The main challenge that most organizations face today is managing and maintaining their diverse
systems and applications across the various functions and departments, which, over time, have
grown into individual and isolated silos of data. As organizations grow in size, they either
introduces more systems in IT architecture, or make existing systems more complex. These multiple
systems interact with each other over custom built interfaces that are created as and when
required. Over time, such proliferation of systems and interfaces results in an architecture that
is complicated, costly and difficult to maintain. Further, issues related to managing numerous
suppliers, partners and business users arise, and complexities involved in managing disparate
applications increase many fold.
Application Integration helps you to –
Orientate your IT to business processes rather than to applications and systems.
Consolidate your systems and encapsulate your applications
Reduce interfaces and reduce maintenance and adaptation costs
Enhance your flexibility with scalable architecture
Maximize your existing IT investments
Further, integration is the key to reducing complexities, improving time-to-market, reducing
costs, delivering accurate information, improving performance and productivity, increasing reuse
and providing flexibility and scalability.
