Modern Business Integration

Modern business, no matter how big it is it is a complicated affair. Even small companies use many thousands of marketing, business and operational applications.

The applications must function seamlessly to achieve the results that are most important to the business. That’s the aim of business integration, which is focused on connecting and empowering everyone in the ecosystem to work as a unified unit.

The correct design is essential to an effective business integration. Many times integrations are constructed in an approach that makes it difficult to change the design. These poor design decisions can lead to a system which is difficult to maintain and run, and also costly.

In the past, business integrations were mostly focused on integrating IT software and systems, such as CRM and ERP solutions. This kind of integration is known as application integration, and is usually achieved using APIs or other tools that allow connectivity between systems. These types of integrations tend to be limited in scope and require an entire team of technical managers on site to maintain and manage.

The most important factor in modern business integration success is an approach that is holistic and focuses primarily on the integration of business services. This is accomplished by identifying the business services required and mapping those to the appropriate technology. It also involves the development of the required components for integration, including connectors data mappings, connectors, and a robust testing and deployment process in a controlled environment. Afterward, a monitoring and optimization process is put in place to ensure the business integration is meeting its goals.
