AIA stands for “Application Integration Architecture”
PIP stands
for “Process Integration Packs”
Basically, AIA (Application Integration Architecture) is a business process
platform. based on standards, which supports pre-built but modifiable process
flows across existing Oracle applications and third-party services at the data,
process, and user interface level.
AIA’s pre-built orchestrations or integration processes are required that
layer across existing applications. These need to be made up of common
processes, objects, and services. Oracle has also defined a number of enterprise
business objects based on the business documents from Open Application Group. In
addition, processes can also include services that have not been developed by
Oracle and are application independent.
PIP (Process Integration Packs) is part of the AIA platform. Oracle use PIPs
to deliver both horizontal and industry-specific pre-built, pre-integrated
business flows packs that flows across the company’s diverse pplication
portfolio. PIPs use Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite as the foundation and is
able to enable quick and relatively simple implementation by customers.
Some example PIPs are:

Oracle E-Business Suite Order Management
