Editing Universal integration platform (section)

A '''universal integration platform''' is a [[software development|development]]- and/or [[computer configuration|configuration]]-time analog of a universal server. The emphasis on the term: "[[Platform (computing)|platform]]" implies a [[Middleware (distributed applications)|middleware]] environment from which integration oriented solutions are derived. Likewise, the term: "Universal" implies depth and breadth of integration capabilities that transcend disparate [[operating system]]s, [[Protocol (computing)|protocols]], [[API]]s, data sources, [[programming language]]s, [[composite process]]es, [[discrete service]]s, and [[monolithic application]]s.
