Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)

[next-mdx-remote] error compiling MDX: Could not parse expression with acorn: Expecting Unicode escape sequence \uXXXX 20 | If integration is applied without following a structured EAI approach, [point-to-point connections](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-point_connection "Point-to-point connection") grow across an organization. Dependencies are added on an impromptu basis, resulting in a complex structure that is difficult to maintain. This is commonly referred to as spaghetti, an allusion to the programming equivalent of [spaghetti code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_code "Spaghetti code"). For example:\[_[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")_\] 21 | > 22 | > The number of connections needed to have fully meshed point-to-point connections, with n points, is given by  (see [binomial coefficient](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient "Binomial coefficient")). Thus, for ten applications to be fully integrated point-to-point,  point-to-point connections are needed. | ^ 23 | 24 | However, the number of connections within organizations does not grow according to the square of the number of points. In general, the number of connections to any point is independent of the number of other points in an organization ([Thought experiment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_experiment "Thought experiment"): if an additional point is added to your organization, are you aware of it? Does it increase the number of connections other unrelated points have?). There are a small number of "collection" points for which this does not apply, but these do not require EAI patterns to manage. More information: https://mdxjs.com/docs/troubleshooting-mdx
