Integration Architecture

Why Would You Need This

Within the modern technology world integration is a fundamental theme. Rich interactions across the internet demand integrated services presented to customers, suppliers, partners and internally within the organization. All of this requires a robust enterprise integration capability and a flexible and secure integration architecture.

Increased integration enables more efficient business processes and the possibility of monetizing data and services in a way previously not possible; however, it also poses a significant security threat as the inner functions of a business are exposed to the world. A properly designed integration capability can transform a business, a poorly designed one can be an existential threat.
