Hi,

EDI

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a set of standards for structuring information that is to be

electronically exchanged between and within businesses, organizations.

EAI

EAI is a business computing term for the plans, methods, and tools aimed at modernizing, consolidating, and coordinating the computer applications in an enterprise.

EAI may involve developing a new total view of an enterprise's business and its applications, seeing how existing applications fit into the new view, and then devising ways to efficiently reuse what already exists while adding new applications and data

Look at this link for EAI
