Middleware / Integration Specialist

The Middleware/Integration Specialist designs, develops and tests the software that directly enables application interactions among programs in a distributed environment.  The integration of disparate systems and back end systems to web front ends is a primary responsibility for these Specialists.

The Middleware/Integration Specialist has a strong understanding of integration technologies, including the interfaces and adapters needed to integrate systems.

Middleware software integrates various software systems and/or components and is typically used to improve information technology workflows, simplify complex application interactions in a distributed environment, and in general to facilitate interoperability amongst applications.

When several disparate software systems are being utilized but cannot easily interact, it creates inefficiencies which can generally only be solved in one of three ways: developing a new, comprehensive software application which replaces all the disparate systems, modifying the existing applications with a library of functions which must be customized for each application, or integrating the existing applications with a middleware solution that uses a common library of functions.

There are obvious advantages to middleware, such as reducing time and resources required for designing, coding and maintaining the solution and continuing the use of applications which end users are already familiar with. Middleware can serve as a link between almost any set of applications, from those which run on the same operating system and computer network to applications which run on different operating systems and external computer networks.
