information technology have made great impact on individual organisations. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software has become something they suppose to have or will lose a race with competition that has already integrated ERP. This paper seeks to make a contribution to integrating of ERP with legacy applications but also to provide flexible mechanism for integrating new applications in the near future. We plan to expand our solution to few ERPs therefore it is designed for smooth transition to selected one. All sides of proposed solution (ERP, legacy and new applications) get their own wrapper whose responsibility is to facilitate encapsulation and flexibility. Our integration mechanism is distributed objects technology implemented through design patterns.
