The Association for Enterprise Integration (AFEI) is a rapidly growing organization that focuses on the challenges, opportunities and benefits associated with enterprise integration and net-centric operations. The building blocks of enterprises today are people, process, technology and information. Each of these is a critical component in achieving effective net-centric enterprises that leverage the power of technology to establish and sustain their operations in a networked economy.

Our Value

Companies and individuals join AFEI to:

* Benefit from the networking opportunities with other companies and our government participants.
