message-oriented middleware (MOM)

Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) is software that enables different computer systems or applications to communicate and share data by sending messages through a central platform. It acts like a messaging service where one system can send a message, and MOM ensures it reaches the intended recipient reliably, even if they are temporarily unavailable. This allows diverse systems to work together seamlessly, improving flexibility and scalability in complex IT environments. MOM is commonly used in enterprise settings to enable smooth, asynchronous communication between various applications or services.
