BPI and SMB is it real?

Since the advent of the Internet in the late 90th the level of expectation regards business integration has subdued quit a bit. The best analogy is data bases in the late 70th. All corporate data will be stowed in fully indexed data bases, which will provide business integration to all. Let's not forget, data bases were merely to integration information within the corporate firewall, and we failed. Hence, BPI will succeed only if carefully measures will be applied, and hype will be rejected.
