System Integration

System Integration

Process of linking together various IT systems

System integration is the process of joining software and hardware modules into one cohesive infrastructure, enabling all pieces to work as a whole. Often referred to as IT integration or software integration, it results in the following advantages.

Cost-effectiveness. More often than not, system integration comes at a lower cost than replacing all disjointed parts with a new single system.

Data Integration

Data integration is the process of gathering data from disparate sources together to provide businesses with a centralized access point making data more available and easy to process/consume by systems and their users.

Business to Business Integration

As the name suggests, this type of integration enables companies to automate business communication and processes with all stakeholders to exchange vital for their business data more efficiently.

Legacy System Integration

Legacy system integration implies connectivity between outdated legacy systems  with more modern IT infrastructure to ensure seamless communication between the components and avoid disrupting a company’s day-to-day workflow.

Electronic Document Interchange

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the system-to-system exchange of business documents in a standard electronic format between business partners intended to replace paper-based documents (e.g., invoices or purchase orders).

Enterprise Application Integration

Enterprise application integration is all about bridging gaps between different software programs and applications (ERP, CRM, SCM, etc.) to streamline business processes through smooth data flow from one point to another.

Common Data Format Integration

Integrating different IT systems into each other usually requires that the data coming out from one system needs to be transformed into a different data format used by the receiving system.

The future of system integration

System integration plays a vital role in producing efficient workflows. With the increasing data volumes and the growing adoption of cloud computing, system integration will continue to see an upward trend in the future.
