A universal integration platform is a development- and/or configuration-time analog of a universal server. The emphasis on the term: "platform" implies a middleware environment from which integration oriented solutions are derived. Likewise, the term: "Universal" implies depth and breadth of integration capabilities that transcend disparate operating systems, protocols, APIs, data sources, programming languages, composite processes, discrete services, and monolithic applications.
