The main benefit of the introduction of middleware is to reduce the interface complexity of the existing point-to-point connections between the different applications. However, the return on investment is often less than expected. This article presents a pitfall which seems obvious but is seldom avoided.
Chapter 2 introduces the Four Layer Model which is used as theoretical background. As an example often works best to explain the situation, chapter 3 introduces a simple environment based on a telecom operator business with only 4 systems. The typical introduction of middleware for this example is explained in chapter 4. As the previous chapters introduce the situation, chapter 5 handles the pitfalls this article is about. Chapter 6 finally presents the conclusion that can be drawn.
