Old concepts and new technologies have recently converged to generate a new strategy to improve IT responsiveness while reducing integration costs. It’s the integration layer, and it may put an end to all those complaints about IT’s slowness and inflexibility.

Companies around the world make a significant investment in applications to run their businesses effectively, efficiently and to gain a competitive advantage.

Over the years, businesses have built a portfolio of “best of breed” applications which, by their disparate nature, often lead to a lack of integration and present challenges in adapting to market and regulatory changes or new initiatives.

Running disconnected applications has a real impact on business performance, introducing delays and costs in transfer of data between applications. It also becomes difficult to take a consolidated view of the overall business.

The purpose of systems integration is to provide a holistic approach to integrating these various applications and streamlining business processes across the entire organisation.

Systems Integration for Small to Medium Enterprises

Many large companies have deployed their own forms of integration. The resultant systems are large, costly and complex, and require their own small army to maintain them. This approach is beyond the capabilities and budgets of most small to medium enterprises.

Many mid-market companies are struggling with disconnected applications, due to the high cost of maintaining them, especially in a dynamic market environment where senior management wants flexibility and pro-activity.

There are viable integration options for small to medium enterprises that avoid or overcome these obstacles and allow such businesses to reap the benefits of application integration. Appropriately skilled and experienced experts / consultants can provide guidance through all stages of a systems integration project, from initiation to implementation
