Business agility demands that IT systems are adaptable and responsive to change. To gain competitive advantage, companies are shortening application refresh cycles. Technological evolution in cloud and mobile computing platforms is also driving application change. This ‘perfect storm’ of rapid business and technological change makes application integration a pressing concern. In trying to meet competing demands, it is all too easy to end up with a series of fragmented data sources and isolated applications, leading to the build up of an ‘integration deficit’.
Enterprise application integration addresses this issue. A strategic integration solution delivers:
- Opportunities to reuse existing application components
- Reduced re-keying, avoiding data processing delay
- More reliable application interfaces, with fewer data exceptions
- More accurate, cross-application management information
- Lower application support costs
